Hydrogen chloride gas may be stored in steel cyhnders free of contaminants. Monel, pure nickel, or its aUoy, inconel, may also be used for storage and transportation up to 500°C. Hydrochloric acid may be stored in glass bottles or in containers made up of tantalum or tantalum-molybdenum alloys, or other alloys of zirconium, molybdenum, and tungsten. 

Anemia can be induced in animals on a low copper diet, such as milk, and appears 10 be due to an impaired ability of the body to absorb iron. This anemia, however, is rare, because of the widespread occurence of copper in foods. In locations, such as Australia and lire Netherlands, diseases of cattle and sheep, involving diarrhea, anemia and nervous disorders, can be traced either to a lack of copper in the diet, or to excessive amounts of molybdenum, which inhibits the storage of copper in the liver. 

As has been shown recently, a partial reduction of some molybdenum derivatives can occur spontaneously on storage via oxidation of the organic radical. Thus, molybdenum (VI) oxoisopropoxide transforms completely in 2 months according to the equation ... 

Molybdenum disulfide intercalation compounds have been considered for application in electrical energy storage superbatteries223-22S. ... 

What might perhaps be considered as an extreme intercalation is the storage of hydrogen in atomic form in a strong magnetic field in exfoliated molybdenum... 

The presence of moisture induces oxidation even at room temperature in long storage . The ultimate product of this oxidation is almost certainly molybdenum trioxide, but it has been suggested that the primary product at elevated temperatures in the absence of air is an oxysulphide MoOS, with the release of gaseous hydrogen. 

In addition to being important in industry, transition metal ions play a vital role in living organisms. For example, complexes of iron provide for the transport and storage of oxygen, molybdenum and iron compounds are catalysts in nitrogen fixation, zinc is found in more than 150 biomolecules in humans, copper and iron play a crucial role in the respiratory cycle, and cobalt is found in essential biomolecules such as vitamin Bi2-...
