Ammonium Molybdate Manufacturer & Supplier in India

Ammonium Molybdate is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 1235.86 g/mol. It is 100% soluble in aqueous ammonia solution, which makes it ideal for bath preparation and solution-based industrial processes. The compound serves as one of the most commercially important sources of molybdate ions in industrial chemistry, bridging applications from petroleum refining catalysts to laboratory phosphate detection.

Beyond its role as a molybdate ion source, Ammonium Molybdate is used as a catalyst in Copper Phthalocyanine crude production, as an intermediate for manufacturing molybdenum trioxide and metal molybdenum powder, and as a process chemical in coal technology for dehydration and desulfurization. Our product is packaged in LDPE-lined HDPE bags for moisture protection during storage and transport, and can be supplied in bulk bags of up to 1 MT for large-volume industrial buyers.

What is Ammonium Molybdate Used For?

Ammonium Molybdate serves four distinct industrial sectors, each relying on its high molybdenum content and solubility in ammonia-based systems for critical process functions.

Catalyst Manufacturing

Catalyst in Copper Phthalocyanine Production

Ammonium Molybdate is used as a catalyst in the synthesis of Copper Phthalocyanine crude, a key intermediate in the manufacture of blue and green pigments widely used in inks, paints, plastics, and coatings. Its role as a molybdenum-based catalyst facilitates the cyclotetramerization reaction during CuPc synthesis, improving yield and product purity. Industrial pigment manufacturers in India and abroad rely on a consistent-purity Ammonium Molybdate to maintain stable batch-to-batch catalyst performance.

Analytical Chemistry

Source of Molybdate Ions & Analytical Reagent

In laboratory and industrial analytical chemistry, Ammonium Molybdate is a primary reagent for the detection and quantification of phosphates and silicates through the well-established molybdenum blue and molybdosilicate colorimetric methods. It is also a key source of molybdate ions in chemical synthesis and formulation work. Quality control laboratories across the pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and food processing sectors regularly source Ammonium Molybdate as an analytical-grade reagent.

Coal Technology

Catalyst in Dehydration & Desulfurization

Ammonium Molybdate plays a significant role in coal technology as a catalyst in both dehydration and desulfurization processes. In hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalyst preparation, it is used as the molybdenum precursor that, after calcination, forms the active molybdenum oxide phase on alumina supports. These catalysts are central to producing cleaner fuels in refineries and reducing sulfur emissions in coal conversion processes, making Ammonium Molybdate a critical raw material for the energy sector.

Molybdenum Metallurgy

Raw Material for Molybdenum Trioxide & Metal Powder

Ammonium Molybdate is one of the most important intermediates for the production of molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) and high-purity molybdenum metal powder. Through controlled calcination, Ammonium Heptamolybdate decomposes to yield MoO3, which is then reduced to produce molybdenum metal powder used in steel alloys, electronics, and aerospace applications. Smelting operations for molybdenum ferro alloys also use it as a starting raw material, making it a fundamental upstream chemical in the molybdenum supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions

The chemical formula of Ammonium Molybdate (also called Ammonium Heptamolybdate) is (NH₄)₆Mo₇O₂₄·4H₂O. The CAS number is 12054-85-2 and the molecular weight is 1235.86 g/mol. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is 100% soluble in aqueous ammonia solution. The compound contains seven molybdenum atoms per formula unit, which is why it is formally named heptamolybdate.

The CAS number of Ammonium Molybdate [(NH₄)₆Mo₇O₂₄·4H₂O] is 12054-85-2. The molecular weight is 1235.86 g/mol. Meghachem's standard specification is MoO3 at 81.00% minimum and Mo at 54.50% minimum. A Certificate of Analysis confirming all five quality parameters is provided with every shipment.

Ammonium Molybdate is used across four main industrial applications. First, as a catalyst in Copper Phthalocyanine crude synthesis for pigment production. Second, as a primary source of molybdate ions and an analytical reagent for phosphate and silicate detection in laboratories. Third, as a process catalyst in coal technology for dehydration and desulfurization. Fourth, and perhaps most important volumetrically, as a raw material for the production of molybdenum trioxide and high-purity molybdenum metal powder used in steel alloys, aerospace components, and electronics.

Ammonium Molybdate [(NH₄)₆Mo₇O₂₄·4H₂O] contains ammonium as the counter-ion and is preferred for applications where ammonia-based chemistry is process-compatible, such as catalyst preparation, analytical reagent work, and molybdenum metal production where the ammonium can be driven off during calcination without leaving problematic residues. Sodium Molybdate [Na₂MoO₄·2H₂O] contains sodium and is more commonly used as a corrosion inhibitor in cooling water systems, as a micronutrient fertilizer additive, and in processes where sodium is tolerated. The key decision factor is whether sodium or ammonium ions are acceptable in the final process or product.

Our standard specification covers five parameters: MoO3 at 81.00% minimum, Mo at 54.50% minimum, Chloride at 0.05% maximum, Insoluble matter at 0.01% maximum, and Iron at 0.01% maximum. The product is 100% soluble in aqueous ammonia solution. A Certificate of Analysis is provided with every shipment. Custom purity grades can be discussed for qualifying buyers with specific application requirements.

Yes. We export Ammonium Molybdate to 25+ countries including Germany, Netherlands, Turkey, UAE, Oman, Indonesia, Vietnam, USA, Singapore, Malaysia, UK, and Japan.
