Deep Analysis of the Birth and Recycling Value of Ruthenium Slag in Metal Processing
On the vast stage of metal processing, chemical production, and waste electronic equipment recycling, ruthenium slag has quietly emerged as a unique product. This substance composed of a mixture of waste containing ruthenium, although seemingly inconspicuous, actually contains enormous recycling value.
The formation of ruthenium slag during metal processing is often accompanied by a series of complex chemical reactions and physical changes. In the refining, smelting, cutting, welding and other processes, raw materials containing ruthenium are subjected to high temperature, high pressure or chemical reagents, and some ruthenium elements are not fully integrated into the final product, but remain together with other impurities, forming what we call "ruthenium slag". Similarly, in chemical production, ruthenium may also be separated in the form of slag after participating in the reaction as a catalyst or reactant. In the process of recycling discarded electronic devices, with the disassembly of circuit boards and the extraction of precious metals, ruthenium slag has also become an indispensable recycling object.
Ruthenium, as a rare and important precious metal, its recycling value should not be underestimated. In today's society, with the rapid development of technology and industry, the demand for ruthenium is increasing day by day. It is widely used in various fields such as aerospace, electronics industry, catalyst preparation, etc., demonstrating an irreplaceable and important role. Therefore, the recovery of ruthenium slag not only contributes to the recycling of resources, but also brings considerable economic benefits.
Today, the recycling price of ruthenium has risen to a high of 85 yuan per gram. This price reflects the scarcity and importance of ruthenium in the market. However, regarding the recycling value of ruthenium slag, we still need to evaluate it based on the specific content of ruthenium. The higher the ruthenium content in the ruthenium slag, the greater its recovery value. Therefore, accurate detection and analysis of ruthenium slag is particularly important in the recycling process.
