Molybdenum (Template:Pron-en mə-LIB-də-nəm, from the Ancient Greek Μόλυβδος molybdos, meaning lead),[9] is a Group 6 chemical element with the symbol Mo and atomic number 42. The free element, which is a silvery metal, has the sixth-highest melting point of any element. It readily forms hard, stable carbides, and for this reason it is often used in high-strength steel alloys. Molybdenum does not occur as the free metal in nature, but rather in various oxidation states in minerals. Industrially molybdenum compounds are used in high pressure and high temperature applications, as pigments and catalysts.

Molybdenum minerals have long been known, but the element was "discovered" (in the sense of differentiating it as a new entity from minerals salts of other metals) in 1778 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele. The metal was first isolated in 1781 by Peter Jacob Hjelm.

Most of molybdenum compounds have low water solubility, but the molybdate ion MoO2−
4 is soluble and will form if molybdenum-containing minerals are in contact with oxygen and water. Recent theories suggest that the release of oxygen by early life was important in removing molybdenum from minerals into a soluble form in the early oceans, where it was used as a catalyst by single-celled organisms. This sequence may have been important in the history of life, because molybdenum-containing enzymes then became the most important catalysts used by some bacteria to break into atoms the atmospheric molecular nitrogen, allowing biological nitrogen fixation. This, in turn allowed biologically driven nitrogen-fertilization of the oceans, and thus the development of more complex organisms. At least 50 molybdenum-containing enzymes are known in bacteria and animals, which are mostly involved with nitrogen fixation. Molybdenum is a required element for life in these higher organisms, though not in all bacteria.

Characteristics

Physical

In its pure form, molybdenum is silvery white metal with a Mohs hardness of 5.5. It has a melting point of 2,623 °C (4,753 °F); of the naturally occurring elements, only tantalum, osmium, rhenium, tungsten and carbon have higher melting points.[9] Molybdenum burns only at temperatures above 600 °C (1,112 °F).[10] It has one of the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion among commercially used metals.[11]

Isotopes

Main article: Isotopes of molybdenum

There are 35 known isotopes of molybdenum ranging in atomic mass from 83 to 117, as well as four metastable nuclear isomers. Seven isotopes occur naturally, with atomic masses of 92, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 and 100. Of these naturally occurring isotopes, only molybdenum-92 and molybdenum-100 are unstable.[12] All unstable isotopes of molybdenum decay into isotopes of niobium, technetium and ruthenium.[13]

Molybdenum-98 is the most abundant isotope, comprising 24.14% of all molybdenum. Molybdenum-100 has a half-life of about 1019 y and undergoes double beta decay into ruthenium-100. Molybdenum isotopes with mass numbers from 111 to 117 all have half-lives of approximately 150 ns.[12][13]

As also noted below, the most common isotopic molybdenum application involves molybdenum-99, which is a fission product. It is a parent radioisotope to the short-lived gamma-emitting daughter radioisotope technetium-99m, a nuclear isomer which is used in various imaging applications in medicine.[14]

Molybdenum is a transition metal with an electronegativity of 1.8 on the Pauling scale and an atomic mass of 95.94 g/mol.[16] It does not react with oxygen or water at room temperature. At elevated temperatures, molybdenum trioxide is formed:[17]

2 Mo + 3 O
2 → 2 MoO

Molybdenum has several oxidation states, the most stable being +4 and +6 (bolded in the table). The chemistry and the compounds show more similarity to those of tungsten than that of chromium. An example is the instability of molybdenum(III) and tungsten(III) compounds compared to the stability of the chromium(III) compounds. The highest oxidation state is common in the molybdenum(VI) oxide MoO3 while the normal sulfur compound is molybdenum disulfide MoS2.[18]

Molybdenum(VI) oxide is soluble in strong alkaline water, forming molybdates (MoO42-). Molybdates are weaker oxidants than chromates, but they show a similar tendency to form complex oxyanions by condensation at lower pH values, such as [Mo7O24]6− and [Mo8O26]4−. Polymolybdates can incorporate other ions into their structure, forming polyoxometalates.[19] The dark-blue phosphorus-containing heteropolymolybdate P[Mo12O40]3− is used for the spectroscopic detection of phosphorus.[20] The broad range of oxidation states of molybdenum is reflected in various molybdenum chlorides:[18]

The structure of the MoCl2 is composed of Mo6Cl84+ clusters with four chloride ions to compensate the charge.[18]

Like chromium and some other transition metals, molybdenum is able to form quadruple bonds, such as in Mo2(CH3COO)4. This compound can be transformed into Mo2Cl84− which also has a quadruple bond.[18]

The oxidation state 0 is possible with carbon monoxide as ligand, such as in molybdenum hexacarbonyl, Mo(CO)6.[18]

History

Molybdenite—the principal ore from which molybdenum is now extracted—was previously known as molybdena. Molybdena was confused with and often implemented as though it were graphite. Even when the two ores were distinguishable, molybdena was thought to be a lead ore.[11] In 1754, Bengt Qvist examined the mineral and determined that it did not contain lead.[21]

It was not until 1778 that Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele realized molybdena was neither graphite nor lead.[22][23] He and other chemists then correctly assumed that it was the ore of a distinct new element, named molybdenum for the mineral in which it was discovered. Peter Jacob Hjelm successfully isolated molybdenum using carbon and linseed oil in 1781.[11][24] For a long time there was no industrial use for molybdenum. The French Schneider Electric company produced the first molybdenum-steel armor plates in 1894. Until World War I, most other armor factories also used molybdenum alloys. In World War I, some British tanks were protected by 75 mm (3 in) manganese plating, but this proved to be ineffective. The manganese plates were then replaced with 25 mm (1 in) molybdenum plating. These allowed for higher speed, greater maneuverability, and, despite being thinner, better protection.[11] The high demand for molybdenum in World War I and World War II and the steep decrease after the wars had a great influence on prices and production of molybdenum.

Occurrence

The world's largest producers of molybdenum materials are the United States, China, Chile, Peru and Canada.[11][25][26] Though molybdenum is found in such minerals as wulfenite (PbMoO4) and powellite (CaMoO4), the main commercial source of molybdenum is molybdenite (MoS2). Molybdenum is mined as a principal ore, and is also recovered as a byproduct of copper and tungsten mining.[9] Large mines in Colorado (such as the Henderson mine and the now-inactive Climax mine)[27] and in British Columbia yield molybdenite as their primary product, while many porphyry copper deposits such as the Bingham Canyon Mine in Utah and the Chuquicamata mine in northern Chile produce molybdenum as a byproduct of copper mining. The Knaben mine in southern Norway was opened in 1885, making it the first molybdenum mine. It remained open until 1973.[28]

Molybdenum is the 54th most abundant element in the Earth's crust and the 25th most abundant element in the oceans, with an average of 10 parts per billion; it is 42nd most abundant element in the Universe.[10][11] The Russian Luna 24 mission discovered a molybdenum-bearing grain (1 × 0.6 µm) in a pyroxene fragment taken from Mare Crisium on the Moon.[29]

Production

The molybdenite is first heated to a temperature of 700 °C (1,292 °F) and the sulfide is oxidized into molybdenum(VI) oxide by air:[18]

2 MoS2 + 7 O2 → 2 MoO3 + 4 SO2

The oxidized ore is then either heated to 1,100 °C (2,010 °F) to sublimate the oxide, or leached with ammonia which reacts with the molybdenum(VI) oxide to form water-soluble molybdates:

MoO3 + 2 NH4OH → (NH4)2(MoO4) + H2O

Copper, an impurity in molybdenite, is less soluble in ammonia. To completely remove it from the solution, it is precipitated with hydrogen sulfide.[18]

Pure molybdenum is produced by reduction of the oxide with hydrogen, while the molybdenum for steel production is reduced by the aluminothermic reaction with addition of iron to produce ferromolybdenum. A common form of ferromolybdenum contains 60% molybdenum.[11][18]

Molybdenum has a value of approximately $30,000 per tonne as of August 2009. It maintained a price at or near $10,000 per tonne from 1997 through 2003, and reached due to increased demand a peak of $103,000 per tonne in June 2005.[30] In 2008 the London Metal Exchange announced that molybdenum would be traded as a commodity on the exchange.[31]

Applications

The ability of molybdenum to withstand extreme temperatures without significantly expanding or softening makes it useful in applications that involve intense heat, including the manufacture of aircraft parts, electrical contacts, industrial motors and filaments.[11][32] Molybdenum is also used in alloys for its high corrosion resistance and weldability.[10][25] Molybdenum contributes corrosion resistance to type 316 stainless steel by 'gettering' residual carbon, preventing the formation of chromium carbide at grain boundaries. Most high-strength steel alloys contain 0.25% to 8% molybdenum.[9] Despite such small portions, more than 43,000 tonnes of molybdenum is used as an alloying agent each year in stainless steels, tool steels, cast irons and high-temperature superalloys.[10]

Because of its lower density and more stable price, molybdenum is used instead of tungsten.[10] An example is the 'M' series of high-speed steels such as M2, M4 and M42 as substitution for the 'T' steel series. Molybdenum can be implemented both as an alloying agent and as a flame-resistant coating for other metals. Although its melting point is 2,623 °C (4,753 °F), molybdenum rapidly oxidizes at temperatures above 760 °C (1,400 °F) making it better-suited for use in vacuum environments.[32]

Other molybdenum based alloys have only limited applications. Because of the corrosion resistance against molten zinc, molybdenum and the molybdenum tungsten alloy (70%/30%) are used for piping, stirrers and pump impellers which come into contact with molten zinc.[33]

Molybdenum-99 is a parent radioisotope to the daughter radioisotope technetium-99m, which is used in many medical procedures.[34]

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is used as a solid lubricant and a high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) antiwear agent. It forms strong films on metallic surfaces and is a common additive to HPHT greases—in case of a catastrophic grease failure, thin layer of molybdenum prevents contact of the lubricated parts.[35] Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) is an electrically conducting ceramic with primary use in heating elements operating at temperatures above 1500 °C in air.[36]

Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) is used as an adhesive between enamels and metals.[22] Lead molybdate (wulfenite) co-precipitated with lead chromate and lead sulfate is a bright-orange pigment used with ceramics and plastics.[37]

Molybdenum powder is used as a fertilizer for some plants, such as cauliflower.[10] It is also used in NO, NO2, NOx analyzers in power plants for pollution controls. At 350 °C (662 °F) the element acts as a catalyst for NO2/NOx to form only NO molecules for consistent readings by infrared light.[38]

Biological role

The most important use of the molybdenum in living organisms is as a metal heteroatom at the active site in certain enzymes. In nitrogen fixation in certain bacteria, the nitrogenase enzyme, which is involved in the terminal step of reducing molecular nitrogen, usually contains molybdenum in the active site (though replacement of Mo with iron or vanadium is also known). The structure of the catalytic center of the enzyme is similar to that in iron-sulfur proteins, it incorporates a Fe4S3 and MoFe3S3 clusters.[39]

In March 2008, an evidence was reported for that a scarcity of molybdenum in the Earth's early oceans was a limiting factor in the further evolution of eukaryotic life (which includes all plants and animals) as eukaryotes cannot fix nitrogen and must acquire it from prokaryotic bacteria.[40][41][42] The scarcity of molybdenum resulted from the relative lack of oxygen in the early ocean. Oxygen dissolved in seawater helps dissolving molybdenum from minerals on the sea bottom.

Molybdenum cofactor (pictured) contains organic complex molybdopterin, which binds molybdenum through sulfur atoms.

Though molybdenum forms compounds with various organic molecules, including carbohydrates and amino acids, it is transported throughout the human body as MoO2−
4.[43] At least 50 molybdenum-containing enzymes were known by 2002, mostly in bacteria, and their number is increasing with every year;[44][45] those enzymes include aldehyde oxidase, sulfite oxidase and xanthine oxidase.[11] In some animals, the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid, a process of purine catabolism, is catalyzed by xanthine oxidase, a molybdenum-containing enzyme. The activity of xanthine oxidase is directly proportional to the amount of molybdenum in the body. However, an extremely high concentration of molybdenum reverses the trend and can act as an inhibitor in both purine catabolism and other processes. Molybdenum concentrations also affect protein synthesis, metabolism and growth.[43] These enzymes in plants and animals catalyze the reaction of in small molecules, as part of the regulation of nitrogen, sulfur and carbon cycles.[46]

Human body contains about 0.07 mg of molybdenum per kilogram of weight.[47] It occurs in higher concentrations in the liver and kidneys and in lower concentrations in the vertebrae.[10] Molybdenum is also present within human tooth enamel and may help preventing its decay.[48] Pork, lamb and beef liver each have approximately 1.5 parts per million of molybdenum. Other significant dietary sources include green beans, eggs, sunflower seeds, wheat flour, lentils and cereal grain.[11]

The average daily intake of molybdenum varies between 0.12 and 0.24 mg, but it depends on the molybdenum content of the food.[49] Acute toxicity has not been seen in humans, and the toxicity depends strongly on the chemical state. Studies on rats show a median lethal dose (LD50) as low as 180 mg/kg for some Mo compounds.[50] Although human toxicity data is unavailable, animal studies have shown that chronic ingestion of more than 10 mg/day of molybdenum can cause diarrhea, growth retardation, infertility, low birth weight and gout; it can also affect the lungs, kidneys and liver.[49][51] Sodium tungstate is a competitive inhibitor of molybdenum. Dietary tungsten reduces the concentration of molybdenum in tissues.[10]

Dietary deficiency in molybdenum from low soil concentration has been associated with increased rates of esophageal cancer in a geographical band from northern China to Iran.[52][53] Compared to the United States, which has a greater supply of molybdenum in the soil, people living in these areas have about 16 times greater risk for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.[54]

Copper-molybdenum antagonism

High levels of molybdenum can interfere with the body's uptake of copper, producing copper deficiency. Molybdenum prevents plasma proteins from binding to copper, and it also increases the amount of copper that is excreted in urine. Ruminants that consume high amounts of molybdenum develop symptoms including diarrhea, stunted growth, anemia and achromotrichia (loss of hair pigment). These symptoms can be alleviated by the administration of more copper into the system, both in dietary form and by injection.[55] The condition can be aggravated by excess sulfur.[10]

Precautions

Molybdenum dusts and fumes, as can be generated by mining or metalworking, can be toxic, especially if ingested (including dust trapped in the sinuses and later swallowed).[50] Low levels of prolonged exposure can cause irritation to the eyes and skin. Direct inhalation or ingestion of molybdenum and its oxides should be avoided.[56][57] OSHA regulations specify the maximum permissible molybdenum exposure in an 8-hour day as 5 mg/m3. Chronic exposure to 60 to 600 mg/m3 can cause symptoms including fatigue, headaches and joint pains.[58]
