The chemical symbol for tungsten is W which stands for Wolfram. The name came from medieval German smelters who found that tin ores containing tungsten had a much lower yield. It was said that the tungsten devoured the tin "like a wolf". Pure tungsten metal was first isolated by two Spanish chemists, the de Elhujar brothers in 1783.
Tungsten is recovered from tungsten ore concentrates in the form of sodium tungstate by a basic process in which ground ore is first digested in a sodium hydroxide solution followed by diluting the solution to dissolve sodium tungstate separating the solution from the caustic insoluble sludge and crystallizing soluble sodium tungstate, wherein the present invention permits improved recovery of ...

The separation and extration of tin and tungsten from wolframite – scheelite mixed ore with high tin content is urgently needed given the increasingly exhaustion of the high-grade tungsten ore. However, current tungsten hydrometallurgy technologies suffer from considerably drawbacks, such as low recovery of tin, high consumption of chemicals, and large sodium salt waste water discharge.
Tungsten carbide (WC) is chemically a binary compound of tungsten and carbon in the stoichiometric ratio of 93.87% tungsten and 6.13% carbon. However, industrially the term usually implies cemented tungsten carbides (CWC); a sintered powdered metallurgical product consisting of very fine grains of pure tungsten carbide bound or cemented together in a cobalt matrix.

Abstract. Waste selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts are potential environmental hazards. In this study, the recovery of vanadium and tungsten from waste SCR catalysts by K 2 CO 3 roasting and water leaching was investigated. The roasting and leaching conditions were optimized: the leaching efficiencies of vanadium and tungsten were 91.19% and 85.36%, respectively, when 18 …
Tungsten Metallurgy. Nearly all alloy steels containing tungsten are made in the electric furnace where tungsten is introduced to the steel's metallurgy in the form of ferro-tungsten. Ferro-tungsten, melts between 3500 and 3700 degrees F., while tungsten powder melts between 6000 and 6200 degrees F. Neither will actually melt in a steel ...
Even so, analysts remain hopeful that a recovery in tungsten prices is coming in 2017. That optimism has left investors wondering whether tungsten investment is a …
A method for recovering tungsten from a tungsten containing spent catalyst comprises digesting the catalyst in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution wherein the mole ratio of the sodium hydroxide to the tungsten contained in the spent catalyst is from about 2.6 to about 4.2 and wherein the amount of water is sufficient to dissolve the subsequently produced sodium tungstate, at a temperature of at ...
Chemical compounds Tungsten carbide (WC) Tungsten carbides are divided into two categories. The first is the cemented tungsten carbides, also called hard metals, which are essentially WC produced from sintering a mixture of carbon black and hydrogen-reduced tungsten powder at 1,500° C (2,700° F). These are cemented using a cobalt or nickel ...
