Cesium Tungstate

Introduction

Chinese Name：钨酸铯
CAS Number：13587-19-4
Chemical Formula：Cs2WO₄
Molecular Weight：513.64900
Exact Weight：513.74100

Characteristics

Cesium tungstate is colorless crystals, with strong hygroscopic, the phase transition occurs at 536 oc, transition from orthorhombic to hexagonal crystal. It is insoluble in water.

Hazard

1.Usually it is slightly harmful to water. Cesium tungstate can be soluble in water and react acid and alkali which will result in pollution to environment.
2.Cesium tungstate has acute toxicity, it may cause irritant effect. It may cause inflammation if contact with skin and eyes. Thus during the storage, it should be placed under normal temperature and pressure, avoid to get contact with water, acid and alkali. Ensure that it is placed in a cool, ventilated place to avoid accidental contact and result in harm.

Producing Method

Cesium tungstate is obtained by the reaction between CsCl and Ag2WO₄.
