EVALUATION OF MOLYBDENUM METAL PRODUCED BY THE TIN REDUCTION OF MOLYBDENUM DISULPHIDE

Abstract

A low carbon, low oxygen, low metallic impurity molybdenum disulfide reduced with tin in a pure hydrogen or inert gas atmosphere will yield molybdenum metal powder with lower interstitials than commercially available molybdenum produced by the hydrogen reduction of molybdenum oxide. A hydrogen system atmosphere or partial hydrogen inert gas atmosphere was found preferable to inert gasses higher quality metal could be produced from molybdenite containing carbon and oxygen species impurities. Exhausting hydrogen gas to atmosphere would be preferable to recycling in this process to preclude recycling gaseous impurities which may not be removed continuously in a gas purification system.
