History of molybdenum

Molybdenum is a rare and precious refractory metal, is an important strategic material, its application to increasingly penetrate all areas, and has broad prospects for development. Molybdenum is a Swedish chemist Scheele discovered in 1778, when you get molybdic acid with nitric acid decomposition of molybdenite him, and obtained molybdenum, molybdenum oxide system out of the same year. 1781, the Swedes Geyelimu carbon reduction obtained metal molybdenum trioxide. PJHjelm get pure metal in 1782 and named for molybdenum. 
 
According to historical records, the Chinese molybdenum mining discoveries and beginning of World War I on the eve of the Qing Dynasty (1909-1914), when the main mining is Fujian, Zhejiang and some vein-type molybdenum ore and southern China have some associated tungsten and molybdenum mine, but no industrial exploitation. Japan invaded China during 1935 in Liaoning Province, lead and zinc mining Yangjiazhangzi 100 tons / day, molybdenum be mistaken for low-grade lead-zinc mine and when the void abandoned, in 1940 the Japanese recognized as molybdenum, the 100 tons / day of lead and zinc and molybdenum processing plant to plant, the year 9080 tons of ore mined molybdenum, molybdenum concentrate output of 46 tons. Japan surrendered in 1945, the KMT took over in October 1948 the PLA Yangjiazhangzi second liberation, to resume production, and the establishment of Yangjiazhangzi Mining in April 10, 1949, is China Molybdenum Industry Yangjiazhangzi birth ground.
