The invention provides an extraction method of
molybdenum trioxide, and belongs to the technical field of extraction
metallurgy. The extraction method of
molybdenum trioxide provided by the invention comprises the following steps: carrying out vacuum melting on a
molybdenum-containing material to obtain a sublimate, and cooling the sublimate to obtain
molybdenum trioxide, the molybdenum content in the molybdenum-containing material is 37.42 to 46.31 wt%, and the
oxygen content in the molybdenum-containing material is 30.74 to 38.13 wt%; the temperature of vacuum melting ranges from 880 DEG C to 1200 DEG C, and the vacuum degree ranges from 0.47 Pa to 10 Pa; the
cooling rate of the cooling is 5-10 DEG C / min. According to the method, the molybdenum-containing material is subjected to vacuum melting,
molybdate in the molybdenum-containing material is decomposed to obtain
molybdenum trioxide, original
molybdenum trioxide of the molybdenum-containing material is sublimated under the high-temperature condition, high-purity molybdenum
trioxide is obtained through cooling, and the extraction efficiency of molybdenum trioxide is effectively improved; and the extraction method is simple, the low-grade molybdenum-containing material is used as the
raw material, the extraction cost is lower, and no
pollution is caused to the environment.
