Molybdenum is an important metal, widely used in aviation, automotive and chemical industries. However, molybdenum wastewater discharge will have a negative impact on the environment, so it is particularly important to develop efficient molybdenum removal technology. Molybdenum element in wastewater can be effectively extracted by combined extraction centrifugal extractor.



Environmental properties of molybdenum


Molybdenum is mainly found in water in the form of molybdate (MoO₄²⁻). The excessive presence of molybdenum can cause the growth of aquatic organisms to be inhibited and may pose a threat to human health. Therefore, removing molybdenum from wastewater is an important task to protect the water environment.


Working principle of combined extraction centrifugal extractor

The combined extraction centrifugal extractor realizes the efficient separation of molybdenum ions in wastewater by centrifugal force. The specific operation steps are as follows:


1. Waste water feeding: the waste water containing molybdenum is imported into the equipment.

2. Centrifugal separation: In high-speed rotation, molybdenum ions settle to the bottom due to relatively large density.

3. Precipitation collection: The precipitation is collected regularly through a special collection system to facilitate subsequent treatment.



Optimized extraction conditions

Key parameters to improve molybdenum extraction efficiency include:


1. Centrifugal speed: It is recommended to be between 3000-6000 rpm to improve the settling speed of molybdenum.

2. Processing time: Appropriate extension of processing time can usually improve the extraction rate of molybdenum, the recommended time is 15-25 minutes.

3. pH adjustment: The separation effect of molybdenum is better under acidic conditions.




Molybdenum follow-up treatment and resource recovery


The molybdenum precipitates after extraction can be recovered by roasting, chemical treatment and other methods, and the reuse of molybdenum can not only reduce the environmental burden, but also provide raw material protection for related industries.


The application of combined extraction centrifugal extractor to extract molybdenum from wastewater provides an efficient solution for environmental protection and resource reuse, and has a good market prospect.
