4;ultrafine WC;hydrothermal method;reductive carbonization"/> 4 prepared by hydrothermal synthesis was used as raw material, and WC was obtained through the carbothermic reduction-carburization process. PbWO4 was used as the tungsten intermediate product to avoid the introduction of ammonia nitrogen reagent. The carbon reduction method can avoid the generation of water vapor and inhibit the growth of tungsten powder. Results show that more than 99.9wt% of W is extracted in the form of PbWO4 from the Na2WO4 solution under the conditions of initial pH value of 7.0, reaction temperature of 160 °C, and reaction time of 4.5 h. Then, the homogeneous mixture of W and C is obtained by the carbothermic reduction of PbWO4 at 950 °C for 3 h with the molar ratio of carbon:tungsten as 5. Pre-adding excessive carbon in the mixture can inhibit the agglomeration of tungsten powder. Subsequ-ently, the WC powder with particle size of about 60 nm is obtained by the carburization of the W and C mixture at 1200 °C for 6 h."/>
