Preparation method of tungsten oxide

John Albanese, leader of the Australian Labor Party, was sworn in as Australia's new prime minister. After his victory, Albanese said he would "make a big change" in the country's climate policy.  

"We now have an opportunity to end the 'climate wars' in Australia," he said.  "Australian businesses understand that doing the right thing on climate is good for our economy and good for jobs, and I hope Australia will join the global effort on climate change," Albanese said Australia would engage with other countries to change policies when it came to tackling climate change.  

In addition, Albanese’s Labor Party has proposed a more ambitious plan to cut emissions by 43 percent from 2005 levels by 2030, the report said. However, Labor is not currently planning to phase out coal use or halt new coal mining projects.  

The climate issue was a major concern of voters in Australia's general election. Mr. Morrison, the former prime minister, was criticized for failing to direct the response to repeated bushfires in 2019 and 2020.

SBS has reported that According to the latest Climate Change Performance Index of 64 countries released at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), Australia's climate policy ranks at the bottom of all countries, and is one of the world's worst performers in three aspects of emissions, renewable energy, and energy use.  Australia ranks 52nd in renewable energy, 54th in energy use, and 56th in emissions.  

It is predicted that the prices of many other commodities like the tungsten oxide, tungsten oxide overview, tungsten oxide application, tungsten oxide supplier, tungsten oxide price would increase in the next few days.

Tungsten oxide overview

Tungsten trioxide is a powder metallurgy raw material for the production of cemented carbide and tungsten products. According to the national standard (GB/T 3457-1998), it is divided into two types, namely tungsten trioxide (referred to as yellow tungsten), molecular formula is WO3, and blue tungsten oxide (referred to as blue tungsten, is a mixed tungsten oxide), molecular formula W20O58. Yellow tungsten is light yellow crystalline powder, blue tungsten is dark blue or blue-black crystalline powder.

Preparation method of tungsten oxide

1. Ammonium tungstate method: The tungsten concentrate is hydrolyzed by sodium hydroxide, neutralized with hydrochloric acid, and then reacted with ammonium chloride to generate ammonium tungstate, which is then added with hydrochloric acid for acid hydrolysis to generate tungstic acid, which is then decomposed by roasting. , pulverized to obtain tungsten trioxide.

2. Hydrochloric acid decomposition method of tungstate. The saturated aqueous solution of sodium tungstate Na2WO4, calcium tungstate CaWO4 and other tungstate salts is heated, and the solution is slowly added dropwise into 2-3 times excess boiling concentrated hydrochloric acid by molar ratio. According to the above reaction, yellow tungstic acid is precipitated. At this time, if the dripping speed is too fast or the liquid temperature drops, suspension or colloidal precipitation is likely to be formed, which brings difficulties to the next treatment. After the dropwise addition, heating was continued on a water bath for 1 h, and the precipitate became easy to filter. After standing, it was washed several times with 5% ammonium nitrate aqueous solution to completely remove Cl-. After filtration, it is dried at 120 °C, and finally heated to 600 °C, the tungstic acid is completely dehydrated and becomes tungsten trioxide.

3. Thermal decomposition of ammonium paratungstate. Put ammonium paratungstate (NH4) 10W12O41·11H2O purified by recrystallization method into a porcelain crucible, and when heated to above about 400 ℃, ammonia volatilizes to obtain tungsten trioxide.

Application of tungsten oxide WO3 powder

Tungsten oxide has a variety of uses in daily life. It is commonly used in the manufacture of phosphors for industrial X-ray screens and tungstates for fire-resistant fabrics. Due to its rich yellow element, tungsten oxide is also used as a pigment in ceramics and paints. In addition, other application examples of tungsten trioxide are as follows:

Tungsten oxide is mainly used in the production of tungsten powder and tungsten carbide powder by calcination reduction, and is further used in the production of cemented carbide products, such as the manufacture of tools and molds.

Tungsten oxide can also be used to manufacture pure tungsten products, tungsten rods, tungsten wires, tungsten electrodes; and use counterweights and radiation shielding materials.

In industrial production, a small amount is also used as a colorant for yellow ceramics. In the shipbuilding industry, tungsten oxide is used as an important anti-corrosion paint and coating material.

Tungsten oxide has been used to produce electrochromic windows, smart windows. These windows are electrically switchable glass that varies in light transmittance and applied voltage. This allows users to tint their windows by changing the heat or light.

According to a report by Turkey's Anadoru News Agency on the same day, the Turkish Defense Minister said that three grain ships will set sail from the Ukrainian port on the 5th local time.

On the 3rd, local time, the first grain ship from the Ukrainian port of Odessa passed the inspection of the Joint Coordination Center in Istanbul, Turkey, and continued to sail to its destination, the port of Tripoli, Lebanon.

Japan's Asahi Shimbun recently reported that oil giants in Europe and the United States have made a lot of money thanks to high oil prices without a substantial increase in OPEC +.

The report pointed out that large oil companies have achieved good results. BP's second-quarter 2022 results showed that its net profit was about three times that of the same period last year, to $9.3 billion.

Shell's second-quarter net profit was $18 billion, 5.3 times that of the same period a year earlier. ExxonMobil, the US oil giant, posted a net profit of $17.8 billion in the second quarter, 3.8 times that of the same period a year earlier. Chevron's second-quarter net profit was $11.6 billion, 3.8 times that of the same period a year earlier.
