Raw Material for Tungsten Oxide Production
According to the Tungsten oxide production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Tungsten oxide include Calcium Tungstate-Hydrochloric Acid.
Production Process of Tungsten Oxide
The extensive Tungsten oxide production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From Calcium Tungstate and Hydrochloric Acid: The industrial production process for Tungsten oxide follows several steps. First, calcium tungsten reacts with hydrochloric acid, forming tungstic acid. After that, tungstic acid is decomposed by heating, forming tungsten oxide. Finally, the product is purified and dried to obtain pure tungsten oxide.
Tungsten oxide is a yellow color powder. Its molecular formula is WO3, and it has a molar mass of 231.84 g/mol. Its density is around 7.16 g/cm³, and it is an electrical insulator. It has a melting point of 1,473 °C and a boiling point of 1,700 °C. It changes its color from yellow to dark orange when heated. It is insoluble in water but soluble in caustic alkalies and acids. Its crystal structure is tetragonal above 740 °C and shifts to orthorhombic from 330 to 740 °C. All these physical and chemical properties contribute to its usage in a variety of applications.
