• Beschreibung

  Molybdenum is an essential trace mineral associated with several enzyme systems required for the normal body functions. Mine workers have developed symptoms of molybdenosis. The significantly expanding or softening property of the material makes it useful in applications that involve intense heat, including the manufacture of aircraft parts, electrical contacts, industrial motors, and filaments.

• Chemische Eigenschaften

  Molybdenum is a silvery-white metal or dark gray or black powder with a metallic luster.

• Physikalische Eigenschaften

  Molybdenum is in the middle of the triad elements of group 6. These three metals (fromperiods 4, 5, and 6) are chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten, which, in their pure states,are relatively hard, but not as hard as iron. They are silvery-white as pure metals, and they havesimilar oxidation states. Their electronegativity is also similar—Cr = 1.6, Mo = 1.8, and W =1.7—which is related to their reactivity with nonmetals.
  Molybdenum is malleable and ductile, but because of its relatively high melting point, it isusually formed into shapes by using powder metallurgy and sintering techniques.
  Molybdenum’s melting point is 2,617°C, boiling point = 4,612°C, and its density is 10.22g/cm³.

• Isotopes

  There are 36 isotopes of molybdenum, ranging in atomic weights from Mo-83to Mo-115. Of the seven isotopes considered stable, one (Mo-100) is radioactive and isconsidered stable because it has such a long half-life (0.95×10⁺¹⁹ years). The proportionsof the seven stable isotopes contributing to molybdenum’s natural existence onEarth are as follows: Mo-92 = 14.84%, Mo-94 = 9.25%, Mo-95 = 15.92%, Mo-96 =16.68%, Mo-97 = 9.55%, Mo-98 = 24.13%, and Mo-100 = 9.63%.

• Origin of Name

  Molybdenum is derived from the Greek word molybdos, meaning lead. At one time, the mineral molybdaena (later called molybdenite) was believed to be a variety of lead ore.

• Occurrence

  Molybdenum is the 54th most abundant element on Earth. It is relatively rare and is foundin just 126 ppm in the Earth’s crust. Its major ore is molybdenite (MoS₂), which is mined inColorado in the United States and is found too in Canada, Chile, China, England, Norway,Sweden, Mexico, and Australia. Moldybdenum is also found in two less important ores: wulfenite(PbMoO₄) and powellite ([Ca(MoW)O₄]. These ores are usually found in the same sitesalong with tin and tungsten ores.
  Molybdenite ore is very similar to graphite, and they have been mistaken for each otherin the past.

• Charakteristisch

  Given that molybdenum is located between chromium and tungsten in group 6, it chemicallyresembles a cross between these two partner elements. The three related elements donot occur as free elements in nature, but rather are found in minerals and ores. Their metal(elemental) radius size increases from chromium = 44 to molybdenum = 59 to tungsten = 60,which is related to their electronegativity and results in their using electrons in shells inside theouter shell during metallic bonding. This is a major characteristic of the transition of elementsfrom metals to nonmetals.
  Molybdenum oxidizes at high temperatures but not at room temperatures. It is insolublein acids and hydroxides at room temperatures. At room temperatures, all three metals(chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten) resist atmospheric corrosion, which is one reasonchromium is used to plate other metals. They also resist attacks from acids and strong alkalis,with the exception of chromium, which, unless in very pure form, will dissolve in hydrochloricacid (HCl).

• History

  Peter Jacob Hjelm (1746–1813) is given credit for discovering molybdenum in 1781despite the fact that his paper was not published until 1890. He followed the advice of CarlWilhelm Scheele (1742–1786), who isolated and identified molybdenum, but incorrectlythought it was an element related to lead.
  Although some reference works do give Scheele credit, most do not credit him for thediscovery of either molybdenum or the other elements he “discovered,” such as oxygen andmanganese.
  Scheele did not receive credit for discovering oxygen two years before Joseph Priestley(1733–1804) announced his discovery and was given the credit. Scheele’s publisher wasnegligent in getting his work published in time. (There is a lesson in this story for all youngscientists—keep completed and accurate records of all your lab work and observations, andwhen you are sure of your experimental results, make sure to publish.)
  The name “molybdenum” is derived from the Greek word for lead, molybdos, which standsfor any black minerals that historically could be used for writing. This also explains why theGreek word plumbago or “black lead” was used for graphite.

• Verwenden

  The high melting point of molybdenum is the major determinant of how it is used. Its chiefuse is as an alloy in the manufacture of engines of automobiles. “Moly-steel” contains up to8% molybdenum and can withstand high pressures and the relatively rapid changes of enginetemperatures (e.g. cold engine to hot and back again without the metal warping and with theability to withstand excessive expansion and contraction).
  Its high melting point also makes it useful for metal electrodes in glassmaking furnaces.Molybdenum’s high resistance to electricity makes it useful in high-temperature filament wiresand in the construction of parts for missiles, spacecrafts, and nuclear power generators.
  Molybdenum is also used as a catalyst in petroleum refining, as a pigment for paints andprinter’s ink, and as a high-temperature lubricant (molybdenum disulphide-MoS₂) for use byspacecraft and high-performance automobiles.
  In hospitals, radioisotope Mo-99, which decays into technetium-99, is given internally tocancer patients as a “radioactive cocktail.” Radioactive Tc-99 is absorbed by tissues of cancerpatients, and then x-ray-like radiation is used to produce pictures of the body’s internal organs.

• Verwenden

  Molybdenum is largely used in steel industry.Its compounds are widely used incoloring agents, solid lubricants and ascatalysts. Molybdenum is an essential traceelement and a component of xanthine oxidase.This enzyme catalyzes the formationof urate. Molybdenum cofactor (Moco)-deficiencyis a lethal autosomal recessive disease.Moco-deficiency in humans can causeneurological damage, seizures and variousbrain dysmorphisms.
  The sources of molybdenum include beans,dark green leafy vegetables, grains and hardtap water. Deficiencies of molybdenum arealmost unknown in human.

• Verwenden

  In the form of ferromolybdenum for manufg special steels for tools, boiler plate, rifle barrels, propeller shafts; electrical contacts, spark plugs, x-ray tubes, filaments, screens and grids for radio tubes; in the production of tungsten; glass-to-metal seals; nonferrous alloys; in colloidal form as lubricant additive.

• Vorbereitung Methode

  Molybdenum (Mo) is a dark gray or a black powder with a metallic luster and a chemical element of the second transition series. The name is derived from the Greek molybdos, meaning“lead.”In1778,CarlScheeleofSwedenrecognized molybdenite as a distinct ore of a new element, and in 1781 Hjelm prepared an impure form of the metal. The ?rst molybdenum mine, Knaben Gruver mine in southern Norway, was opened in 1885 and remained open until 1973. Today, the principal molybdenum mines are found in the United States, Chile, and China. Mined ore is crushed in ball or rod mills, and metallic minerals are separated from gangue by ?otation. The pure metal is prepared by the reduction of puri?ed molybdic trioxide or ammonium molybdate (AM) with hydrogen. When Mo is a by-product of copper mining, a concentrate ofcopperandmolybdenumis?rstproduced,andthetwoores are later separated by differential ?otation. MoS2 concentrates contain more than 85% MoS2 and roasted MoO3 typically contains a minimum of 57% Mo and less than 0.1% S.

• Allgemeine Beschreibung

  Molybdenum, a chemical element, is a hard, high-melting (refractory) high-density dark gray metal or black powder. Insoluble in water. Used to make structural alloys; used as a catalyst. Molybdenum dust and fumes can irritate the eyes and respiratory tract.

• Reaktivität anzeigen

  Molybdenum is a reducing agent. In dust or powder form, Molybdenum may present a fire or explosion hazard under favoring conditions of particle size, dispersion and ignition. Bulk Molybdenum (rod, coil, sheet, etc.) is less reactive than dust or powder. Insoluble in hydrochloric acid or hydrofluoric acid solutions and in ammonia and sodium hydroxide solutions. Insoluble in dilute sulfuric acid solutions but soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid. Soluble in concentrated nitric acid. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents such as bromine trifluoride, bromine pentafluoride, chlorine trifluoride, potassium perchlorate, nitryl fluoride, fluorine, iodine pentafluoride, sodium peroxide, lead dioxide.

• Hazard

  The powder and dust forms of molybdenum are flammable. The fumes from some of thecompounds should not be inhaled or ingested.

• Hazard

  Flammable in form of dust or powder.Lower respiratory tract irritant. Questionable car-cinogen.

• Health Hazard

  The toxicity of molybdenum in humans isconsidered to be low. Gout-like symptoms,hyperuricaemia and pneumoconiosis havebeen associated with excessive exposures.Selden et al. (2005) have reported a case ofhyperuricaemia and gouty arthritis in a youngman from occupational exposure to molybdenum.Momcilovic (1999) has cited a caseof acute clinical poisoning resulting from thedietary intake of molybdenum supplement ina male patient. A cumulative dose of 13.5 mgMo over a period of 18 days was attributed tocause acute psychosis with visual and auditoryhallucination and a series of petit malseizures. The symptoms decreased severalhours after the start of chelation therapy withcalcium ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid.However, 1 year after such Mo poisoning thepatient was diagnosed toxic encephalopathywith learning disability, depression, and posttraumaticdisorder. Spectral emission computertomography demonstrated evidence offrontal cortical damage of the brain.
  Vyskocil and Viau (1999) assessed molybdenumtoxicity in humans and calculated the‘tolerable daily intake’ (TDI), ‘no observedadverse effect level’ (NOAEL) and the ‘lowestobserved adverse effect level’ (LOAEL)for molybdenum intake. The authors havecalculated a TDI of 0.009 mg Mo/kg/dayand a NOAEL and LOAEL of 0.9 and1.6 mg Mo/kg/day respectively. Their toxicologicalrisk analysis was based on animaldata.
  Molybdenum toxicity has been found tobe associated with copper deficiency in thebody.
  Thus, any copper deficiency arising eitherfrom inadequate dietary intake or from somedysfunction in copper metabolism that woulddeplete its level may contribute to greaterrisk of molybdenum toxicity in humans.

• Landwirtschaftliche Anwendung

  Molybdenum (Mo) is a plant micronutrient, absorbed by the plant roots only in the form of molybdate ion MoO₄^2- Molybdenum, is a vital component of the enzyme, nitrate reductase (a soluble molybdoflavoprotein) in Molybdenum is present in the chloroplasts of leaves. It is also a structural component of nitrogenase which plays an active role in nitrogen fixation by Rhiwbium, Azotobucter and some algae and actinomycetes. Molybdenum is also involved in the absorption and translocation of iron in plants.
  Molybdenum is present in soils in extremely small quantities (about 2 ppm or less) which is adequate for plants. Its availability increases as the soil pH increases when the conversion of molybdenum oxide to molybdate is favored.
  The presence of aluminum, iron and titanium in soil increases the absorption of molybdenum. Nitrate nitrogen encourages molybdenum uptake, while ammoniacal nitrogen reduces it. A heavy application of phosphatic fertilizers increases the uptake of molybdenum while that of sulphates has the reverse effect. The addition of lime increases the availability of molybdenum. A dose of concentrated soluble manganese and/or copper reduces molybdate absorption by plants.
  When the molybdenum content of plants is less than 0.2 ppm, molybdenum deficiency occurs. The deficiency is determined by the ammonium oxalate extraction procedure. Acidic soils, fibrous peat soils and acidic sandy soils are generally molybdenum deficient. Molybdenum concentration is high at the soil surface, and decreases with depth; the deficiency is severe under dry soil conditions, probably owing to reduced diffusion or mass flow.
  Molybdenum deficiency resembles nitrogen deficiency in legumes, because of the role molybdenum plays in nitrogen fixation. The deficiency causes stunting and yellowing of plants. In legume crops, the deficiency manifests itself by marginal scorching, curling and crinkling of leaves, the first symptom being an interveinal chlorosis followed by the plant turning pale yellow and becoming stunted.
  Mo deficiency, manifested in cauliflower, is known as whiptail and that in cashew, the yellow leaf spot. The deficiency is most common in acidic sandy soils because of the leaching losses. Molybdenum availability is low in soils with high metal oxides. Cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and citrus fruits are sensitive to low molybdate levels. Cotton, leafy vegetables, corn, tomato and sweet potato are moderately sensitive to lower molybdate levels.
  Molybdenum deficiency also causes nitrate accumulation, thereby lowering the activity of ascorbic acid oxidase, known for activating enzymes, namely, nitrate reductase and xanthine oxidase.
  Molybdenum deficiency can easily be corrected by adding 40 to 400g Mo/ha to the soil. It can also be corrected by a foliar spray of sodium molybdate or molybdic acid, or by coating seeds with sodium molybdate before planting. Even a 0.03% foliar spray on cashews can correct the deficiency. Soil is limed to increase plant uptake of molybdenum.
  A trace of molybdenum as impurity in superphosphate is often adequate for plant growth. A material carrying at least 38% molybdenum, such as sodium molybdate, is employed to coat the seed, about 17 g/ha of which is used for legumes on molybdenumdeficient soils. Such seed treatment is the most practical way for augmenting the molybdenum content of the soil. Ammonium molybdate is recommended for potato at the rate of about 1 kg/ha for soil application, 0.5 kg in lo00 liters of water for sprays and 200 g for soaking seed tubers. A disease, called pencil point, in coconut can be cured with a 0.25 g/l of ammonium molybdate as a component of the fertilizer mixture.
  Many fertilizers contain molybdenum. The common ones are ammonium molybdate (54%), sodium molybdate (39%) and molybdenum trioxide (66%) - the figures in brackets indicating the molybdenum percentage. Among these, only ammonium molybdate i

• Industrielle Verwendung

  Molybdenum (Mo) is a silvery-white metal, occurring chiefly in the mineral molybdenite but also obtained as a by-product from copper ores. It is ductile, softer than tungsten, and is readily worked or drawn into very fine wire.
  Its major use is in alloy steels, for example, as tool steels ( 10% molybdenum), stainless steel, and armor plate. Up to 3% molybdenum is added to cast iron to increase strength. Up to 30% molybdenum may be added to iron-, cobalt-, and nickel-base alloys designed for severe heat- and corrosion-resistant applications. It may be used in filaments for lightbulbs, and it has many applications in electronic circuitry.
  Molybdenum forms mirrors and films on glass when it is produced by gas-phase reduction or decomposition of volatile molybdenum compounds in glass tubes. Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) dissolves in glass, allowing strong binding of molten glass with preoxidized metal surfaces. Annealing is very effective, with little or no difference in thermal expansion at the metal glass interface. Molybdenum found early use in filaments for electric lightbulbs and later in the construction of electronic devices (for example, in vacuum tubes, contacts, electrodes, and transistors).

• Sicherheitsprofil

  Poison by intratracheal route. Mutation data reported. An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. Flammable or explosive in the form of dust when exposed to heat or flame. Violent reaction with oxidants (e.g., bromine trifluoride, bromine pentafluoride. chlorine trifluoride, potassium perchlorate, nitryl fluoride, fluorine, iodine pentafluoride, sodium peroxide, lead dioxide). When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Mo.

• mögliche Exposition

  Most of the molybdenum produced is used in alloys: steel, stainless steel; tool steel; case iron; steel mill rolls; manganese, nickel, chromium, and tungsten. The metal is used in electronic parts (contacts, spark plugs, X-ray tubes, filaments, screens, and grids for radios); induction heating elements; electrodes for glass melting; and metal spraying applications. Molybdenum compounds are utilized as lubricants; as pigments for printing inks; lacquers, paints, for coloring rubber animal fibers, leather, and as a mordant; as catalysts for hydrogenation cracking; alkylation, and reforming in the petroleum industry; in Fischer Tropsch synthesis; in ammonia production; and in various oxidation-reduction and organic cracking reactions; as a coating for quartz glass; in vitreous enamels to increase adherence to steel; in fertilizers, particularly for legumes; in electroplating to form protective coatings; and in the production of tungsten. Hazardous exposures may occur during high-temperature treatment in the fabrication and production of molybdenum products, spraying applications; or through loss of catalyst. MoO3 sublimes above 800℃.

• Carcinogenicity

  Guinea pigs exposed to molybdenum trioxide dust at a concentration of 200mg molybdenum/ m3 for 1 hour daily for 5 days developed nasal irritation, diarrhea, weight loss, and incoordination. 3 In 2-year inhalation studies at concentrations of up to 100mg/m3 molybdenum trioxide there was no evidence of carcinogenic activity in female rats, but there was equivocal evidence in males based on a marginally significant positive trend of alveolar/bronchiolar adenoma or carcinoma (combined). There was some evidence of carcinogenic activity in mice based on increased incidences of alveolar/bronchiolar adenoma and carcinomas (combined).4 Other exposure-related effects in exposed animals included alveolar inflammation, squamous metaplasia of the epiglottis and hyaline degeneration of the respiratory and olfactory epithelium. Molybdenum trioxide was not mutagenic in bacterial assays, nor did it induce sister chromatid exchanges or chromosomal aberrations in vitro.

• Environmental Fate

  Molybdenum is a silvery-white transition metal in Group 6 between chromium and tungsten on the periodic table. It is mined as a principal ore, and is also recovered as a byproduct of copper and tungsten mining. Molybdenum does not react with oxygen or water at room temperature, and the bulk oxidation occurs at temperatures >790℃, resulting in molybdenum trioxide, MoO3. Other common molybdenum compounds commonly encountered include molybdenum trioxide, sodium molybdate, Na2MoO4.2H2O, and ammonium di- and heptamolybdate, (NH4)2Mo2O7, and (NH4)6Mo7O24.4H2O. In aqueous solution, molybdenum is present as the simple molybdate [MoO4]2- ion which is similar to sulfate or a polymeric polymolybdate ion. The lower oxidation state is found in the commonest ore of molybdenum the disulfide, MoS2. The majority of atmospheric molybdenum emissions are anthropomorphic sources such as its use in alloys, flame retardants, smoke oppressors, catalysts, lubricants, and corrosion inhibitors, and also by mining activities, the application of biosolids and fertilizers, and atmospheric deposition from smelters. Coal combustion is the largest atmospheric source of molybdenum. In water, molybdenum exists primarily as the molybdate ion or various polymeric compounds depending upon the pH. In soils, molybdate is sorbed primarily to high-calcium, highchloride soils with retention lesser in low-sulfate soils.
  The primary pathway for molybdenum exposure is ingestion by water or food. Molybdenum is found in leafy vegetables, legumes, meat, and many grains. Molybdenum does not appear to be absorbed dermally. Molybdenum dusts and fumes, which can be generated by mining or metalworking, may be inhaled. The concentrations of molybdenum in the ambient air are normally low compared with other trace elements; in urban areas, molybdenum ranged from 0.01 to 0.03 mg m^-3, and in nonurban areas it varied between 0.001 and 0.0032 mg m^-3. Fruits, root vegetables, and muscle meat are poor sources of molybdenum; however, high concentrations have been found in shellfish and fish, which contain about 1 mg kg^-1, and plants, which contain 0.03–5 mg kg^-1. Molybdenum levels in drinking water range from 0 to 68 μg l^-1, but usually do not exceed 10 μg l^-1. Bioconcentration in most fish appear to be exposure concentration dependent because it has been demonstrated that at low environmental concentrations, molybdenum is concentrated, whereas at high environmental concentrations it is not concentrated. Molybdenum levels are elevated in terrestrial flora near anthropomorphic sources such as mining, fossil fuel plants, and industrial waste sites. In these areas, the concentrations of molybdenum in fish, wildlife, and invertebrates were low when compared with those in terrestrial plants; therefore, there may be some bioconcentration occurring in the flora. In addition, aquatic flora and fauna seem to be comparatively resistant to molybdenum salts and this evidence further indicates a lack of bioaccumulation in fish. Molybdenum occurs naturally in soils at background concentrations ranging between 0.2 and 6 mg kg^-1, whereas metal-rich soils may contain 10–100 mg kg^-1.

• Toxicity evaluation

  Normally, enzymes containing molybdenum catalyze basic metabolic reactions in the carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen cycles. In plants, molybdenum acts as an enzyme activator for nitrogen metabolism via reactions with nitrogenase, a nitrate reductase. Consequently, molybdenum deficiency in legumes produces effects similar to nitrogen deficiency. In mammals, the types of reactions involving molybdenum-containing enzymes include the transfer of oxygen atoms to or from the electron pair of a substrate, and the oxidative hydroxylation of aldehyde and aromatic compounds. Molybdenum is an essential constituent of aldehyde oxidase, xanthine oxidase/ dehydrogenase, and sulfite oxidase, all of which catalyze oxidation–reduction reactions. Molybdopterin maintains the molybdenum atom to the active site of the protein in reactions of the sulfur and carbon cycles. A deficiency of molybdopterin has been associated with severe cerebral atrophy.
  Molybdenosis or teart is a form of molybdenum toxicity that produces a disease in ruminants similar to copper deficiency in which trithiomolybdate ultimately alters the distribution and elimination of copper. Signs of molybdenum toxicity in animals include anemia, anorexia, profound diarrhea, joint abnormalities, osteoporosis, hair discoloration, reduced sexual activity, and death.
  There is a paucity of data available on the human toxicity of molybdenum. A goutlike syndrome and pneumoconiosis have been associated with excessive concentrations of molybdenum, but the inadequate design of the studies prevents an adequate determination of the etiology of these effects.

• Inkompatibilitäten

  Metallic Mo is a combustible solid in form of dust or powder and is potentially explosive. Dust or powder may form explosive mixture with air. Soluble compounds: alkali metals; sodium, potassium, molten magnesium. Insoluble compounds: Violent reaction with oxidizers, nitric acid; sulfuric acid. Forms explosive mixture with potassium nitrate. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides.

• Waste disposal

  Recovery is indicated whenever possible. Processes for recovery of Molybdenum from scrap, flue dusts, spent catalysts and other industrial wastes have been developed.
