Fine grain size ammonium paratungstate may be prepared by microwave-ultrasonic cooperative evaporation crystallization at higher temperature and without addition of surfactant. A fine single crystal APT-4 with average particle size of 7.6μm, uniform particle size distribution and complete crystal form can be obtained under the following conditions: Not stirred by machinery or under magnetism; No addition of surfactants; Under better APT preparation conditions – ultrasonic frequency of 25kHz, power of 1000W, microwave power of 700W, temperature of 80°C, ammonium tungstate…
