SILICOTUNGSTIC ACID AR
Silicotungstic Acid AR is the most commonly encountered heteropoly acid. It is widely used in heterogeneous catalysts,
notably in the showa denko process for the manufacturing of acetic acid.
Fabrication and Application of Silicotungstic Acid/Polyvinyl Alcohol and Phosphomolybdic Acid/Polyvinyl Alcohol Hybrid Membrane for Pervaporative Dehydration of Isopropanol Solution.
Silicotungstic acid (also known as tungstosilicic acid) is a heteropoly acid with the formula H4SiW12O40.nH2O. In freshly prepared samples, n is approximately 29, but after prolonged desiccation, n = 6.[1] It is a white solid although impure samples appear yellow. It is used as a catalyst in the chemical industry
