Calcium Tungstate Applications

Calcium tungstate is a very important chemical materials, which has applications in mainly ways:

1. For production of ammonium paratungstate, tungsten trioxide, tungsten iron, steel, carbide, tungsten materials, tungsten and tungsten alloys and other tungsten products;

2. Used as raw materials of tungsten series chemical products;

3. For fluorescent paint, photography screen pipe, medicine, X-ray photograph and fluorescent lighting;

4. Calcium tungstate is also used for luminous paint, fluorescent lights, neon lights, X-rays screen, medicine, scintillation counter and lasers.

Sodium Tungstate Applications

Applications:

Catalyst:

• Sodium tungstate is used as catalyst in paint dyes, pigment pharmaceuticals and many more chemical reactions like epoxidation of alkenes and oxidation of alcohols into aldehydes or ketones.

Anti-Diabetic Agent:

• Sodium tungstate is an effective antidiabetic agent when administered orally. It improves pancreatic function and beta cell proliferation. It activates glycogen synthesis through an insulin receptor-independent pathway.

Anti-Obesity Agent:

• There are dual effects of sodium tungstate on adipocyte biology: inhibition of adipogenesis and stimulation of cellular oxygen consumption. Sodium tungstate inhibits adipocyte differentiation and regulates the mitochondrial oxygen consumption of adipose cells. These effects contribute to the anti-obesity activity of sodium tungstate and confirm its potential as a powerful alternative for the treatment of obesity.

Permanent Chemical Modifier:

• Sodium tungstate is used for slurry sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric determination of indium in soils.

Other Uses:

• Manufacture of metal tungsten, tungsten acid, tungsten salts, dyes.
• Manufacture of heteropolyacid color lakes used in printing inks, plants, waxes, glasses, and textiles.
• Analytical reagent. Reagent for alkaloids, uric acid and plasma proteins.
• Fuel-cell electrode material.
• Fire proofing agent.
