“…Currently, molybdenum is widely used in stainless steel, machinery steel, and chemical products, and numerous studies aimed at investigating the use of molybdenum in high-value-added processes such as semiconductor manufacturing and liquid crystal display (LCD) sputtering are being conducted. 1,2) Normally, molybdenum metal is obtained from molybdenite as follows. Molybdenite is oxidation-roasted to obtain molybdenum trioxide, which is refined by heating to 1,273 K in air and subjected to sublimation refining or wet treatment, which involves the formation of ammonium molybdate.…”
