Ammonium Metatungstate Market: Overview
Ammonium
metatungstate (AMT) is an important intermediate compound of the tungsten
hydrometallurgical process. It exists in the form of yellowish white crystals.
It has wide applications and is used as a raw material for the manufacture of
fine tungsten powder; tungsten heavy alloy powder; phosphotungstic, arsenic,
and silicotungstic acid; and refinery tungsten-based catalysts, capacitors,
nuclear shieldings, flame retardants, and corrosion inhibitors. AMT is highly
soluble in water. It is used as a raw material for the production of tungsten
catalysts for a variety of reactions, including oxidation, hydroxylation,
hydrogenation, and polymerization.
Ammonium Metatungstate Market: Drivers & Restraints
Ammonium
metatungstate is a source of high-purity, water-soluble tungsten, which is essentially
free of alkali and other metallic impurities. It is mainly used as a raw
material for the production of tungsten catalysts for a variety of reactions,
including oxidation, hydroxylation, hydrogenation, and polymerization. Suitable
carriers can be impregnated with alkali-free solutions of tungsten and
processed to remove water and ammonia. Such catalysts are used by the
petrochemical industry. Other applications include reagents for chemical
analysis such as for medical diagnosis, source material for the preparation of
high-purity WO3 used as a thin-film substrate for certain semiconductor
devices, and high-purity source material for research in tungsten chemistry.
Ammonium
metatungstate is manufactured by using ammonium paratungstate as raw material.
There are three different process by which ammonium metatungstate can be
obtained. The first process involves the leaching of wet ammonium paratungstate
with nitric acid to obtain a diluted solution of ammonium metatungstate.
Another method involves converting a diluted solution of ammonium metatungstate
into a concentrated solution of ammonium metatungstate, and the third process
involves spray-drying the concentrated solution of ammonium metatungstate to
obtain a powder of ammonium metatungstate. The driver of the ammonium
metatungstate is the demand from the petroleum industry but the high cost of
the manufacturing process acts as a restraint on the ammonium
metatungstate market.
Ammonium Metatungstate Market: Key Segments
Based on
application, the ammonium metatungstate market can be classified into the
petroleum industry, ceramic industry, fireproof fabric, metal tungsten, and
tungsten alloy. Ammonium metatungstate is an important tungsten-containing
compound, mainly used as catalyst in petroleum cracking, organic synthesis,
nitration, etc.. With the rapid development of the petroleum refining,
petrochemical engineering, and other industries, the usage of ammonium
metatungstate is increasing rapidly. In the electronics industry, ammonium
metatungstate is primarily used as a film substrate for semiconductor devices.
It plays a supportive role and improves film property. It is used as the
capacitor’s medium to better the frequency property. It offers the advantages
of small dielectric loss, large capacity, high temperature resistance. It is
also used as a raw material of tungsten alloy product in the sintering process,
the main production process of tungsten alloy shield. Ammonium metatungstate as
a new catalyst offers various properties. It exhibits high catalytic
performance and unique selectivity in the conversion process of methanol to
hydrocarbon. In addition, ammonium metatungstate is used in the petroleum,
electronics, defense, aerospace, metallurgy, and fire resistance sectors.

Ammonium Metatungstate Market: Regional Outlook
In terms
of region, the global ammonium metatungstate market can be classified into
North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East &
Africa. North America dominates the global ammonium metatungstate market, due
to a rise in the usage of ammonium metatungstate in the petrochemical
industries in the region. North America is followed by Europe. Expansion in the
ceramic industry is the major driving factor of the ammonium metatungstate in
the region. Demand for ammonium metatungstate has been rising in Asia Pacific
due to the expansion in the petroleum industry in the region. Countries such as
China, India, and Japan are driving the ammonium metatungstate market in Asia
Pacific, owing to the presence of large number of manufacturing facilities in
these countries.
