All About Found Materials

The use of metal is an integral part of human development. Historical periods such as the Iron and Bronze Ages are called that because new technologies allowed people to use these metals to make tools, weapons, jewellery, and other items. Today, metals are all around us—from construction and machinery manufacturing to microscopic components in electronics and medical fields. Science is constantly searching for new ways to use the Earth’s elements more efficiently. Our team strives to extract these elements more effectively and return them to production from metal-containing waste.

Rutenis

Ruthenium

One of Earth’s rarest metals, ruthenium (lat. ruthenium) can be extracted by removing other platinum group elements out of mined multi-metal compounds. Ruthenium has a melting point of 2250°C and a boiling point of 3900°C. Ruthenium is a silver-grey, strong, and highly chemically resistant metal with excellent corrosion resistance.

The industrial applications of ruthenium are extremely diverse. Ruthenium is used in the manufacture of chips for computer hard drives and other electronic devices (e.g., telephones). The amounts of ruthenium found in traditional electronic and household appliances are extremely small. As a result, it’s not economically viable to organise retail processing of such appliances to extract ruthenium.

Platinum and palladium metals, when reinforced with ruthenium, have extremely high strength; such metal alloys are often used in the manufacture of luxury jewellery. There is also growing interest and demand for ruthenium in the hydrogen industry.
