MOLYBDENUM!
What’s that again? Molybdenum is an essential ingredient in
making high-strength steel. At the
Henderson operations you’ll see how the
finely dispersed mineral is recovered.
After crushing and grinding, the pulverized ore is mixed with water and a kind
of soap. Using air to create soap
bubbles, all
that soapy foam collects and floats the tiny
molybdenum particles to the surface, where
they’re scraped off and saved.
