Extraction of precious metal molybdenum

Molybdenum, a silvery-white, metallic substance, may be familiar to everyone. Molybdenum is not only an important metal element, but also widely used in various fields.
In modern society, molybdenum is widely used in the steel industry, chemical industry, nuclear energy industry, and aerospace. As an additive in the steel industry, molybdenum helps to improve the corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance of steel, making steel products more durable. In the chemical industry, molybdenum, as an important catalyst, is widely used in the production process of fuels, plastics, dyes, etc. In addition, in the nuclear energy industry and aerospace, molybdenum is also an indispensable element.
In addition to the above application areas, molybdenum has many other uses. For example, in the medical field, molybdenum is used to manufacture medical devices and drugs, such as heart stents, artificial joints, etc. At the same time, molybdenum can also be used to manufacture high-quality steel, cemented carbide, and catalysts.
The discovery of molybdenum can be traced back to 1806, but its practical application did not gradually rise until the early 20th century. Today, molybdenum has become one of the indispensable elements for the development of human society.
