The abandoned stone produced in the process of uranium mining in Zhangjiakou area of China is basically low-grade single molybdenum ore. The average content of molybdenum in single molybdenum ore abandoned stone is 0.25%. Molybdenum is an extremely important strategic metal, which is widely used in the manufacturing of advanced materials and products such as high-strength alloy steel, high-corrosion-resistant stainless steel, high-wear-resistant tool steel, high-temperature-resistant special steel, high-temperature alloy, catalyst, back electrode, heating body, lubricant, etc. It is related to many fields such as high-end manufacturing, aerospace, energy conversion, chemical industry, electronic information and national defense industry. Therefore, extracting and recovering molybdenum from single molybdenum ore abandoned stone not only has extremely high economic benefits but also has significant environmental and social benefits.
