Recovery of Molybdenum from Oxidized Ore
Table of ContentsLeachingCharcoal StrippingEvaporation and Crystallization The Climax ore body is basically a sulfide deposit capped by an oxidized zone. No secondary enrichment is present. As oxidation occurred the molybdenum from the molybdenite immediately reprecipitated in place with the iron minerals. The molybdenumbearing minerals in the oxidized zone were identified as geothite
