Izintengo ze-Molybdenum kulindeleke ukuthi zenyuke ngenxa yesidingo esinempilo esivela embonini kawoyela negesi kanye nokwehla kokukhula kokuhlinzekwa kwezidingo.

Izintengo zensimbi zicishe zibe ngu-US$13 ngephawundi, ephezulu kakhulu kusukela ngo-2014 futhi ingaphezu kokuphindwe kabili uma kuqhathaniswa namazinga abonwe ngoDisemba 2015.

Ngokusho kwe-International Molybdenum Association, amaphesenti angama-80 e-molybdenum embiwa minyaka yonke asetshenziselwa ukwenza insimbi engagqwali, insimbi ekhonjiwe kanye nama-superalloy.

"I-Molybdenum isetshenziselwa ukuhlola, ukumba, ukukhiqiza kanye nokucwengisiswa," uGeorge Heppel weCRU Group etshela abeReuters, wengeza ngokuthi amanani aphezulu akhuthaze ukukhiqizwa okuyisisekelo okuvela kumkhiqizi ophezulu waseChina.

“Umkhuba kule minyaka emi-5 ezayo ukwehla kakhulu kwezidingongqangi ezivela emithonjeni yomkhiqizo.Ekuqaleni kwawo-2020, sizodinga ukubona izimayini eziyinhloko zivulwa kabusha ukuze kugcinwe imakethe ilingana,” esho.

Ngokusho kwe-CRU Group, isidingo se-molybdenum sibikezelwa kumaphawundi ayizigidi ezingu-577 kulo nyaka, lapho amaphesenti angu-16 azovela kuwoyela negesi.

"Sibona ukulandwa kwezimpahla ze-tubular ezisetshenziswa emakethe yegesi ye-shale yaseNyakatho Melika," kusho uDavid Merriman, umhlaziyi ophezulu we-metals consultancy Roskill."Kunokuxhumana okuqinile phakathi kwesidingo se-moly nokubala okusebenzayo kokubhola."

Ukwengeza, isidingo se-aerospace kanye nezimboni zezimoto nazo ziyakhula.

Uma sibheka ukuhlinzeka, cishe uhhafu we-molybdenum ukhishwa njengomkhiqizo wezimayini zethusi, futhi amanani abone ukusekelwa okuthile okuvela ekuphazamisekeni kwemayini yethusi ngo-2017. Eqinisweni, ukukhathazeka ngokuhlinzekwa kwempahla kuyanda njengoba ukukhiqizwa okuphansi okuvela ezimayini eziphezulu nakho kungase kufinyelele emakethe. kulo nyaka.

Ukukhiqizwa eCodelco yaseChile kwehle kusuka kumathani angama-30,000 e-moly ngo-2016 kuya kumathani angama-28,700 ngo-2017, ngenxa yamabanga aphansi emayini yayo iChuquicamata.

Khonamanjalo, imayini yaseSierra Gorda eChile, lapho umvukuzi wethusi wasePoland u-KGHM (FWB:KGHA) enesiteki esingamaphesenti angu-55, akhiqize cishe amaphawundi ayizigidi ezingu-36 ngo-2017. ukwehlisa amamaki e-ore.
