Hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā kumukūʻai Molybdenum e hoʻonui ma ke kua o ka noi olakino mai ka ʻoihana aila a me ka ʻenehana a me ka emi ʻana o ka ulu ʻana o ka lako.

ʻO nā kumukūʻai no ka metala ma kahi kokoke i US $ 13 no ka paona, ʻo ka mea kiʻekiʻe loa mai ka makahiki 2014 a ʻoi aku ma mua o ka pālua i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā pae i ʻike ʻia ma Dekemaba 2015.

Wahi a ka International Molybdenum Association, 80 pakeneka o ka molybdenum i ʻeli ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki e hoʻohana ʻia e hana i ke kila kila, ka hao a me nā superalloys.

"Hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Molybdenum i ka ʻimi ʻana, ka ʻeli ʻana, ka hana ʻana a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana," i haʻi aku ai ʻo George Heppel o CRU Group iā Reuters, me ka hoʻohui ʻana ua hoʻoikaika nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe i ka hana mua mai ka mea hana kiʻekiʻe ʻo Kina.

"ʻO ke ʻano i nā makahiki 5 e hiki mai ana kekahi o ka ulu haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa mai nā kumu huahana. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2020, pono mākou e ʻike i nā mines mua i wehe hou ʻia e mālama i ka mākeke, "i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia.

Wahi a CRU Group, ua wānana ʻia ka noi molybdenum ma 577 miliona paona i kēia makahiki, ʻo ia ka 16 pakeneka e hele mai mai ka aila a me ke kinoea.

"Ke ʻike nei mākou i ka ʻohi ʻana i nā huahana tubular i hoʻohana ʻia ma ka mākeke shale gas o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau," wahi a David Merriman, kahi loiloi koʻikoʻi ma ka hui kūkākūkā metala ʻo Roskill. "Aia kahi pilina ikaika ma waena o ka noi moly a me nā helu drill ikaika."

Hoʻohui ʻia, ke kiʻi nei ka noi mai ka aerospace a me nā ʻoihana kaʻa.

Ke nānā nei i ka hoʻolako ʻana, ma kahi o ka hapalua o ka molybdenum i unuhi ʻia ma ke ʻano he huahana o ka mining keleawe, a ua ʻike nā kumukūʻai i ke kākoʻo ʻana mai ka hoʻopau ʻana o ka maina keleawe i ka makahiki 2017. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ke piʻi nei ka hopohopo o ka hoʻolako ʻana no ka mea hiki ke hoʻokuʻi ʻia nā huahana haʻahaʻa mai nā mines kiʻekiʻe i ka mākeke. keia makahiki.

Ua hōʻole ka hana ʻana ma Chile's Codelco mai 30,000 tonnes moly i 2016 a i 28,700 tonnes i 2017, ma muli o nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ma kāna Chuquicamata mine.

I kēia manawa, ʻo ka mine Sierra Gorda ma Chile, kahi i loaʻa ai i ka miner keleawe Polani ʻo KGHM (FWB: KGHA) he 55-pakeneka, i hana ʻia ma kahi o 36 miliona paona ma 2017. ʻO ia ka mea, ke manaʻo nei ka hui e hōʻemi i ka 15 a i ka 20 pakeneka no ka mea. e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i nā helu oka.
