Molybdenum; waste and scrap

HS v2022 Code: 810297

About molybdenum; waste and scrap

HS code 810297 covers molybdenum, a rare and valuable metal with a wide range of industrial applications. Molybdenum is a key component in the production of steel, chemicals, and various high-performance alloys. It plays a crucial role in the global economy, contributing to the manufacturing of essential products across diverse sectors, from construction and transportation to electronics and energy production.

Production process

Molybdenum is primarily extracted from molybdenite, the most common molybdenum-containing mineral. The production process typically involves mining, crushing, and concentrating the ore, followed by roasting and chemical processing to extract the pure metal. Advanced techniques, such as hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical methods, are employed to refine and purify the molybdenum for various end-uses.

Production inputs

The production of molybdenum requires access to molybdenite-rich ores, as well as specialized mining and processing equipment. Energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, are also essential inputs for the various stages of the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in mining, metallurgy, and chemical engineering.

Production outputs

Molybdenum is a versatile material with a wide range of applications. It is used in the manufacture of 720810 alloy steel, 840120 turbines, and 854011 electrical components, among other products. The waste and scrap generated during the production and processing of molybdenum can be recycled and reused, contributing to the circular economy.
