Belonging to the technical field of
molybdenum metallurgy, the invention relates to a method for
microwave roasting of
molybdenite concentrate to produce high-purity
molybdenum oxide. The method includes: firstly conducting crushing and ball milling on
molybdenite concentrate, then spreading the crushed
molybdenite concentrate to a thickness of 1-4cm, and placing the product in a
microwave cavity; turning on a
microwave output switch, blowing in
compressed air, regulating the microwave output power, and carrying out pre-oxidation on the crushed molybdenite concentrate; heating the pre-oxidized molybdenite concentrate to a sublimation temperature and performing
thermal insulation for 30-60min, in the process, letting the
molybdenum trioxide steam generated by oxidizing
roasting overflow through a microwave reactor top, performing water-cooling and then conducting collection by a bag
dust collector, thus obtaining high-purity
molybdenum trioxide reaching the
nonferrous metal industry grade 2 standard. The method provided by the invention has the advantages of short technological process, low
energy consumption, and high product purity, etc.
