Why is ruthenium a good catalyst

Let's first look at a specific recycling case to understand the economic value and environmental significance of ruthenium.

Recycling case overview
In early 2023, a chemical plant in Hamburg, Germany, successfully recovered a batch of used ruthenium catalysts. These catalysts play an important role in the industrial production process, but over time they gradually lose their activity and need to be replaced.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/48182.html

Recovery process
The chemical plant started the process of recycling ruthenium catalysts in cooperation with a specialized precious metals recycling company. First, the ruthenium metal is separated by chemical treatment, and then its purity is restored by refining technology. The process is both efficient and environmentally friendly, resulting in the recovery of about 5 kg of pure ruthenium from 500 kg of used catalysts.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/48182.html

Recovery of results
The recovery of these 5 kilograms of pure ruthenium, based on the market price at the time, amounted to a total value of about 250,000 euros. This not only brings significant economic benefits to the chemical plant, but also reduces the impact on the environment, demonstrating the importance of resource recycling.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/48182.html

Why is ruthenium a good catalyst
Ruthenium is widely used as a catalyst mainly because of its unique chemical properties. First, ruthenium has extremely high chemical stability and can remain unchanged in various chemical reactions, which makes it have long-term activity in catalytic reactions. Secondly, the electronic structure of ruthenium enables it to efficiently adsorb reactants and promote electron transfer between reactants, speeding up the process of chemical reactions. In addition, the anti-toxicity of ruthenium is strong, which can resist the toxic substances that may be produced during the reaction process and maintain the catalytic efficiency. These properties make ruthenium an indispensable catalyst for many chemical reactions, especially in petroleum refining and organic synthesis.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/48182.html
