Ferrous tungstate (FeWO₄) is an inorganic compound. It can be synthesized from iron(III) chloride and sodium tungstate under hydrothermal conditions with the presence of L-cysteine reduces Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺.^[1] Ferberite is composed of this compound.^[2]

Synthesis techniques

Hydrothermal process

The hydrothermal process is a method for synthesizing ${\ce {FeWO4}}$ crystals. Reagents used in this process are: - Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt ${\ce {(Na2EDTA)}}$ and Hexamethylenetetramine ${\ce {(HMT)}}$ . ${\ce {Na2EDTA}}$ helps in controlling the morphology of ${\ce {FeWO4}}$ crystals by binding to metal ions and preventing their premature precipitation and ${\ce {HMT}}$ acts as a pH buffer and a source of ammonia.^[3]
