Ruthenium tetroxide, as a rare and high value precious metal, is widely used in high-tech fields, such as electronic devices, catalysts and so on. However, with the increasing scarcity of resources, the recovery and reuse of ruthenium tetroxide has become particularly important.
In the autumn of 2022, a research laboratory in Berlin, Germany, successfully carried out a ruthenium tetroxide recycling project. A large number of used catalysts have accumulated in the laboratory, and these catalysts contain considerable ruthenium tetroxide. Through advanced chemical extraction technology, the experimental team successfully extracted extremely high purity ruthenium tetroxide from these waste catalysts.
During the extraction process, the team first sorted and pre-treated the waste catalyst, then used a series of chemical reactions to separate out the ruthenium tetroxide and improve its purity through a fine purification process. This process is not only technically demanding, but also requires strict safety measures. In the end, about 10 kg of high purity ruthenium tetroxide was successfully recovered from 1000 kg of waste catalyst.
The market price of ruthenium tetroxide fluctuates according to purity and international market demand, but it is usually very expensive and can reach hundreds of dollars per gram. Therefore, the value of these 10 kilograms of ruthenium tetroxide is up to millions of dollars, and this significant economic benefit fully demonstrates the great potential of precious metal recycling.
In addition to economic value, the recovery of ruthenium tetroxide has important environmental significance. Through recycling and reuse, the exploitation of primary resources is greatly reduced, while the burden of industrial waste on the environment is reduced. This recycling model provides an important example of sustainable development.
