Iridium Powder Recycling

Iridium powder is a fine granular material made from iridium metal by powder metallurgy and other processing methods, and has high chemical stability and high temperature resistance. Iridium powder is often used in the production of catalysts, electronic components, electrode materials, and high-temperature alloys. Because the iridium metal itself has very strong oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, iridium powder performs particularly well even at high temperatures and in harsh environments, and is widely used in high-end fields such as petrochemicals, electronics, and aerospace. In catalytic reactions, the high surface area of iridium powder helps to improve catalytic efficiency, and when preparing alloys, iridium powder helps to increase the stability and strength of the metal.

The main uses of iridium powder are:

1. Catalysts and catalyst carriers: Iridium powder is widely used in chemical catalytic reactions, especially in the fields of petrochemicals and environmental protection. Iridium powder has excellent catalytic performance in certain reactions (such as hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and nitridation), and is often used as a catalyst or catalyst carrier to improve reaction rate and selectivity. For example, in automobile exhaust gas purification, iridium powder is used as a catalyst to help reduce the emission of harmful gases.

2. High-temperature materials and alloys: Iridium powder is often used in the production of high-temperature alloys because of its very high melting point (about 2446°C) and anti-oxidation properties. It is added to other metals such as iridium-palladium alloys and iridium-rhodium alloys to enhance the high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance of these alloys. Iridium powder is often used in fields such as aerospace, nuclear power, and high-temperature smelting to ensure that equipment can operate stably even under harsh conditions.

3. Electronic components and electrical contacts: Iridium powder is widely used in electronic components, especially electrical contacts, sensors, and electrode materials that require high stability and high-temperature resistance. Iridium powder has excellent electrical conductivity and stability, so it can maintain stable operation for a long time even in harsh environments, and is often used in the manufacture of high-precision electrical contact parts, electronic contacts, etc.

4. Manufacturing of high-precision devices: Iridium powder is also used in the manufacture of some high-precision instruments and equipment. For example, high-precision thermocouples, optical components, scientific research experimental equipment, etc. use iridium powder as part of the material to ensure that the equipment can operate stably for a long time even at high temperatures and in harsh environments.
