| Abstract: | A study was made of the United States Bureau of Mines' electro-oxidation process for the recovery of molybdenum from molybdenite. The investigation sought to determine operating conditions which would minimize by-product chlorate formation and the resulting loss in current efficiency. Such minimization would contribute to making the process economically attractive.It has been shown that a continuous flow-through graphite cell process produces less chlorate than either graphite or lead anode batch operations during the electro-oxidation of molybdenite at low temperatures, approximately 30°C. |
