What Are The Classifications Of Molybdenum Ore
Jan 31, 2024
Molybdenum is a silvery-white metal that is hard and tough, has a high melting point and a high thermal conductivity, and does not oxidize with air at room temperature. As a transition element, it is extremely easy to change its oxidation state, and the color of molybdenum ions will also change with the oxidation state. With the development of China's molybdenum industry, the problems in China's molybdenum industry are becoming more and more prominent, and molybdenum ore is also divided into multiple varieties!
Single Molybdenum Ore
The main useful component of the ore (The main useful component refers to the main component of the ore that has economic value and can be extracted and utilized separately under the current technical and economic conditions.) For molybdenum, China's Liaoning Yangjiajianzi molybdenum mine, Shaanxi's Jinduicheng molybdenum mine, Henan's Luanchuan molybdenum mine, Ruyang molybdenum mine, as well as the United States of America's Climax mine and so on belong to a single molybdenum ore. In China, the reserves of single molybdenum ore only account for about 14% of the total national reserves.



Copper-molybdenum ore
Ores of pyromolybdenite and a variety of copper sulfide minerals symbiosis, such as China's Dexing Copper Mine, Baoshan Copper Mine, Xiaosigou Copper Mine, Linjiang Copper Mine, as well as Chile's Tispidaka, Canada's Hailanwali porphyry copper-molybdenum ores, and so on.
Tungsten and Molybdenum Ore
Molybdenite and tungsten ore coexist in the ore. In China with wolframite symbiosis of tungsten ore in Koon Keng tungsten ore, Wenshui tungsten ore, Dajishan tungsten ore, Xihuashan tungsten ore, etc.; and wolframite symbiosis of mines are Luanchuan molybdenum ore, persimmon tungsten and molybdenum ore, and so on.
Carbonaceous copper-molybdenum ore
The ore contains organic carbon and carbonaceous shale. Pyroxene molybdenite and carbonaceous siliceous shale symbiosis, this carbonaceous copper-molybdenum ore is black, dense, blocky, texture firm, carbon content of 2.94%, the density of 2.73g/m3, carbon is dispersed state exists, and does not combine with the minerals. Carbonaceous shale is composed of microcrystalline quartz, fine carbonaceous particles, a small amount of iron oxide, mud chlorite, carbon particle size of 0.0017 to 0.064. This ore is very common in foreign countries, such as Canada's Elan copper mine, China's Xuanhua copper - molybdenum mine, Jiangsu Jurong's copper - molybdenum copper mine, Anhui Tongling Jinkuling copper - molybdenum mine, Inner Mongolia Bainimiao copper - molybdenum mine, and so on, belong to this kind of ores.
