CAS 1309-56-4
:Molybdenite
Description:
Molybdenite, with the CAS number 1309-56-4, is a mineral composed primarily of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂). It is characterized by its layered structure, which allows for easy cleavage along the planes of the layers, giving it a shiny, metallic luster. Molybdenite typically appears as a gray to bluish-gray mineral and is often found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. It is the primary ore of molybdenum, an essential element used in steel alloys and various industrial applications due to its high melting point and strength. Molybdenite exhibits semiconductor properties and can be used in electronic applications. Its chemical stability and resistance to oxidation make it valuable in high-temperature environments. Additionally, molybdenite is relatively soft, with a Mohs hardness of about 1 to 1.5, which contributes to its ease of processing. Overall, molybdenite plays a crucial role in both geological studies and industrial applications, particularly in metallurgy and electronics.
