Abstract
We have investigated the preparation of molybdenum powders by reducing the oxide compounds MoO3, MgMoO4, and CaMoO4 with magnesium vapor at residual argon pressures in the range 5–20 kPa and temperatures in the range 700–800°C. Using the MgMoO4 and CaMoO4 compounds as precursors, we have obtained molybdenum powders with specific surface areas of up to 20 m2/g. The powders have a mesoporous structure. The reduction of the molybdenum compounds under such conditions was accompanied by separation of the reaction products due to the removal of magnesium oxide from the reaction zone.
