Molybdenum Processing. 1. Grinding. A grinding machine crushes rocks the size of footballs to the size of gravel, then uses a ball mill to further reduce the material to the size of cosmetic powder. 2. Flotation. In the flotation process, the ground ore/gangue powder is mixed with a liquid reagent and inflated.

Molybdenum (element #42, symbol Mo) is a metallic, lead-gray element, with a high melting point (4,730 degrees Fahrenheit). This is 2,000 degrees higher than the melting point of steel, and 1,000 degrees higher than the melting temperature of most rocks. Molybdenum was discovered by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1778, and was isolated and named by ...

Molybdenum. With its unique mechanical and chemical properties, molybdenum is an outstanding material that can meet the most exacting requirements. Because molybdenum possesses a very high melting point, a low thermal expansion, and a high level of thermal conductivity, it is used in many different industries. Molybdenum is a genuine all-rounder.

Molybdenum will float naturally with the copper but can be crowded in the froth by the copper mineralization and use of a moly collector (such as diesel oil, kerosene, refined oils, pine oil or xanthate ester) enhances its floatability. Further, because optimum moly flotation pH is at 7-8 while optimum copper selectivity is typically in the 9 ...

At 2,623 °C (4,753 °F), molybdenum has one of the highest melting points of all metal elements, while its coefficient of thermal expansion is one of the lowest of all engineering materials. Moly also has a low toxicity. In steel, molybdenum reduces brittleness as well as enhances strength, hardenability, weldability, and corrosion resistance.

The results of the flotation test show that at pH 2−11, the floatability of molybdenite fines in the presence of transformer oil is markedly better than that in the presence of kerosene and diesel oil. The addition of transformer oil, which enhances the floatability of molybdenite fines, promotes the aggregation of molybdenite particles.
