Oxidation of bulk samples of tungsten (923 K) and zirconium (773 and 873 K) by supercritical fluid Н20/С02 (molar ratio [CO2]/[H2O] = 0.17—0.26) at about 300 atm is studied. The formation of monoclinic WO3, monoclinic W19O55, monoclinic ZrO2, gaseous H2, CO, CH4, as well as amorphous carbon (on the surface of tungsten oxide), is observed. Certain differences in oxidation of tungsten and zirconium are revealed. Oxidation of tungsten with CO2 starts only after oxide formation in reaction with H2O. Zirconium samples can be oxidized fully, whereas oxidation of tungsten terminates due to the formation of the protective oxide layer on metal surface.
