Ruthenium Alloy Recycling

Ruthenium chloride (RuCl₃) is a compound consisting of ruthenium and chlorine, usually in the form of black or dark green crystals or powder. It is a common compound of ruthenium and is widely used in catalytic reactions, especially in processes such as organic synthesis and hydrogen production. Ruthenium chloride has good thermal stability at high temperatures and strong catalytic activity, so it is often used as a catalyst or catalyst precursor. It can also be used in the production of ruthenium metal and as a raw material for ruthenium-based alloys and materials. Ruthenium chloride is also used in fuel cells, electrocatalysis, certain chemical analyses, and materials science research. Waste ruthenium chloride is one of the recycling sources of ruthenium-containing precious metal catalyst waste. Recycling of ruthenium-containing precious metal catalyst waste also includes ruthenium oxide recycling, ruthenium acetate recycling, ruthenium carbon recycling, ruthenium zinc catalyst recycling, ruthenium iodide recycling, ruthenium aluminum oxide catalyst recycling, etc.

Ruthenium iodide (RuI₃) is an inorganic compound of ruthenium, usually a dark brown or black solid. It is a ruthenium(III) compound produced by the reaction of ruthenium with iodine, and has high stability and good chemical properties. Ruthenium iodide has important applications in the field of catalysis, especially in certain redox reactions, where it can significantly improve the efficiency of reactions as a catalyst. Ruthenium iodide also plays an important role in organic synthesis and photoelectrochemical reactions. Due to its strong catalytic activity, ruthenium iodide has been widely studied and applied in high-tech fields such as electrochemistry, fuel cells, and photoelectrocatalysis. Waste ruthenium iodide is one of the raw materials for recycling ruthenium-containing precious metal catalysts. Other raw materials for recycling ruthenium-containing precious metal catalysts include recovery of ruthenium oxide, recovery of ruthenium chloride, recovery of potassium ruthenium chloride, recovery of ruthenium acetate, recovery of ruthenium trichloride, and recovery of bis(cyclopentadienyl)ruthenic acid.

Ruthenium slag refers to the solid waste or residues produced after ruthenium metal reacts with other substances during the smelting, refining, or use of ruthenium. As ruthenium is a precious metal, it is usually smelted under conditions of high temperature and pressure. Therefore, ruthenium slag often contains small amounts of other metallic impurities, such as iridium and platinum, in addition to ruthenium. The composition and properties of ruthenium slag may vary depending on the specific process by which it is produced, and it usually needs to be recovered and processed in a specific way to extract the ruthenium and other precious metals it contains. Ruthenium slag may also be used as a by-product in catalysis in some cases, or chemically processed to produce other ruthenium alloy materials. Waste ruthenium slag is one of the recycling pathways for ruthenium-containing waste. Other recycling pathways for ruthenium-containing waste include ruthenium water recycling, ruthenium slurry recycling, ruthenium slag recycling, ruthenium powder recycling, ruthenium gold recycling, ruthenium wire recycling, and ruthenium block recycling.

Ruthenium alloys are alloy materials composed mainly of ruthenium and other metal elements (platinum, iridium, palladium, lead, etc.). Ruthenium alloys are widely used in many special fields because they combine the excellent properties of ruthenium (high temperature stability, corrosion resistance, catalytic activity, etc.) with the wear resistance, strength, electrical conductivity, etc. of other metals. These alloys are often used in the manufacture of parts, catalysts, electrode materials, aerospace equipment, chemical reactors, and electronic components that operate in high temperature environments. Ruthenium alloys have excellent corrosion resistance, so they perform well in harsh environments, especially for use in equipment that must withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive gases for long periods of time. Waste ruthenium alloys are one of the recycling sources of ruthenium-containing waste. Other recycling sources of ruthenium-containing waste include ruthenium-iridium alloy recycling, ruthenium-iridium mesh recycling, ruthenium slag recycling, ruthenium sheet recycling, ruthenium slurry recycling, ruthenium tube recycling, and ruthenium sheet mesh recycling.
