A method is disclosed for producing ammonium paratungstate from cemented tungsten carbide which comprises subjecting the cemented tungsten carbide to electrolysis by passing about 0.5 to about 20 volts through an ammoniacal solution selected from the group consisting of ammonium hydroxide-ammonium chloride solution, ammonium hydroxide-ammonium carbonate solution, and ammonium hydroxide-ammonium sulfate solution, wherein platinum and the cemented tungsten carbide serve as the anode and wherein the anode is immersed in the solution, to decompose the cemented tungsten carbide and form a solution of ammonium tungstate from which is crystallized ammonium paratungstate.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for recovering tungsten from tungsten bearing material containing arsenic. The process involves adjusting a water slurry of the material to a pH of less than about 4 with an acid to solubilize the major portion of the tungsten, adding an insoluble ferric compound to the slurry to form a two phase system in which the solid phase contains the major portion of the arsenic and of any phosphorus which may be present, and a solution phase containing the major portion of the tungsten. After separation of the solid from the solution, the solution is adjusted to a pH of less than about 2 with an acid and a suffficient amount of hexamethylenetetramine is added to the solution to precipitate the major portion of the tungsten, followed by separating the precipitate from the resulting liquor. The solid phase containing the arsenic and phosphorus, if any, can be contacted with water and a soluble ferric salt to produce a treated solid which passes the EP toxicity test.

A process is disclosed for recovering tungsten, scandium, iron, and manganese from tungsten bearing material. The process involves digesting the material in sufficient sulfuric acid at a sufficient temperature for a sufficient time in the presence of a reducing agent to form a digestion solution containing the major portion of the scandium, iron, and manganese, and a digestion residue containing the major portion of the tungsten, separating the digestion solution from the digestion residue and extracting essentially all of the scandium from the solution with an organic consisting essentially of an extracting agent which is a dialkyl phosphoric acid which is present in an amount sufficient to extract essentially all of the scandium without extracting appreciable amounts of iron and manganese, and the balance an essentially aromatic solvent. The scandium containing organic is removed from the raffinate and stripped of the scandium with an aqueous ammonium carbonate solution which is separated from the stripped organic. The pH of the raffinate is adjusted to at least about 2 with a base and electrolyzed to remove the major portion of the iron as iron powder, which is separated from the resulting electrolyzed solution which contains the major portion of the manganese.

A process is disclosed for recovering cobalt from an alloy containing other metals as chromium, tungsten, etc. The process involves first adding the alloy to fused sodium hydroxide at a temperature of from about 750.degree. C. to about 1000.degree. C. to form a reaction mixture, the amount of sodium hydroxide being sufficient to subsequently form sodium salts which are essentially those of chromium and tungsten and hydroxides which are essentially those of cobalt and nickel. The reaction mixture is then heated at a sufficient temperature for a sufficient time while introducing an oxidizing gas into the reaction mixture to form a melt which consists essentially of the sodium salts and the hydroxides, followed by cooling the melt. The cooled melt is then contacted with sufficient water to form a solution containing the major portion of the sodium salts and a solid containing the major portion of the hydroxides, followed by separating the solid from the solution. The solid is then washed with sufficient water to remove the remaining portion of the sodium salts and other water soluble impurities and then separated from the resulting wash water.

A process is disclosed wherein tungsten is recovered from hazardous waste material containing said tungsten, arsenic, and other impurities which can consist of magnesium, phosphorus, and silicon and the resulting waste is treated to render it nonhazardous according to EPA standards for arsenic. Said process involves digesting said hazardous waste material in an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide, adjusting the pH of the resulting solution to about 11.0 to about 13.0 with NaOH to precipitate essentially all of the magnesium and silicon species, filtering the digestion mix to remove the solids from said resulting solution which contains about 80 to about 100% of said tungsten and essentially none of said magnesium and said silicon, slurrying the hazardous solids in hot water, and adding to the slurry a ferric salt solution to precipitate ferric hydroxide, filtering this mixture to give a solid which passes the EPA standard test for solids with respect to arsenic.
