Aqueous oxidation of organic molybdenum compounds

摘要

Molybdenum oxides are recovered from an organic solvent solution of organic molybdenum compounds by adding the organic solvent solution to water and reacting the organic molybdenum compounds therein with oxygen under pressure to convert the organic components of the organic molybdenum compounds to carbon dioxide and water and to convert the molybdenum components to molybdenum oxides, and to form an aqueous solution of molybdenum oxides from which the molybdenum oxides can be recovered.
