Ammonium molybdate is ... a representative soluble molybdenum compound. Molybdenum is an essential element for the function of nitrogenase in plants and as a cofactor for enzymes including xanthine oxidoreductase, aldehyde oxidase, and sulfide oxidase in animals. (NH4)6Mo7O24 is the form of ammonium molybdate frequently sold because it is easily prepared at high purity by crystallization from aqueous solutions of MoO3 containing excess NH3. ... AM is used for preparing specialty catalysts and wherever a highly aqueous soluble form of molybdate, free of metal cations, is required. AM is also used as an analytical reagent and as a catalyst for dehydrogenation and desulfurization in petroleum and coal technology ... 10, record 8, English, - hexaammonium%20heptamolybdate
