摘要
This work presents the results of the tungsten recovery from a wolframite concentrate (61.5% WO3) from Igarape Manteiga (Rondonia - Brazil) after fusion with NaOH followed by leaching with water. The optimum fusion conditions required temperatures above 550 degrees C to avoid partial manganese leaching. 98.6% of tungsten was leached as Na2WO4 after fusion at 650 degrees C for 1 h. More than 99% of the element was extracted in one stage with Aliquat 336 or Alamine 336 (5-10 vol.% in kerosene, A/O=1 (v/v), 25 degrees C). Stripping was easily performed in one stage (>99.9%) with 2 mol L-1 NH3(aq.) (A/O=1 v/v, 25 degrees C) when Alamine 336 was the extractant. Tungsten was recovered as ammonium paratungstate (APT).
