<p>Recovery of the tungsten metal content of articles is carried out by means of chemical gas phase transport. Preferably, the process involves comminuting the articles to 0.1-1 mm particle size, heating to 1300-1500 degrees C in a protective gas atmosphere, successively replacing the protective gas with water vapour or humid air for oxidation to form gaseous oxidic tungsten compounds and then reducing the separated gaseous compounds in a hydrogen atmosphere at 900-1100 degrees C.</p> |
