Chemistry & industry
Uses & manufacturing
Applications
UsesTungstic acid is used in preparing tungsten metal and many tungsten compounds. Also, it is a mordant for textiles.
UsesTungstic Acid is used as a starting material in the synthesis of polynanocomposite material and polycrystalline ceramics.
General DescriptionTungstic acid may be prepared by either digesting tungstate of lime or by treating tungsten with hydrochloric acid. 1
Preparation methods
PreparationTungstic acid is obtained as an intermediate in the recovery of tungsten from its minerals, scheelite and wolframite (See Tungsten). Also, the tungstic acid may be prepared by heating sodium tungstate with sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid: Na2WO4 + 2HCl → H2WO4 + 2NaCl Na2WO4 + H2SO4 → H2WO4 + Na2SO4
