Ammonium Molybdate(CAS: 12027-67-7)

Ammonium molybdate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula (NH4)2MoO4. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and commonly used as a source of molybdenum in various applications. It has a high melting point and is typically stable under normal conditions.

Ammonium molybdate is used in the production of molybdenum-containing catalysts, as a precursor in the synthesis of other molybdenum compounds, and in analytical chemistry for molybdenum detection. It also finds applications in the pharmaceutical industry and as a nutrient supplement in animal feed.

Ammonium molybdate is generally considered safe when handled properly, but it can be harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or comes into contact with skin. Safety precautions include wearing protective gear and following standard chemical safety protocols. It is classified as a potential irritant and should be used in well-ventilated areas.

Ammonium molybdate should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from moisture and direct light. It is best kept in a sealed container to prevent contamination and degradation. Storage conditions should maintain a temperature below 25°C and humidity levels below 60% for optimal stability.
