Introduction | ruthenium is a chemical element with Ru symbol and atomic number 44. It is combined with platinum and serves as a catalyst and certain platinum alloys. Chemically, it dissolves in molten alkali, but is not attacked by acid. Reaction with oxygen and halogen at high temperature. It also forms complexes with multiple oxidation states. Ruthenium also belongs to the Platinum Group and includes six elements with similar chemical properties. They are located in the middle of the second and third series of transition elements. The platinum group consists of ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum. Ruthenium is a hard, brittle metal with a BP of 4150°C that is resistant to corrosion by all acids, but susceptible to corrosion by strong bases. When a small amount is alloyed with other metals, corrosion of the metals is prevented. |
Discovery History | G.W. Osann, a new element ruthenium was discovered in 1828. He found insoluble residues in natural aqua regia platinum extract in the fluvial formations of the Urals mountains in Russia. He was named rutheren after Ruthenia, a Russian Latin. However, the discovery of this element is attributed to Claus, who discovered in 1844 that the ruthenium oxide of Osana was very impure and that pure ruthenium metal was isolated from crude platinum residues that were insoluble in aqua regia. |
Source | ruthenium is a transition element belonging to the VIII (iron) group of periodic classification, belonging to the light platinum metal triad. It is a hard and brittle metal, similar to platinum. It is crystallized in hexagonal form and appears in the form of seven stable isotopes: 96(5.46%),98(1.87%),99(12.63%),100(12.53%),101(17.02%),102(31.6%) and 104(18.87%). There are also several radioactive isotopes, respectively 93, 94, 95, 97, 103, 105, 106, 107 and 108, of which 106 isotopes are characterized by strong beta radiation, half-Life was 368 days. Since it is produced in large quantities in a nuclear reactor, it is worth special attention. Ruthenium is the rarest of the platinum group elements (abundance in the Earth's crust is about 0.0004 ppm). Ruthenium is a member of the platinum group, native to the Urals and other members of the ore family of North and South America. Platinum and other platinum species have also been found in small amounts, but not in large quantities, in the nickel ore deposits in salidbury, Ontario, and in the diabase deposits in South Africa. The metal is commercially separated by a complex chemical process, the final stage of which is the hydrogen reduction of ruthenium ammonium chloride to produce a powder. The powder is consolidated by powder metallurgy techniques or argon arc welding. |
Application | since ruthenium is rare and is difficult to separate in pure form, it has little use. Its main use is as an alloy for the production of non-corrosive steel, as well as as as an additive to jewelry metals such as platinum, palladium and gold, making it more durable. It has also been used as an alloy to make electrical contacts of medical devices harder and wear longer, and more recently as an experimental metal to convert solar cell materials directly into electrical energy. Ruthenium acts as a catalyst that affects the rate of chemical reactions, but is not altered by chemical processes. It is also used as a drug for the treatment of eye diseases. Used as an alternative to platinum in jewelry; Used in pen tips; As a hardener in electrical contact alloys, electrical wires; Catalyst in the synthesis of long-chain hydrocarbons in ceramic colors. |
preparation | ruthenium is derived from a platinum metal ore. The method of production depends on the type of ore. However, the extraction process is similar to other noble metals (see platinum, rhodium and iridium). Like rhodium, ruthenium can be obtained from the accumulated anode sludge during electrolytic refining of nickel or copper from certain types of ores. The element ruthenium is present in natural alloys of iridium and (Iridium, sulphites), and also in small quantities commercially recoverable in sulfides and other ores (pentalite, laurite, etc.). by treatment with aqua regia (separation of insoluble, rhodium, ruthenium and iridium), fusion with sodium bisulfate (reaction with rhodium) and fusion with sodium peroxide (Dissolution with sodium silicate) to separate the elements from other platinum metals. And ruthenium). The resulting ruthenium acid and osmotic acid solutions were treated with ethanol to precipitate ruthenium dioxide. Ruthenium dioxide was purified by treatment with hydrochloric acid and chlorine and reduced to pure metal with hydrogen. Recovery of ruthenium from waste generated during processing of platinum and nickel ores from depleted catalytic converters or in a similar manner. |
hazard | The main hazard is the explosiveness of ruthenium fine powder or dust. When a metal is exposed to an oxidant-type chemical species (such as potassium chloride) at room temperature, the metal oxidizes rapidly (explosion). Most of its few compounds are toxic and smoke should be avoided. |
Overview | ruthenium is a hard, brittle, light gray, multivalent, rare metal element, is a member of the platinum group metals. In the Earth's crust content is only one part per billion, is one of the rarest metals, but ruthenium is indeed the least expensive of the platinum group metals, although platinum, palladium and other metals are more abundant than ruthenium. The nature of ruthenium is very stable, corrosion resistance is very strong, at room temperature that can resist hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and aqua regia corrosion. figure: ruthenium |
