Properties of rhodium | electroplated rhodium is a rare noble metal, which is mainly derived from natural Rhodium. The color is silver white, metallic luster, opaque. Hard 4~4.5, the relative density of 12.5. The high melting point was 1955 °c. Chemical stability. Because of the corrosion resistance of rhodium gold, and gloss is good, so it is mainly used in the electroplating industry, the plating on the surface of other metals, the coating color is strong, not easy to wear, good reflective effect. Valences 2, 4 and 6. The first ionization energy is 7.46 electron volts. At moderate temperatures, it is also resistant to most common acids (including aqua regia). Chemical reactions with hot concentrated sulfuric acid, hot hydrobromic acid, sodium hypochlorite and free halogens are possible at 200-600 °c. It does not react with many molten metals, such as gold, silver, sodium and potassium, and molten bases. peripheral electron layer arrangement: 4d8 5s1 electron layer: K-L-M-N-O nuclear charge: 45. |
characteristics and application | platinum group metals with high melting point, high strength, stable electrothermal properties, high resistance to electrical discharge erosion, excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature oxidation resistance, good catalytic activity, widely used in automobile exhaust purification, chemical, aerospace, glass fiber, electronic and electrical industries and other fields, but plays a key role, known as "industrial vitamin. In addition to making alloys, Rhodium can be used as a bright and hard coating of other metals, for example, on silver or camera parts. The evaporation of the rhodium onto the glass surface, resulting in a thin layer of wax, results in a particularly good mirror surface. (1) high catalytic activity and selectivity, long life. Rhodium and its alloys, rhodium-containing compounds, complex catalysts can be used in the production of aldehydes and acetic acid, automobile exhaust gas purification, ammonia oxidation of nitric acid production, plastics, synthetic fibers, drugs, pesticides and other organic chemical synthesis, fuel cell electrodes. (2) the visible light reflectivity is high and stable. Commonly used in special industrial mirror, headlight, radar and other reflective surface coating. (3) high melting point, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, is one of the most stable chemical properties of the metal. Can be used as a corrosion-resistant container, the atmosphere can be used at a high temperature of 1850 deg C, pure rhodium Crucible can be used for the production of calcium tungstate and lithium niobate single crystal. (4) The rhodium coating has high hardness (7500 ~ 9000MPa), wear resistance, corrosion resistance and stable contact resistance. Rhodium-plated composite material is an excellent electrical contact material. Rhodium can also be used for the coating of jewelry and other industrial instruments and gas sensors. (5) modification. Rhodium can form a solid solution with platinum, palladium and other metals, which can strengthen the matrix by solid solution, improve the melting point, recrystallization temperature and corrosion resistance of the matrix, and reduce the loss of oxidation volatilization, among them, platinum-rhodium alloy is an excellent precious metal temperature measurement material; The compounds formed by Rhodium and titanium, zirconium, hafnium, tantalum, niobium and other metals play a role in Dispersion strengthening and increase thermal stability of the rhodium-containing alloy; the processing properties of iridium can be improved by adding rhodium to Iridium. (6) The work hardening rate is high, and cold working can be performed after hot working into a certain size. (7) it is expensive and is usually used only as an additive element except for special use. |

production method | industrial production of Rhodium can be produced from ore by dry process; Copper, the by-products generated in the production process of preparing copper and nickel from nickel sulfide ore are used as raw materials and are prepared by wet smelting. The residual components after extraction of nickel and copper were used as raw materials by wet method, and extracted by adding aqua regia. After filtration, the filtrate was used to extract platinum and palladium. The residue is treated by adding nitric acid and the like, filtered, and ammonium nitrate is added to the filtrate for reaction to generate Rhodium ammonium nitrate precipitate, which is refined and filtered to reduce Rhodium ammonium nitrate with hydrogen, approximately 99.99% of the finished Rhodium was obtained. |
