After Russia pledged to scale back its military operations around Kyiv and in northern Ukraine, the prices of most industrial metals fell, led by aluminum, showing people's concerns for supply shortage eased.

At an earlier time, the West imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, which aroused concerns about the supply problem because Russia is a major producer of nickel, aluminum, and copper. 

Russia is also a major gas supplier to Europe, where potential supply disruptions are seen as hitting power-intensive aluminum and zinc Molybdenum Disulfide,Overview of Molybdenum Disulfide,Application of Molybdenum Disulfide,Molybdenum disulfide price,Molybdenum Disulfide Supplier are still very uncertain.

Overview of Molybdenum Disulfide

Molybdenum disulfide (or molybdenum) is an inorganic compound composed of molybdenum and sulfur, insoluble in water, dilute acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, generally insoluble in other acids, alkalis and organic solvents, soluble in aqua regia and boiled concentrated sulfuric acid. Molybdenum disulfide is the main component of molybdenite. It is a black solid powder with metallic luster. The chemical formula of molybdenum disulfide is MoS2, the melting point is 2375°C, the density is 4.80g/cm3 (14°C), and the Mohs hardness is 1.0-1.5. It begins to decompose into metallic molybdenum and sulfur at 1370°C and 1600°C.

Application of Molybdenum Disulfide

Molybdenum disulfide is used as a dry lubricant in greases, dispersions, friction materials and bond coatings. Molybdenum-sulfur complexes can be used in suspension, but are more commonly dissolved in lubricating oils at concentrations of a few percent. MoS2 is used as an additive for greases, friction materials, plastics, rubber, nylon, PTFE, coatings, etc.

1) Widely used in automobile and machinery industry, it is a good solid lubricating material.

2) Lubricants for drill bits, cutting tools and some non-oily and hard alloy steels; lubricant additives and film removers for non-ferrous metals.

3) Preparation of greases and additives for solid lubricating films, nylon filters and catalysts.

4) Synthetic molybdenum disulfide is used as desulfurization catalyst in refineries.

After Ukraine confirmed that it had received transit transportation fees paid by Hungary and Slovakia, Russia resumed the delivery of oil from the southern route of the "Friendship" pipeline to Hungary and Slovakia on August 10.

The Hungarian oil and gas company said that after negotiations with Ukraine and Russia on resuming the southern route of the "Friendship" pipeline, the company paid transit fees for the Ukrainian section of the pipeline, and the southern line of the "Friendship" pipeline has been restarted.

Rosneft issued a notice saying that since August 4, Ukraine has banned Russian oil from the southern route of the "Friendship" pipeline in Ukraine to Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Due to financial sanctions imposed by the European Union, the company was unable to pay transit fees to Ukraine, which had been refunded. The Ukrainian Oil Transport Company decided to stop providing oil transport services on the grounds that it had not received transit fees.

The Friendship pipeline starts in Samara state in southwestern Russia, with the northern route to Germany and Poland via Belarus and the southern route to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary via Ukraine.
