AMT Powder

AMT Powder

Price range: $64.00 through $1,000.00

AMT powder, or Ammonium Metatungstate, is a white to slightly yellowish crystalline powder with high purity and excellent water solubility, widely used as a tungsten source in industrial applications including catalyst production, tungsten alloys, electronics, and chemical manufacturing. It features a monoclinic crystal structure with uniform particles typically sized 10–50 micrometers. AMT is odorless, dry to the touch, and non-hygroscopic under normal conditions. It exhibits moderate thermal stability, decomposing above 400–500°C to yield tungsten trioxide (WO₃). AMT’s aqueous solutions are weakly acidic (pH 3.5–5.0) and it is insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone.

Introduction

Ammonium metatungstate (AMT), chemical formula (NH₄)₆[H₂W₁₂O₄₀]·xH₂O, is a key intermediate in tungsten hydrometallurgical processes. It serves as a high-purity tungsten source for producing tungsten oxides, catalysts, and specialized materials in petrochemical, aerospace, ceramic, and electronic industries. AMT’s superior water solubility compared to ammonium paratungstate (APT) allows for efficient preparation of concentrated tungstate solutions. Its crystalline structure involves α-Keggin-type metatungstate anions arranged in close-packed or hexagonal-rod formations, stabilized by ammonium ions and crystal water molecules through hydrogen bonding.

Key Features & Benefits

  • High Purity & Crystallinity: Uniform spherical crystals with high crystallinity and purity.

  • Excellent Water Solubility: Dissolves up to ~300 g per 100 g water at 20°C, facilitating aqueous processing.

  • Thermal Stability: Stable at room temperature; decomposes gradually above 100°C releasing crystal water, fully decomposing to WO₃ above 400–500°C.

  • Chemical Reactivity: Participates in acid-base and redox reactions, useful in catalyst synthesis and tungsten oxide production.

  • Low Electrical Conductivity: Suitable for high-purity electronic materials.

  • Non-Hygroscopic: Dry and stable under normal storage conditions.
