Ammonium Metatungstate
Description :
Overview of Ammonium Metatungstate
Ammonium Metatungstate (AMT) is a water-soluble tungsten chemical that is utilised to prepare catalysts, as an analytical reagent and used in a variety of industrial applications. It is renowned due to its tungsten-rich content as well as its thermal stability. Ammonium Metatungstate is extensively used in the preparation of catalysts, heavy liquid separation, and even as a tungsten-based source for material research.
The compound is a light yellow to white crystallised powder that has excellent water solubility. Its characteristics--high tungsten content (>80 per cent Wo3 >80%) as well as thermal decomposition to the tungsten oxides, and its excellent solubility make it useful in catalysis as well as separation methods and advanced substances.
Similar products are Ammonium Paratungstate, Tungstic Acid, Sodium Tungstate, and various other tungsten compounds that are used for research and industrial applications.
