Abstract

The feasibility of reductive precipitation of molybdenum oxides for molybdenum recovery from hypochlorite leach solutions has been investigated. Hydrogen gas at elevated temperature and pressure and hydrazine hydrate were used as reductants. The results are interpreted in terms of the behavior of mixed valent molybdenum polyanions.
