To directly obtain solution of (NH4)2WO4 instead of Na2WO4 is the key for developing a cleaner technology of ammonium paratungstate production. In this paper, ammoniacal AMMONIUM CARBONATE (cas 10361-29-2) solution was adopted for leaching tungsten from the converted product, a mixture of H2WO4 and CaSO4 obtained by treating scheelite with sulfuric acid. The research indicates that tungsten can be efficiently extracted in form of ammonium tungstate solution with WO3 leaching yield of >99.5% under moderate leaching conditions. The WO3 leaching yield is influenced by the transformation of calcium sulfate to calcium carbonate due to forming CaWO4 through the secondary reaction between CaSO4 and (NH4)2WO4, whereas an excess (NH4)2CO3 (≥0.64 mol/L) can suppress the secondary reaction by facilitating the transformation. Additionally, the consumed ammonium carbonate can be recovered by treating the leaching residue with ammonium sulfate solution at above 70 °C. This work presents a cleaner and sustainable technique for producing ammonium paratungstate, with circulating the leaching reagents and bypassing the conversion of Na2WO4 to (NH4)2WO4.
