  • Patent number: 5776264
    Abstract: Amorphous tungsten, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, iron and alloys thereof can be formed by reducing metal-containing compositions to form the elemental metal wherein the particle size of the elemental metal is less than about 80 microns. This is oxidized in an oxygen-starved environment containing less than 3% oxygen and an inert gas to slowly oxidize the elemental metal. By oxidizing the metal under these conditions, the normal exotherm occurring during oxidation is avoided. The slow oxidation of the metal continues forming an amorphous metal oxide. The amorphous metal oxide can then be reacted in a reducing environment such as hydrogen to form the amorphous elemental metal. This amorphous elemental metal can then be reacted with a carburizing gas to form the carbide or ammonia gas to form the nitride or hexamethylsilane to form the silicide. This permits gas/solid reactions. The amorphous metal can also be used in a variety of different applications.

  • Patent number: 4643884
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for removing potassium from relatively impure molybdenum trioxide. The process involves contacting the impure molybdenum trioxide containing greater than about 600 weight parts potassium per million with a first acid leach which consists essentially of nitric acid and ammonium nitrate at a temperature of at least about 50.degree. C. for a sufficient time and at above a 2 molar concentration of said nitric acid and an ammonium nitrate concentration of from about 1.5 to about 2 molar in said first acid leach to solubilize the major portion of the potassium and form a once leached molybdenum trioxide containing the remaining portion of the potassium which is separated from the resulting potassium containing acid leach and contacted with a second leach solution substantially similar to the first acid leach followed by separating the resulting twice leached molybdenum trioxide from the resulting potassium containing second leach.

  • Patent number: 4604266
    Abstract: Processes are described for preparing pure ammonium molybdate from impure roasted molybdenum concentrates. An aqueous solution of nitric acid and ammonium nitrate is contacted with impure molybdenum concentrate to solubilize a major portion of the impurities. The resulting molybdenum concentrate is digested in ammonium hydroxide under conditions that maximize iron precipitation and removal. The resulting ammonium molybdate solution is separated from the sludge and further purified by chelating cation exchange resin in the ammonium form.

  • Patent number: 4599224
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for recovering molybdenum from molybdenum disulfide. The process involves forming a slurry of the molybdenum disulfide in a solution of an alkali metal hydroxide, the amount of hydroxide being sufficient to react with at least a portion of the molybdenum disulfide to form an alkali metal molybdate and an alkali sulfate, heating the slurry in an oxidizing atmosphere at an elevated temperature and pressure and for a sufficient time to effect the conversion to the molybdate, and separating the pregnant liquor containing the molybdate from any residue. To the pregnant liquor is then added a sufficient amount of a hexamine to form a hexamine-molybdenum compound containing the major portion of the molybdenum, followed by adjusting the pH to from about 1.5 to about 3.8 to precipitate the major portion of the hexamine-molybdenum compound, and separating the compound from the resulting mother liquor.
