Ammonium molybdate is obtained by processing molybdenum metal through various chemical processes. This process involves grinding molybdenum ore, mixing it with sulfuric acid and then neutralizing it with ammonia.
Areas of Use:
Chemical Industry: Ammonium molybdate is used as a reagent in chemical analysis and laboratory work. It is also used in the production of metal coatings and in the metalworking industry.
Agriculture: Ammonium molybdate is used as a fertilizer to meet the molybdenum requirement of plants. Molybdenum is an essential microelement for the healthy growth and development of plants.
Electroplating Used for coating and protecting surfaces in the metal coating industry. It is especially used in the production of chrome coatings.
Steel Production: It is used in the steel industry to improve steel structure and steels containing molybdenum can be more durable and harder.
