The use and demand of Molybdenum is growing at an industrial level. The Molybdenum Chemical manufacturers in Kenya and Molybdenum Chemical supplier in Kenya like Palvi Chemicals is becoming a global player in the Molybdenum market offering best quality molybdenum. Yet end users are still uncertain about the definition and application molybdenum. To help them and for improved understanding, here is summarizing a brief idea about Molybdenum in this blog along with definition and application by Palvi Chemicals.

Molybdenum is a kind of metal first discovered in the year 1778.
Molybdenum minerals were discovered much prior to that. It is a free silver color metal on earth with 6th highest melting point (among metals). Molybdenum is particularly used in the production process of steel alloys, high-strength alloys and superalloys. AT industrial level, Molybdenum is used production process of pigements and catalysts that need both high pressure and high temperature. Among commercially used metals, Molybdenum has lowest coefficient of thermal expansion.

Molybdenum has 35 kinds of isotopes among which 4 are nuclear metastable isomers confirms Palvi Chemicals who is also a Molybdenum Chemicals distributor in Kenya, Molybdenum chemicals exporter in Nigeria and Molybdenum chemicals exporter in Kenya.

Some of the popular applications of Molybdenum at industrial level are in the manufacturing process of fertilizers, for pollution control in power plants, catalyst in manufacturing NO molecules, substitute of tungsten in low voltage x-ray, to grow technetium 99m for medical imaging, in solid lubricant manufacturing process and as anti-wear agent.

Some of the popular types of Molybdenum are as follows:

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)

Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2)

Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3)

Lead molybdate (wulfenite)

Molybdenum-based mixed oxides

Ammonium heptamolybdate

Molybdenum coated soda lime glass

Phosphomolybdic acid
