I added ammonia solution on acid solution, white solid precipitated then it disappeared. But next i used ammonium sulfate and white salt precipitated.
I will wash and dry it tomorrow.

I made it. I heat it with small torch. But why it has blue colour? Do you know decomposition temperature?

Its look like Tungsten pentoxide.

It is probably some mixed W(VI)/W(V) oxide. In your mixture must be some reducing agent, I don't know what reducing agent.

I don't know. I washed powder three times.

Really strange. I wonder if dust can react with this thing.

Dust is organic material, WO3 have mildly oxidizing properties - maybe they can react with each other. Even trace amount of W(V) can cause strong blue
colouration.

Okay. Do you know acid thermal decomposition product? I have not seen anywhere, it is written that it decompose above 400 ° C and releases poisonous
gas. I can not understand why they do not write what is left and what gas is formed.

PH3 comes to mind with phosphotungstic acid at such high temperatures.
But we are talking about decomposition of ammonium paratungstate - there are products just WO3, NH3 and H2O.

No, i mean Phosphotungstic acid. Acid decomposition is easiest way, if product is useful reagent.

I think it is very unlikely that phosphate in any phosphotungstate salt would be reduced to phosphine by ammonia or similar NH compounds; the
electrons are basically rolling uphill. Maybe if you attempted a carbothermal reduction.

No, it isn't. How do you want to separate phosphate? It is much easier to crystallize ammonium paratungstate (which is far less soluble in water than
ammonium hydrogenphosphate) and decompose it.

But carbothermal reduction will lead also to reduction of W(VI) - so WO3 (which is desired product) won't be formed.

I was given old things, this is one of them. Phosphotungstic acid was in this vial It had a very old label and it was written 1958 and the name, it is
strange why it has such a color.
