Oxide Powder

Molybdenum trioxide powder is a chemical compound with the formula of MoO₃ and it is an intermediate in the fabrication of molybdenum metal and it is also an indispensable industrial catalyst. Molybdenum trioxide occurs as the rare mineral molybdite and it is employed to manufacture molybdenum metal, which serves as an additive to steel and corrosion-resistant alloys. Molybdenum is a remarkable catalyst in the refining of petroleum. It acts as a filament material in electronic and electrical applications. Molybdenum is a crucial trace element in plant nutrition

Molybdenum trioxide powder: It is also a component of the co-catalyst utilized in the industrial production of acrylonitrile by the oxidation of propane and ammonia. Because of its layered structure and MoO₃ is of interest in electrochemical devices and displays. Molybdenum trioxide has also been considered as a potential anti-microbial agent, for instance in polymers. In contact with water, it forms H⁺ ions that can kill bacteria effectively.

Molybdenum trioxide powder is employed in certain nickel-based alloys, such as the "Hastelloy (R)" which are heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant to chemical solutions. It easily oxidizes at elevated temperatures. This metal has found recent applications as electrodes for electrically heated glass furnaces and foreheads. The metal is also applied in nuclear energy applications. It is also employed for missile and aircraft parts.

Molybdenum trioxide powder is a remarkable catalyst in the refining of petroleum. It acts as a filament material in electronic and electrical applications. Molybdenum is a crucial trace element in plant nutrition. Some lands are barren for lack of this element in the soil. Molybdenum sulfide is valuable as a lubricant, especially at high temperatures where oils would decompose.

Molybdenum trioxide powders are utilized in circuit inks for circuit boards, in microwaves devices and heat sinks for solid-state devices. Other uses for molybdenum involve catalysts for the petroleum industry, pigments, and electrodes. Molybdate-based pigments are employed for two properties: stable color formation and corrosion inhibition. They are light and heat-stable pigments with colors from bright red-orange to red-yellow. It is employed in plastic and rubber products, and ceramics.
