Langeloth Metallurgical Company

Concentrated ore (MoS2) , containing over 90% molybdenite, is converted to technical grade molybdic oxide (MoO3). The finished product contains less than 0.1% sulfur.

Technical Oxide                            

Pure Oxide is made from tech oxide in an electric furnace. Enough heat is added to sublime the technical grade molybdic oxide.

Technical grade molybdic oxide is mixed with a binder (either ammonia or carbon) and pressed into pillow briquettes, 1 1/2" x 1" x 3/4".

Technical Oxide—Briquettes

Langeloth Metallurgical Company uses molybdic oxide, ferrosilicon, aluminum, millscale, and some fluxing agents to produce a 60%/40% molybdenum/ferro alloy via a silicothermic reaction.

Ferromolybdenum       

Concentrated ore is subjected to additional processing in order to produce a lubricant grade molybdenum disulfide (99% MoS2).

High Performance Molybdenum—HPM

In 1986 LMC began processing a wide range of metal-bearing materials, such as spent catalysts, filter cakes and grindings, as ingredients to make a product without reclamation.
