Abstract The phase composition of partially-reduced products of ammonium paratungstate (APT) was investigated. The samples were prepared by reducing the APT in a H2 + N2/1∶29 volume ratio/atomosphere in the temperature range 610 to 860 K, and studied by means of chemical analysis, by X-ray diffraction analysis and by thermoanalytical methods. The reduction products can be described by the general formula of M xWO3−y+x/2 where M can be either H+ and/or NH 4 + . Products considered as tungsten bronzes (TB) can be formed in a fairly narrow temperature range. Another product, the so-called decomposed APT (DAPT) is a mixture of bronzes and of some other compounds characterized by y〈x/2 and considered as some intermediate phases between TB and tungstates.
