Sodium Molybdate is widely used in manufacturing, including agricultural fertilizers, pigments, catalysts, fire retardants, corrosion inhibitors, as well as water treatment.
It is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals. It is commonly used for hydroponics and leguminous plants, such as peas, beans, lentils, alfalfa, and peanuts. Sodium Molybdate improves the uptake of nitrogen and promotes efficient fixing of atmospheric nitrogen by bacteria.
Sodium Molybdate is used in water treatment, including industrial water treatment due to its low toxicity. The advantage of Sodium Molybdate in water treatment is that it is effective in low dosages, which maintains low conductivity of water and prevents corrosion by reducing galvanic corrosion potentials.
It is also used for metal surface treatment, including galvanizing and polishing.
