The Metal Profile for Molybdenum
Jan 19, 2020#0183;#32;Molybdenum produced as a byproduct of copper from copper porphyry deposits, like the Bingham Canyon deposit in Ut, is removed as molybdenum disulfate during flotation of the powder copper ore. The concentrate is roasted to make molybdic oxide, which can be put through the same sublimation process to produce molybdenum metal.
