Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method of producing low oxygen-content molybdenum powders by reducing molybdenum trioxide, which includes charging a first reducing agent and the molybdenum trioxide, which are in the direct contact with each other on a micro-sieve on an upper portion of a bracket in a body, charging a second reducing agent in the bracket under the micro-sieve, coupling the body with a cover to close the body, and performing a reduction reaction by raising an internal temperature of the body by performing the first reduction reaction due to direct contact between the first reducing agent and the molybdenum trioxide, and performing the second reduction reaction due to evaporation of the second reducing agent. The first and second reduction reactions are performed at a temperature in a range of 550° C. to 650° C., and a temperature in a range of 1000° C. to 1200° C., respectively.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of producing molybdenum powders having a particle size of 5 μm or less and an oxygen content of 3000 ppm or less by reducing molybdenum trioxide, the method comprising: charging a first reducing agent and the molybdenum trioxide on a micro-sieve, which is located on an upper portion of a bracket installed in a body, while the first reducing agent and the molybdenum trioxide are directly making contact with each other; charging a second reducing ag…
