Tungsten ore deposits in China show clearly their relationship between granitoids and orebodies. All kinds of different tungsten ore deposits, having the largest ore reserves in the world, occur in China. Major tungsten deposits in 1950'years were locally confined in three provinces such as Jiangxi, Hunan and Guangdong. However, the major tungsten ore deposits are replaced by new tungsten deposits such as Sandahozhuang, Xingluokeng, Shizhuan and Daminghsan deposit which may be larger than the previous major deposits. Tungsten ore deposits of China exhibit obviously the granitoid was the ore-bringer to form tungsten ore deposits. The wolframite-bearing quarz veins in China indicate that tungsten mineralization took place by crystallization of wolframite preferentially unless $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ was introduced from outside into the magma-origin-fluid, since it is understood that the scheelite in the Sangdong ore deposit was preferentially precipitated, because of chemical affinity, from the tungsten fluid in which Fe and Ca ions were as sufficient as to form magnetite, wolframite and scheelite. Tungsten deposits in the world are divided into two systems; W-Mo-Sn system and W-Mo system. Most of tungsten deposits in China dated to about 196-116 Ma belong to the W-Mo-Sn system, while late Cretaceous tungsten deposits such as the Sangdong deposit in Korea belongs to the W-Mo system. The genetic order of tin-tungsten-molybdenum mineralization observed in the Moping tungsten mine in China and the Sangdong in Korea may be attributed to volatile pressures in the same magma chamber. It is assumed from ages of tungsten mineralizations that ore elements such as tin, tungsten and molybdenum might be generated periodically by nuclear fission and fusion in a part of the mantle and the element generated was introduced into the magma chamber. The periodical generation of elements had determined association, depletion and enrichment of tin and molybdenum in tungsten mineralization and it results in little association of cassiterite in tungsten deposit of late Cretaceous ages. Different mechanism of emplacement of the ore-bearing magma has brought various genetic types of tungsten deposits as shown in China and the world.

Because of its unique properties, tungsten is a strategic and rare metal used in various industrial applications. However, the world's annual production of tungsten is only 84000 t. Ammonium paratungstate (APT), which is used as the main intermediate in industrial tungsten production, is usually obtained from tungsten concentrates of wolframite and scheelite by hydrometallurgical treatment. Intermediates such as tungsten trioxide, tungsten blue oxide, tungstic acid, and ammonium metatungstate can be derived from APT by thermal decomposition or chemical attack. Tungsten metal powder is produced through the hydrogen reduction of high-purity tungsten oxides, and tungsten carbide powder is produced by the reaction of tungsten powder and carbon black powder at 1300-1700℃ in a hydrogen atmosphere. Tungsten scrap can be divided into hard and soft scrap based on shape (bulk or powder). It can also be divided into new scrap generated during the production of tungsten-bearing goods and old scrap collected at the end of life. Recycling technologies for tungsten can be divided into four main groups: direct, chemical, and semi-direct recycling, and melting metallurgy. In this review, the current status of tungsten smelting and recycling technologies is discussed.

중석은 우리나라에서 40여년간 개발되어 1951년 이후 세계 굴지의 중석 생산국의 하나로 등장 했으나 중석에 대한 광물학적및 지화학적인 지식은 이들을 다루고 있는 전문가에게도 극히 제한되어 이해되고 있다. 중석에 대한 광물학, 지구화학적인 활동특성, 중석광상의 특정과 광화작용의 지질적인 환경등에 관한 연구논문이 세계적으로 상당량 발표되어 있다. 일반적으로 잘 알려진 중석광물중 회중석과 흑중석은 일차광물로 회중석계열 및 흑중석계열 광물중의 하나에 불과하며 이외 이차광물은 극히 드물게 산출되나 이들은 중석광물을 탐사하는데 중요한 자료가 되기도 한다. 반면 중석에 대한 지구화학지식은 아직도 불완전하게 알려져 있고 지질과정에 있어 중석의 활동 특성은 연구단계에 있다. 최근 중석의 기초 지구화학연구가 많이 진전되어 여러 학자들에 의하여 그 자료가 정리되어 발표되고 있다. 중석광상을 보다 더 이해하고 앞으로 효율적인 탐사를 위하여 현재까지 알려진 중석에 대한 지구화학적인 기초연구와 중석광상에 수반되는 원소들을 요약한다.

Tungsten coatings on the graphite (CX-2320) were successfully deposited using the vacuum plasma spraying (VPS) method. An optimum coating procedure was developed and coating thicknesses of $409{\mu}m$ (without an interlayer) and $378{\mu}m$ (with an interlayer) were obtained with no cracks and no signs of delamination. The mechanical characteristics and microstructure of the tungsten coating layers were investigated using a Vickers hardness tester, FE-SEM, EDS, and XRD. The effect of a titanium interlayer on the properties of the tungsten coating was investigated. It was shown that the titanium interlayer prevented the diffusion of carbon to the tungsten layer, thereby suppressing the formation of tungsten carbide. Vickers hardness data yielded values that were 62.5 ~ 80.46% of those for bulk tungsten, indicating that tungsten coatings on graphite can be utilized as a plasma-facing material. High heat flux tests were performed by using thermal plasma with a maximum flux of $10MW/^2$. Vickers hardness after the heat flux test is performed to see a change in the mechanical properties. The formationof a tungsten carbide and the effect of the titanium interlayer for the diffusion barrier are investigated by using energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS).

한국의 상동광상을 비롯한 일본, 미국, 구러시아 등지의 중석광상은 백악기 후기에 형성되었다. 그러나 세계 매장량의 반을 차지하는 중국의 중석광상은 쥬라기 후기로부터 백악기 초기에 형성되었다. 백악기 후반의 중석광상에서는 휘수연의 광화작용이 중석광화작용과 밀접히 수반되는 한편 중국의 중석광상에서는 휘수연 뿐만 아니라 주석도 밀접한 수반관계를 보인다. 중국의 중석광상은 세계 매장량의 과반수를 차지하기 때운에 이들의 산상은 다양하며 대체로 세계 중석광상의 성인을 대표하고 있다고 하겠다. 한국의 경우 90% 이상의 생산량을 보인 상동광상에서는 휘수연석이 부산물로 생산되었다. ppm 단위의 주석이 감지되지만 실제 석석은 상동광체에서 관찰되지 않았다. 수집된 기존 자료를 확인하기 위해 중국의 모평광상과 한국의 대화광상을 비교해 보았다. 두 광상의 석영맥에서 산출되는 광물은 거의 유사하나 특이한 점은 중국 모평에서는 진발다이트와 석석이 다량 산출된다는 점이다. 모평광상의 휘수연-석영맥중 채취한 진발다이트와 백운모의 연령은 181.1 Ma와 167.8 Ma 이고, 대화의 휘수연-석영맥중 백운모는 80.9 Ma와 80.2 Ma를 각각 얻었다. 한국의 백악기 후기 마그마로부터 공급된 중석 광화용액 중에는 주석이 중국처럼 그 양이 증가하여 중석광화작용에 후속되리만큼 충분히 공급되지 않았기 때문에 한국의 중석광상에서는 주석이 수반되지 않았다고 추정된다.

This study focuses on the development of an alkaline leaching hydrometallurgy process for the recovery of tungsten from WC/Co hardmetal sludge, and an examination of the effect of the process parameters on tungsten recovery. The alkaline leaching hydrometallurgy process has four stages, i.e., oxidation of the sludge, leaching of tungsten by NaOH, refinement of the leaching solution, and precipitation of tungsten. The WC/Co hardmetal sludge oxide consists of $WO_3$ and $CoWO_4$. The leaching of tungsten is most affected by the leaching temperature, followed by the NaOH concentration and the leaching time. About 99% of tungsten in the WC/Co hardmetal sludge is leached at temperatures above $90^{\circ}C$ and a NaOH concentration above 15%. For refinement of the leaching solution, pH control of the solution using HCl is more effective than the addition of $Na_2S{\cdot}9H_2O$. The tungsten is precipitated as high-purity $H_2WO_4{\cdot}H_2O$ by pH control using HCl. With decreasing pH of the solution, the tungsten recovery rate increases and then decrease. About 93% of tungsten in the WC/Co hardmetal sludge is recovered by the alkaline leaching hydrometallurgy process.

In cofiring of multilayered alumina with tungsten, the change of camber with lamination condition was experimented and the effect of sintering shrinkage of alumina and tungsten was investigated. From the exact measurement of sintering shrinkage of tungsten thick film, as lamination pressure increased, the sintering shrinkage of alumina decreased but that of tungsten thick film was not changed. So it was though that the main factor which induced the sintering shrinkage difference between ceramics and metal with lamination condition was the change of sintering shrinkage of ceramics. In case of high lamination pressure, high green sheet density, the cofired specimen showed low camber due to low shrinkage difference between alumina and tungsten and there was a linear relation between camber and shrinkage difference. It was found that this shrinkage difference could change the thickness of tungsten film and the microstructure within via hole during cofiring.

This paper presents a method of controlling the stiffness of a tungsten probe for an atomic force microscope (AFM) in order to provide high-quality phase contrast images in accordance with sample characteristics. While inducing sufficient deformation on sample surfaces with commercial Si or $Si_3N_4$ probes is difficult because of their low stiffness, a tungsten probe fabricated by electrochemical etching with appropriately high stiffness can generate relatively large elastic deformation without damaging sample surfaces. The fabrication of the tungsten probe involves two separate procedures. The first procedure involves immersing a tungsten wire with both ends bent parallel to the surface of an electrolyte and controlling the stiffness of the tungsten cantilever by decreasing its diameter using electrochemical etching in the direction of the central axis. The second procedure involves immersing the end of the etched tungsten cantilever in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the electrolyte and fabricating a tungsten tip with a tip radius of 20-50 nm via the necking phenomenon. The latter etching process applies pulse waves every 0.25 seconds to the manufactured tip to improve its yield. Finite element analysis (FEA) of the stiffness of the tungsten probe as a function of its diameter showed that the stiffness of the tungsten probes greatly varies from 56 N/m to 3501 N/m according to the cantilever diameters from $30{\mu}m$ to $100{\mu}m$, respectively. Thus, the proposed etching method is effective for producing a tungsten probe having specific stiffness for optimal use with an AFM and certain samples.

본 의료기관에서 사용되는 방사선 차폐체는 주로 납을 활용하여 제품과 부속품을 제작한다. 납은 가공성과 경제성이 우수하지만 폐기 시 환경 문제로 인해 사용량을 줄이고 있으며, 오랫동안 사용했을 시 크랙 현상과 중력에 의한 처짐 현상으로 인해 차폐막, 차폐벽, 의료기기 부픔 등으로 장기간 사용하기에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 구리, 주석 등을 사용하지만, 아직 차폐성능을 제어하기에는 제작 공정에 어려움이 있어 대부분 텅스텐을 많이 사용하고 있다. 그러나 아직 텅스텐의 종류에 따른 특성이 잘 제시되지 못해 다른 차폐재와의 비교가 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 순수 텅스텐, 탄화텅스텐, 산화 텅스텐을 이용하여 동일한 공정으로 의료방사선 차폐시트를 제작하여 시트 단면의 입자 구성과 차폐성능을 비교하였다. 비교 결과 순수 텅스텐, 탄화텅스텐, 산화 텅스텐 순으로 차폐성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
