Smelting Method for Ferro Molybdenum:

Ferro molybdenum is primarily produced through the highly efficient metal thermal method, ensuring optimal outcomes and superior quality.
The fundamental raw material for smelting ferro molybdenum is molybdenite (MoS2). Prior to smelting, molybdenum concentrate typically undergoes oxidative roasting in a multi-hearth furnace, resulting in roasted molybdenum concentrate with a sulfur content reduced to less than 0.07%, guaranteeing superior purity and performance.
The intricate art of smelting ferro molybdenum is a testament to advanced metallurgical prowess, predominantly perfected through the external furnace method. This sophisticated process involves a robust cylindrical furnace, strategically stationed on a firm sand base for unwavering stability, and lined with high-grade clay bricks to ensure optimal retention of performance quality. The charge, a carefully curated blend, comprises ferrosilicon with an impressive 75% silicon content, skillfully complemented by a modest yet effective amount of aluminum granules, celebrated for their proficiency as a reducing agent. The smelting process commences with the masterful top ignition technique, employing igniters such as saltpeter, aluminum shavings, or the vibrant magnesium shavings, meticulously applied to the charge's surface, culminating in a vigorous and controlled ignition. This dynamic phase is followed by a serene tranquility, which seamlessly transitions into the essential slag tapping, and finally, the meticulous removal of the furnace cylinder. The resultant ferro molybdenum ingots embark on a transformative journey, first cooling methodically in a sand pit, followed by an advanced water-cooling phase within a specialized chamber, culminating in their crushing and refinement, ensuring a premium quality product. The metal recovery rates are nothing short of impressive, ranging from an admirable 92% to an exceptional 99%. Recently, the innovative oxygen molybdenum briquettes have surged in popularity, hailed as a superior and sustainable substitute for traditional ferro molybdenum in the ever-evolving steelmaking industry.
