I need molybdenum nitrate for my synthesis process. Is it possible to prepare it? I didn't find any commercial availability of this product. Is that stable? Or why it is not available commercially
[I]React with Mg powder
MoS2+2Mg------heat------ Mo+2MgS-------[i]
Mg powder reduces MoS 2 to Mo
[ See 4.64 on page 239 of
Mechanochemistry in Nanoscience and Minerals Engineering
By Peter Balaz]
[II] Now boil the above reaction mixture in water
MgS+H2O----- Mg(OH)2+ H2S -----[]ii]
H2 S leaves; Mg(OH)2 is white turbity. Add dil HCl; boil; it dissolves. Filter.
Solid Mo is left undissolved.
Mg(OH)2+2HCl---- MgCl2+H2 -----[iii]
MgCl2 is soluble while H2 leaves
[III]React solid Mo with HNO3[ page 303; reacts similar to those of Zn, Pb, Ni, Cu]
to form molybdenum nitatrte.
