Synthesis Method
Mix K2Cr2O7 with tungsten powder, can heat to 1700 degree celsius within 0.1~0.2s, potassium tungstate and chromium sesquioxide. Reaction between W and KOH solution can obtain:
K2WO4:2W+3O2+4KOH2K2WO4+2H2OW+4KOHK2WO4+2K+2H2
W and KOH solution: no reaction without oxygen, K2WO4 can be obtained with oxygen.
