The maximum temperature at which molybdenum trioxide can be safely ignited without fear of appreciable loss by volatilization has been established as approximately 600°.Conditions and apparatus for accurately and conveniently converting molybdenum trisulfide to trioxide have been described.The use of oxidizing agents to aid the conversion of the sulfide to oxide is unnecessary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
