Iridium Crucible Recycling

Iridium crucibles are high-performance, high-temperature-resistant containers made of iridium metal, mainly used in smelting, chemical reactions, or other experimental operations at very high temperatures. Iridium has a very high melting point (about 2446°C) and excellent corrosion resistance, so iridium crucibles can be used stably for a long time even in high temperature, strong acid, and strong oxidation environments. Therefore, they are widely used in metallurgy, chemical synthesis, metal refining, scientific research experiments, and aerospace material development. Iridium crucibles are particularly suitable for situations where precious metals, high-temperature metals, or substances that are easily oxidized need to be handled under extreme conditions, and can withstand the harsh chemical environment that occurs during high-temperature reactions. Because iridium is rare, iridium crucibles usually have a high cost, but their excellent performance makes them indispensable for high-end applications.

Common types of iridium crucibles include:

1. Pure iridium crucibles: Pure iridium crucibles are made of 100% iridium metal, which has extremely high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and chemical stability. Pure iridium crucibles are suitable for use in extreme environments where high temperatures (close to or above the melting point of iridium) are required for experiments or smelting, such as smelting precious metals, synthesizing metals, and researching nuclear materials.

2. Iridium alloy crucibles: Iridium alloy crucibles are a mixture of iridium and other metals (such as palladium, rhodium, and iridium titanium alloys). The addition of these alloys increases the mechanical strength and durability of the crucible and in some cases also increases the melting point of the alloy. Iridium alloy crucibles are often used in harsh high-temperature experiments that do not require pure iridium, such as smelting certain metal alloys and high-temperature chemical reactions.

3. Iridium titanium alloy crucible: This crucible is composed of an alloy of iridium and titanium, usually with a higher iridium content (e.g. 90% iridium, 10% titanium). This alloy combines the corrosion resistance of iridium with the strength of titanium, making it suitable for applications requiring excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, especially in chemical reactions and high-temperature experiments, and is particularly suitable for certain high-temperature melting reactions and catalytic reactions.

4. Iridium rhodium alloy crucible: Iridium rhodium alloy crucibles are synthesized from iridium and rhodium metals, usually with very high oxidation resistance and high temperature resistance. The addition of rhodium improves the stability of the crucible in certain reactions, making it especially suitable for experiments with high temperatures and high requirements for oxidation prevention in complex chemical reactions.
