The process developed at CSIR-NML for their recycling is superior to presently practiced APT based chemical processing technologies in terms of: (1) higher tungsten and other valuable metal recovery efficiencies (98% vs 85–90%); (2) low capital investment and operating costs (capital and operating costs are ~50% of the currently …
The removal of the oxidized tungsten layer requires two processes: passivation/abrasion and chemical dissolution [8], [9]. Moreover, it is known that the dissolution static etch rate has to be low to prevent corrosion and planarization defects [10], …
Nanocrystalline tungsten powders of 99.9% purity were synthesized in large scale (1 kg/batch) by recycling heavy alloy scrap using a chemical route.Effect of reduction temperature on conversion of tungsten oxide powders to tungsten revealed that it requires a temperature of 800 °C with a residence time of 2 h for complete …
May 12, 2017. Tungsten carbide is roughly twice the stiffness of steel and density, making it fall somewhere between lead and fold. Tungsten carbide comes in over a dozen different grades, too, which can all be used in the tungsten carbide recycling industry and then reused for a number of applications in additional industries.
tungsten. tungsten processing, preparation of the ore for use in various products. Tungsten exhibits a body-centred cubic (bcc) crystal lattice. It has the highest melting point of all metals, 3,410° C (6,170° F), and it has high conductivity for electricity. Owing to this unique combination of properties, it is used extensively as filaments ...

The hydrometallurgical process, based on leaching in acid and/or alkali solutions, follows precipitation/solvent extraction/ion exchange/crystallization …
The major recycling method for cemented carbides is the hydrometallurgical process combined with the roasting step, which oxidizes W in scrap into tungsten oxide. However, this conventional process requires repetition of roasting and dissolution in some cases, which makes the process costly and inefficient. In contrast, the molten salt process ...
H.C. Starck Tungsten Powders is a world leader in the recycling of materials containing tungsten. Thanks to decades of experience, we are able to extract pure tungsten from almost all forms of tungsten scrap …
