Component Specifications

Definition
Reduction byproducts are the solid, liquid, or gaseous residues formed during the thermochemical reduction of molybdenum oxides with carbon or silicon in the production of high-purity ferromolybdenum master alloy. These byproducts include slag, dust, and off-gases containing impurities like silica, alumina, calcium oxide, and trace elements removed from the molybdenum source materials.
Working Principle
During the reduction process at temperatures between 1600-2000°C, molybdenum oxides (MoO3, MoO2) react with reducing agents (carbon, silicon) to form metallic molybdenum. Impurities present in the raw materials form separate phases that are either collected as slag (silicate-based) or emitted as dust/off-gases, resulting in cleaner ferromolybdenum alloy.
Materials
Primarily composed of SiO2 (30-50%), Al2O3 (10-25%), CaO (5-15%), FeO (3-10%), with trace amounts of phosphorus, sulfur, and volatile metals. Physical form varies from granular slag to fine particulate dust.
Technical Parameters
  • Mo_content <2%
  • Bulk_density 1.2-1.8g/cm³
  • Melting_point 1200-1450°C
  • Particle_size 0.1-10mm
Standards
ISO 4503, ASTM E1019
