Effect of ammonium dimolybdate (ADM) on the reduction of molybdenum trioxide

► The reduction of MoO3 occurs at lower temperatures with addition of (NH4)2Mo2O7. ► The reduction of MoO3 occurs at faster rate with addition of (NH4)2Mo2O7. ► The agglomeration of powders decreased with addition of (NH4)2Mo2O7 to MoO3. ► (NH4)2Mo2O7 addition can be utilized to reduce agglomeration during MoO3 reduction.
