Uses

Industrial use: Potassium Molybdate is mainly used as a catalyst and flotation agent for metal ores. In petroleum processing and chemical production, it can be used for oxidation reactions and sulfidation reactions such as catalytic cracking and catalytic oxidation desulfurization, and is also used to extract molybdenum and copper from metal ores.
Agricultural use: It can be used as a molybdenum and potassium source for plants and soil, promote plant nitrogen metabolism and growth and development, and has a significant effect on the growth of beans and cruciferous crops. It can also enhance plant disease resistance and promote fruit development.
Medical use: It is used to prepare certain drug raw materials, and can also be used as a radioactive tracer for nuclear medicine examinations and for kidney excretion function examinations.
Other uses: It is used to prepare certain pigments and enamels, and can also be used as a colorant for glass and ceramics to give products specific colors and properties.
