Mo, Molybdenum Ore Mineral Analysis

Molybdenite, also known as molybdenum, is a soft black mineral that was once used to make pencils. This mineral is often mixed with graphite and was thought to contain lead. It is now known to be molybdenum disulfide. It was proved in the late 1700s that molybdenite was not graphite and lead-free. Nitric acid does not react with graphite, but molybdenite reacts with sulfuric acid and produces a white solid. This substance is molybdenum oxide or molybdenum oxide hydrate.

Molybdenum is generally a toxic element. Silver is a white metal with a high melting point. It is also resistant to corrosion at normal room temperature. Molybdenum is one of the five main refractory metals and has a very high resistance to heat and wear. Other refractory metals are tungsten, tantalum, rhenium and niobium. Molybdenum oxide dissolves in alkaline water and forms molybdate salts.

Molybdenum is generally used in small amounts to harden the steel. In addition, molybdenum is used when creating many alloys. Molybdenum is also preferred in critical areas such as nuclear power plants and aircraft engines, as molybdenum resists expansion and softening at high temperatures. It is also used as glass furnace electrodes as it has a high melting point.

In the oil industry, molybdenum is used to remove organic sulfur compounds during coal liquefaction and gas liquefaction processes.

Meanwhile, molybdenum is an important trace element for animals and plants. As with selenium, it contains a lot of toxic and a very small amount of it can be fatal.

Molybdenum is also found in about twenty enzymes needed in animal metabolism.
