The purchasing pace at the demand end of the international thermal coal market continues to slow down and the international thermal coal price continues to decline. Prices for thermal coal at major international ports continued to fall last week as buyers in Europe slowed in recent days for April, coupled with weaker-than-expected import demand from End users in China. According to China Coal Market net monitoring:  Australia Newcastle port thermal coal price index was 253 USD/ton, compared with 309.02 USD/ton, down 56.02 USD/ton, down 18.13%. South Africa's Port Richards thermal coal price Index was $264.5 / mt, down the US $62.72 / mt or 19.17% from US $327.22 / mt. The European ARA Tri-port thermal coal price Index was $281.8 / ton. Does the price of thermal coal in major international ports continue to decline to affect the price of the Spherical Molybdenum Powder? 

What is spherical molybdenum powder?

Spherical molybdenum powder is a transition metal molybdenum in powder state, and the impurity elements include Pb, Bi, Sn, Sb, Cd, Fe, Al, Si, Mq, etc. Appearance is gray-black metal powder, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, non-radioactive, high purity, strong chemical inertness, low hardness, small oil absorption, good thermochemical stability, dispersibility, wear resistance properties and acid and alkali resistance.

Preparation and use of spherical molybdenum powder

Molybdenum powder is usually prepared from ammonium paramolybdate or calcined MoO3 by hydrogen reduction. It is the raw material for preparing molybdenum deep-processed products by powder metallurgy.

Storage and transportation The product should be protected from moisture during transportation, and should not be violently collided. Store in a dry, ventilated and acid-free atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Shelf life does not exceed 6 months

The process of producing molybdenum powder from molybdenum oxides and molybdenum halides or metallic molybdenum as raw materials is an integral part of the molybdenum metallurgical process. There are mainly molybdenum dioxide hydrogen reduction, molybdenum halide hydrogen reduction, atomization method, plasma method. The molybdenum powder produced is mainly used as alloy additives, molybdenum products and raw materials for sputtering.

Due to the above-mentioned special properties, the application of molybdenum powder has developed rapidly, and it has been widely used in industrial and agricultural fields, such as rubber, plastics, paper, coatings, paints, inks, cables, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, feed, food, sugar, textiles , glass, ceramics, sanitary products, sealants, adhesives, pesticides and pesticide carriers, as well as flue desulfurization, water treatment and other environmental protection aspects. The application of lightweight molybdenum powder overlaps and is different from that of molybdenum powder. It is mainly used in papermaking, plastics, artificial rubber, food, food coloring, medicine, adhesives and hygiene products. In recent years, the use of lightweight molybdenum powder has increased due to the information that light molybdenum powder can enhance the properties of certain materials.

As the duration of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine grows, its impact on commodities is widening amid the tug-of-war. Recently, European and American sanctions against Russia have been issued one after another. In response, Russia has taken advantage of its role as an important supplier of many energy and commodities, requiring exports of commodities, including energy, grain, metal, and wood, to "unfriendly" countries to be settled in robles. Therefore, it is expected that the price of the Spherical Molybdenum Powder will continue to increase.
