Description
Ammonium Molybdate Product Overview
Ammonium molybdate usually comes as ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate ((NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O, CAS 12054-85-2), a white to slightly greenish crystalline powder that dissolves easily in water. It also contains at least 81% molybdenum trioxide (MoO3).
Catalyst producers use it to impregnate supports for cobalt-molybdenum and nickel-molybdenum hydrotreating catalysts, which refineries then activate with sulfiding agents such as Dimethyl Disulfide. Similarly, fertilizer producers use it as a soluble molybdenum source for legumes and brassicas, and water treatment companies add it to corrosion inhibitor packages.
Furthermore, in laboratories, it is the classic reagent for phosphate and silicate determination. It also serves as a raw material for molybdenum pigments, ceramics and high-purity molybdenum metal. Related molybdenum compounds in our range also include Molybdic acid and Molybdenum(VI) oxide.
