An emergy-based comparison between primary and secondary tungsten
After the electrolysis process, solid tungsten carbides are filtered and dried. As such, the electrolyte containing cobalt (or nickel, iron) can be further processed as by-products. Finally, dried tungsten carbides mixing with charcoal powders are sent into vacuum furnaces for carbonization. ... Tungsten concentrates and semi-products data …
The largest Ferrotungsten producer outside of China and …
Wolframite and scheelite are typical tungsten mineral concentrates. These ores contain 60-70% tungsten xide (WO₃). Tungsten concentrate is sourced directly from miners and commodity traders. Combining tungsten concentrate (≈65% WO₃), pitch coke, ferrosilicon and scrap iron, this forms the ingredients to produce ferrotungsten.
