Synthesis Method

Mix K2Cr2O7 with tungsten powder, can heat to 1700 degree celsius within 0.1~0.2s, potassium tungstate and chromium sesquioxide. Reaction between W and KOH solution can obtain:

K2WO4:2W+3O2+4KOH2K2WO4+2H2OW+4KOHK2WO4+2K+2H2

W and KOH solution: no reaction without oxygen, K2WO4 can be obtained with oxygen.

Storage Method

Sealed in storage tools. Keep in dry and cool place.

Ecological Effect

Harmful to water, do not make contact with groundwater or sewage system or pour into environment without government's permission.
