Innovative Smelting Method for Ferro Molybdenum:

Ferro molybdenum is chiefly manufactured utilizing the highly efficient metal thermal method, ensuring optimal quality and results.
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 a roasted molybdenum concentrate with a sulfur content reduced to less than 0.07%, ensuring superior purity and performance.
Delve into the sophisticated realm of ferro molybdenum smelting, where precision and innovation converge in the external furnace method. Picture a sturdy cylindrical furnace, resolute on its sand foundation, meticulously lined with clay bricks for peak efficiency. The artful introduction of the charge, comprising 75% silicon ferrosilicon bolstered by aluminum granules as a masterful reducing agent, sets the stage for the process. A top-notch ignition technique springs to life with igniters like saltpeter or magnesium shavings gracing the charge's surface, catalyzing a vigorous ignition followed by a serene phase. The ritual of slag tapping ensues, culminating in the careful dismantling of the furnace cylinder. The born-again ferro molybdenum ingots luxuriate in a sand pit, undergo water cooling in a bespoke chamber, and are meticulously crushed and refined, embodying premium quality. Revel in the impressive metal recovery rates, soaring from 92% to 99%. The emergence of oxygen molybdenum briquettes heralds a new era, offering an exceptional alternative to ferro molybdenum in steelmaking.
