  • Patent number: 3947332
    Abstract: Heteropoly acids of tungsten and molybdenum, such as tungstosilicic acid and molybdosilicic acid, are produced by first preparing an aqueous solution of an alkali metal tungstate or molybdate and an alkali metal salt of the hetero atom, and then removing the alkali metal cations from the solution by means of a cation exchange membrane under the influence of an applied electrical potential, whereby the reactive tungstate or molybdate and hetero species anions react to form the desired heteropoly acid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 1974
    Date of Patent: March 30, 1976
    Assignee: GTE Sylvania Incorporated
    Inventors: Clarence D. Vanderpool, James C. Patton, Jr., Tai K. Kim, Martin B. MacInnis
  • Patent number: 3936362
    Abstract: Ammonium tungstate, ammonium paratungstate, ammonium metatungstate or hydrated tungsten trioxide is produced by passing tungstate anions through an anion exchange membrane into an aqueous solution containing ammonium cations under the driving force of an electrical potential for a time sufficient to achieve a pH within the range in which the desired tungsten compound will form.
