English Name: Potassium Phosphotungstate
Chemical Formula: K₃PW₁₂O₄₀
Solubility: Insoluble in water
Appearance: White Powder

Potassium Phosphotungstate Preparation

1. Weigh a certain amount of phosphotungstic acid, soluble in redistilled water.
2. Weigh a certain amount of potassium, phosphorus and potassium chloride, dissolve them in redistilled water.
3. Add potassium chloride solution into phosphotungstic acid solution drop by drop, keep stirring, white precipitation occurs gradually, chemical equation is 3KCl+H₃PW₁₂O₄₀=K₃PW₁₂O₄₀↓+3HCl
After finished dropping, keep stirring for 12 hours, until precipitating process is done.
4. Centrifugation. Dry the precipitation under 60℃ vacuum machine, calcination for 1 hour under 450℃, potassium phosphotungstate is obtained.
