Sodium tungstate dihydrate may be prepared by different methods such as alkaline hydrolysis, crystallization, extraction, soda solution pressure cooking, and so on. Alkaline Hydrolysis to Prepare Sodium Tungstate Dihydrate Step 1: Wolframite ore is crushed to 320 mesh, and alkaline hydrolysis is carried out in reactor with 30% caustic soda. The reaction equation is as follows: MnWO4?FeWO4+4NaOH→2Na2WO4+Fe(OH)2?Mn(OH)2 Step 2: The reaction product obtained in step 1 is reacted with calcium chloride to obtain calcium tungstate. The reaction equation is as…
