Technical molybdic oxide
About 97 percent of MoS₂ must be converted into technical molybdic oxide (85–90 percent MoO₃) in order to reach its commercial destination. Such conversion is almost universally carried out in Nichols-Herreshoff-type multiple-hearth furnaces, into which molybdenite concentrate is fed from the top…

molybdenum
…molybdenum trioxide (MoO₃), also called technical molybdic oxide, which, after purification, can be reduced with hydrogen to the metal. Subsequent treatment depends on the ultimate use of molybdenum. Molybdenum may be added to steel in the furnace in the form of either technical oxide or ferromolybdenum. Ferromolybdenum (containing at least…
