Product Description
Ammonium Molybdates Tetrahydrate (CAS 12054-85-2)
High-Purity Molybdenum Source

Ammonium molybdates tetrahydrate, with the chemical formula (NH₄)₆Mo₇O₂₄·4H₂O and CAS registry number 12054-85-2, is a vital inorganic salt and primary source of molybdenum. It appears as colorless or slightly yellow-green crystalline powder, highly soluble in water. This compound is an essential precursor in the chemical industry, serving as a catalyst, corrosion inhibitor, fertilizer additive, and key raw material for producing molybdenum metal and other molybdenum compounds. Its consistent quality and reactivity make it indispensable for industrial and research applications.

Product Functions
  • Molybdenum Source: Provides bioavailable molybdenum for fertilizers and animal feed.
  • Catalyst & Catalyst Precursor: Used in petroleum refining, hydrodesulfurization (HDS), and chemical synthesis.
  • Corrosion Inhibitor: Effective in closed-circuit water treatment systems for ferrous metals.
  • Analytical Reagent: Essential in laboratories for phosphate/silicate determination and as a staining agent in microscopy.
  • Precipitating Agent: Used in the production of pigments (e.g., molybdenum red) and other metal molybdates.
  • Flame Retardant & Smoke Suppressant: An additive in plastics, paints, and textiles.

Application Areas
  • Agriculture: As a micronutrient fertilizer to correct molybdenum deficiency in crops like legumes, crucifers, and citrus.
  • Chemical Manufacturing: A key raw material for producing molybdenum trioxide (MoO₃), molybdenum metal, and other molybdenum salts.
  • Petrochemical Industry: A crucial catalyst component for desulfurization and hydrogenation processes.
  • Water Treatment: Used as a non-chromate, environmentally friendlier corrosion inhibitor in cooling systems.
  • Pigments & Ceramics: For manufacturing high-stability, colored pigments (e.g., molybdates orange/red) and ceramic glazes.
  • Electroplating: For depositing molybdenum-containing alloy coatings.
  • Laboratory & Research: As a standard reagent in analytical chemistry and material science research.

Manufacturing Process

Our high-purity Ammonium Molybdates Tetrahydrate is manufactured through a controlled process:

  1. Raw Material Leaching: High-grade molybdenum concentrate (MoS₂) is roasted to produce technical molybdenum trioxide (MoO₃).
  2. Purification: The crude MoO₃ is dissolved in an ammonium hydroxide solution, forming ammonium molybdates.
  3. Crystallization: The solution undergoes precise evaporation and cooling under controlled conditions to crystallize the tetrahydrate form.
  4. Filtration & Washing: The crystals are separated, washed with high-purity water to remove impurities like chlorides and sulfates.
  5. Drying & Sieving: The product is gently dried at a controlled temperature to preserve the hydrate structure, then sieved to ensure uniform particle size.
  6. Quality Control: Every batch undergoes rigorous analysis (ICP, AAS, titration) to confirm compliance with specifications before packaging.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: What is the difference between ammonium molybdates and ammonium heptamolybdates tetrahydrate?
A: They refer to the same common compound. The systematic name is ammonium heptamolybdates tetrahydrate, but it is widely known and sold as ammonium molybdates tetrahydrate (CAS 12054-85-2).
Q2: How should this product be stored?
A: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of moisture and CO₂ from the air, which can affect solubility and purity.
Q3: Is it hazardous?
A: It is generally considered a low-hazard substance but can cause eye and skin irritation. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and goggles.
Q4: Can you supply this product in different grades?
A: Yes. We supply various grades, including Technical Grade, Reagent Grade (ACS), and Agriculture Grade. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
Q5: What is the typical packaging?
A: We offer flexible packaging: 25 kg bags (kraft paper with PE liner), 50 kg drums (HDPE), or customized packaging to meet your logistical needs.
Q6: What is the lead time for orders?
A: For standard grades, we often have ready stock. Lead times vary based on order quantity and customization. Contact our sales team for an accurate timeline.
