The invention discloses a
hydrogen reduction method for improving the reduction efficiency of
molybdenum powder, which comprises the following steps: preparing
molybdenum dioxide subjected to primary reduction into
molybdenum dioxide
fine powder of which the particle size is not greater than 8 microns, and / or increasing the
apparent density of the
molybdenum dioxide subjected to primary reduction to 1.5-2.0 g / cm < 3 >; loading the obtained
molybdenum dioxide into a porous boat; putting the porous boat filled with
molybdenum dioxide into a reduction furnace; closing the reduction furnace, heating the reduction furnace, and introducing
hydrogen while heating;
water vapor in the reduction furnace is extracted in a
pulse mode; and opening the reduction furnace, and taking out the reduced molybdenum
powder. By changing the morphology of molybdenum dioxide, the
apparent density of molybdenum dioxide is improved, the secondary reduction loading amount is increased, the loading amount is increased by 30-50%, the single-furnace yield is remarkably increased, the secondary reduction process is optimized, the
mass transfer efficiency of
hydrogen permeation and
water vapor overflow is enhanced, the reaction time is shortened, the hydrogen
utilization rate is increased by 20% or above, and the reduction time is shortened by 15-25%; the molybdenum
powder has uniform particle size (D90 < = 5 microns) and
oxygen content < = 0.1%.
