Usage
Water Treatment – The Largest Application:
It acts as a passivating inhibitor. The molybdate ion forms a protective, self-healing layer of iron-molybdate complexes (e.g., Fe₂(MoO₄)₃) on metal anodes, blocking corrosion sites.
Agriculture – Micronutrient Fertilizer:
Converts nitrates to ammonium within the plant (essential for nitrogen assimilation). Used by rhizobia bacteria in legume root nodules to fix atmospheric nitrogen.
Animal Nutrition – Feed Additive:
Molybdenum is a component of key metabolic enzymes in animals, such as xanthine oxidase (involved in uric acid formation and protein metabolism).
Industrial & Chemical Manufacturing:
The starting material for producing various insoluble molybdates.
Laboratory & Analytical Chemistry:
Used in classical "molybdenum blue" methods for the colorimetric determination of phosphate, silicate, and arsenate ions.
