 | Questions And Answer | Back Directory |  | [Description] 
 Ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate (also referred to as Ammonium heptamolybdate, chemical formula: (NH4)6Mo7O24)), appearing as a colorless solid. It can be manufactured through dissolving the molybdenum trioxide in excess amount of aqueous ammonia and evaporating the solution at the room temperature. It has many applications, e.g. as an analytic reagent for measuring content of phosphates, silicates, arsenates and lead; for the production of molybdenum metal and ceramics; for the production of dehydrogenation and desulphurization catalysts; for the fixing of metals; for electroplating; supplement in the crop fertilizer; as a negative stain in biological electron microscopy; as an analgesic in medical fields.

 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  | [Chemical Properties] 
 White, crystalline powder. Soluble in water; insoluble in alcohol. Nonflammable.
 |  | [Uses] 
 Determination of phosphates, arsenates, and lead.
 |  | [General Description] 
 
 Ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate (AMT) is a molybdenum salt. Study of its extraction from nickel-molybdenum (Ni–Mo) ore by direct hydrometallurgical method has been reported. Its degradation by combustion to form elemental molybdenum powder using metallic reducers has been investigated. |  | [Hazard] 
 Irritant.
 |  | [reaction suitability] 
 reagent type: catalyst
 core: molybdenum
 |  | [Toxics Screening Level] 
 The screening level for the elemental molybdenum and insoluble molybdenum compounds is 30 μg/m3, while the screening level for soluble molybdenum compounds is 5 μg/m3 based on an 8 hour averaging time.
