FAQs of Ammonium Molybdate
Q: What are the main physical and chemical properties of ammonium molybdate?
A: Ammonium molybdate is a white crystalline powder with the following main physical and chemical properties: soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol. Stable under dry conditions but decomposes at high temperatures. The melting point is about 115°C (decomposition). Density about 2.2 g/cm³. Ammonium molybdate dissociates in water to ammonium and molybdate ions and is weakly basic. It can react with acids to form the corresponding molybdates.
Q: What are the main applications of ammonium molybdate in industry?
A: Ammonium molybdate is used as a catalyst, especially in petroleum refining and chemical synthesis for hydrogenation, desulphurization and oxidation reactions. Ammonium molybdate is an important raw material for the production of molybdenum-based alloys, which have a high melting point, high strength and good corrosion resistance and are widely used in high-temperature materials and specialty steels. Ammonium molybdate can be used to prepare high-temperature resistant coatings and pigments to improve the heat resistance and chemical stability of materials. Ammonium molybdate can be used as a trace element fertilizer to supplement the molybdenum required by plants to promote plant growth and increase yield. Ammonium Molybdate is a common reagent used in laboratories to detect and analyze the molybdenum content of samples.
Q: What are the applications of ammonium molybdate in environmental protection?
A: Ammonium molybdate can be used to treat wastewater containing heavy metal ions by removing the harmful metal ions from the water through the formation of insoluble molybdate precipitates. Ammonium molybdate can be used as a catalyst for the purification of harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from industrial exhaust gases. Ammonium molybdate can be used to remediate contaminated soil by providing molybdenum, which promotes the activity of microorganisms in the soil and accelerates the degradation of pollutants.
Q: What are the safety and precautions for ammonium molybdate?
A: Ammonium molybdate is toxic, and inhalation or excessive ingestion may result in symptoms of poisoning such as nausea, vomiting and headache. Ammonium molybdate is irritating to the skin and eyes. Immediately after contact, flush with plenty of water and seek medical help. It should be stored in a dry, ventilated environment away from sources of ignition and strong oxidizing agents. Waste ammonium molybdate should be disposed of properly in accordance with local environmental regulations to avoid pollution of the environment. Appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, masks and goggles should be worn during handling to minimize the risk of exposure.
