Ruthenium is a member of the platinum group of metals known for its high ionization energy, which gives it excellent chemical stability. Platinum group metals, in addition to ruthenium, include platinum, iridium, palladium, rhodium, and osmium. This group of metals shares many characteristics, such as high melting point, excellent corrosion resistance and catalytic ability, and is therefore widely used in industry, jewelry manufacturing and electronic devices.
In one specific recycling case, Hirasawa Precious Metals Recycling successfully recycled a batch of ruthenium-containing industrial waste in Tokyo, Japan, in the fall of 2022. The main metal recovered was ruthenium, with a total weight of 100 kilograms. This batch of waste is mainly derived from discarded electronic equipment and catalysts, and the ruthenium contained is successfully extracted and purified through a sophisticated chemical treatment and physical separation process.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/48220.html

The recovery process begins with the initial classification and evaluation of the waste, followed by the extraction of pure ruthenium through steps such as chemical dissolution and electrolysis. Environmental standards are strictly observed throughout the process to ensure minimal impact on the environment. Based on the market price at the time, the total value of the 100 kg of ruthenium recovered was about $3 million, reflecting the high value of ruthenium as a precious metal.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/48220.html

Ionization energy and element family properties of Ruthenium
The ionization energy index of ruthenium indicates that it does not lose electrons easily in chemical reactions, a property that is key to its stability in high temperatures and corrosive environments. Ruthenium and other platinum group metals therefore have irreplaceable applications in catalysts, electronic devices and corrosion resistant materials. These common characteristics of these metals, combined with their rarity in nature, make them highly valued in the market.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/48220.html
