About molybdenum; articles thereof, including waste and scrap, powders

hs code 810210 covers molybdenum and articles made from molybdenum, including waste, scrap, and powders. Molybdenum is a rare and valuable metal with a wide range of industrial applications. It is known for its high melting point, strength, and resistance to corrosion, making it an essential material in various manufacturing processes and high-performance applications. The molybdenum industry plays a crucial role in supporting the growth and development of sectors such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and construction.

Production process

Molybdenum is primarily extracted from molybdenite ore through a process called roasting and chemical processing. The ore is first crushed and concentrated, then roasted to remove impurities. The resulting molybdenum trioxide is then reduced to pure molybdenum metal through a series of chemical reactions. Molybdenum can also be recycled from scrap and waste materials, contributing to the sustainability of the industry.

Production inputs

The production of molybdenum and molybdenum-based products requires several key inputs, including molybdenite ore, reducing agents, and specialized equipment such as furnaces, mills, and chemical processing units. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in mining, metallurgy, and chemical engineering to ensure efficient and safe production processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of hs code 810210 include pure molybdenum metal, molybdenum alloys, and molybdenum-containing products such as catalysts, lubricants, and refractory materials. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 840120 Turbojets, 840310 Spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines, 841182 Turbines; other gas turbines, of a power exceeding 5,000 kW, and 854511 Electrodes; carbon, for electric furnaces.
