Influences of Temperature on the Conversion of Ammonium Tungstate Pentahydrate to Tungsten Oxide Particles with Controllable Sizes, Crystallinities, and Physical Properties

Indonesian Journal of Chemistry, 2016

The purpose of this study was to investigate influences of temperature on the conversion of ammonium tungstate pentahydrate (ATP) powder to tungsten trioxide (WO3) particles with controllable sizes, crystallinities, and physicochemical properties. In this study, we used a simple thermal decomposition method. In the experimental procedure, we explored the effect of temperature on the physicochemical properties of ATP by testing various heating temperatures (from 100 to 900 °C). The heated ATP samples were then characterized by a physical observation (i.e. color) and various analysis methods (i.e. a thermal gravimetric and differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, an X-ray diffraction, and a scanning electron microscope). Experimental results showed that increases in temperature had an impact to the decreases in particle size, the change in material crystallinity, and the change in physical properties (e.g. change of color from white, orange, to yellowish green). The relat...

Formation Mechanism of Barium Titanate by Solid-State Reactions

2014

The solid state reactions of BaTiO3 formation from a mechanically activated BaCO3-TiO2 powder mixture have been investigated. Thermogravimetric TGA, thermomechanical TMA, scanning electron microscopy SEM, X-ray diffraction XRD and reactions thermodynamic analyses have been used in the present study. The results of these analyses showed that, the formation of BaTiO3 proceeds through a direct reaction between BaCO3 and TiO2, not through the decomposition of BaCO3 to BaO neither through the formation of Ba2TiO4 intermediate phase. The agglomerated nature of the milled powder, its rearrangement during the course of the reaction, the particle size of BaCO3 and TiO2 and the effect of the evolved CO2 gas in the reaction zone are the major factors affecting the mechanism of reaction between BaCO3 and TiO2.

Preparation of nano-crystalline tungsten powders from gaseous WO2(OH)2

Tungsten, 2021

The industrial production of tungsten powder is carried out by the reduction of tungsten oxide powder via hydrogen. In this process, the size of the W particles is limited to particle sizes larger than 100 nm. To get below this limit, alternative processes are needed. In the current work, the possibility of preparing W powder below 100 nm via a vapour phase reduction of volatile WO2(OH)2 by hydrogen was investigated. The process consists of two stages. In the first stag,e WO2(OH)2 is formed by reacting WO3 with water vapour at temperatures of 1000–1100 °C. In the second stage, WO2(OH)2 is reduced by hydrogen at about 1000 °C to form metallic tungsten. The influence of process parameters such as furnace temperature, humidity and gas flow on the WO2(OH)2 evaporation and formation of tungsten powder was investigated. The characterization of the resulting powders was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron micr...
