1313-29-7 - Introduction

molybdenum sesquioxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula moO3. It is a yellow crystal or yellow powder, insoluble in water and capable of dissolving in alkaline solutions.

The polybdenum sesquioxide has many applications. First of all, it is an important catalyst that can be used in processes such as Oxidative Desulfurization, catalytic reforming and flue gas denitrification. Secondly, molybdenum sesquioxide can also be used in the manufacture of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), as well as in the production of photosensitive devices, glass colorants and electronic components.

There are many ways to prepare molybdenum sesquioxide. A common method is to react molybdate with a reducing agent, followed by filtration, washing and drying to obtain the product of molybdenum sesquioxide. In addition, molybdenum sesquioxide can also be prepared by reacting a metal or compound of molybdenum with oxygen.

When using and handling molybdenum sesquioxide, you need to pay attention to its safety information. molybdenum sesquioxide powder may cause irritation and damage to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract, so direct contact should be avoided. Appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and dust masks should be worn during operation. When molybdenum sesquioxide powder is swallowed or inhaled in large quantities, seek medical attention as soon as possible. At the same time, the molybdenum sesquioxide should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place to avoid contact with incompatible substances, such as strong acids, strong bases and oxidants.

To sum up, molybdenum sesquioxide has important catalytic and electronic applications. The preparation method mainly includes the reaction of molybdate with reducing agent or the reaction of molybdenum metal with oxygen, and attention should be paid to its safe use and storage.
