Molybdenite: Mineral properties, uses, geologic occurrence
Molybdenite is a rare mineral composed of molybdenum and sulfur. It is the primary ore of molybdenum, with important amounts of rhenium sometimes produced as a byproduct. Molybdenite is also used as a solid lubricant to reduce friction between sliding metal parts.

2018年11月22日 · Molybdenite is the principal ore mineral of molybdenum and rhenium. It occurs widely in igneous and metamorphic rocks generated under high temperature conditions. Despite its lack of popularity and rare crystal forms, it is a very interesting and important industrial mineral. Crystal Structure of Molybdenite. Molybdenite is a simple sulfide ...
Molybdenite - Geology Page
2014年6月10日 · Molybdenite is a mineral of molybdenum disulfide, MoS 2. Similar in appearance and feel to graphite, molybdenite has a lubricating effect that is a consequence of its layered structure. The atomic structure consists of a sheet of molybdenum atoms sandwiched between sheets of sulfur atoms.
Molybdenite - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Molybdenite is defined as a natural mineral form of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), exhibiting a laminar crystalline structure with weak van der Waals interactions between S-Mo-S layers, resulting in hydrophobic surfaces and anisotropic properties.
Molybdenite – WGNHS – UW–Madison
Molybdenite is a relatively common hydrothermal mineral. It is most often found in vein complexes associated with granitic igneous rocks and related skarns that form at medium to high temperatures. It is economically important as the most common mineral containing molybdenum.
