Because tungsten plate is a rare metal, this characteristic make it difficult to be extracted, it is extracted only by organic solvent extraction method and ion exchange method. With the progress of science and technology, the development of metallurgical technology and the analysis and detection technology and the expansion of the scale of rare metal production, the purity of tungsten is improved continuously, the performance is improved and the varieties are increasing so as to expand the application field of tungsten.
Tungsten is an important part of modern high-tech new materials, a series of electronic optical materials, special alloys, new functional materials and organic metal compounds are required to use the unique properties of tungsten. Therefore, it is widely used in modern communication technology, electronic computer, aerospace development, medical and health field, photographic materials, optoelectronic materials, energy materials and catalyst materials, etc.
