Abstract
The study of methods for extracting molybdenum into solutions from industrial ores and concentrates is an important task in the mining and metallurgical industry. Molybdenum (Mo) is used in the production of steel, alloys, electrode materials, and catalysts. The purpose of this work is to increase the efficiency of decomposition of molybdenum-containing materials, reduce production and processing costs, and minimize environmental impact. The tasks include the development of new chemical and metallurgical processes for processing various ores and concentrates, involving their decomposition and the extraction of molybdenum into a solution. Methodology. The study used microwave autoclave decomposition methods and chemical decomposition (acidic and fusion). The composition of the solution was determined using the atomic absorption method. The novelty of the research lies in the use of isolated microwave autoclave decomposition, which combines high efficiency and environmental safety. Results and discussion. The study compared the results obtained by the method of acidic decomposition and fusion in an open system with those from microwave autoclave decomposition in a closed system. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. The results of acidic and autoclave decompositions were similar to each other, while the results of fusion showed increased metal contents. The values of decomposition methods for standard copper and molybdenum concentrates showed results of 0.1-2.4%, respectively. The values of acidic (0.8%; 0.98%) and autoclave (0.9%; 1.04%) decompositions for samples from Chirchik and Stepnogorsk concentrates yielded similar results. Conclusion. The results of the decomposition methods of the materials do not differ significantly from each other from a production or industrial point of view. The analysis results can be applied in practice or used as reference values for scientific research.
