8. Processing of molybdenite concentrates

8.1 Pyrometallurgy

In all cases, the molybdenite concentrate is roasted to produce molybdenum trioxide, MoO 3 , which is then used to manufacture all marketable products (Figure 5 ). The impurities remaining in the roasted product are highly undesirable, particularly residual sulfur, copper, and lead. Consequently, it is necessary to purify technical molybdenum oxide to obtain a high-purity oxide.
