Iridium rod recycling_ High purity iridium rod recycling price_ Precious metal recycling and refining manufacturers
Rhodium is a silvery-white metal with a hard and ductile texture. Its density is about 12.41 g/cm3, its melting point is 2233 degrees Celsius, and its boiling point is 4000 degrees Celsius. The sources of rhodium are quite scarce, mainly distributed in some deposits in the earth's crust. South Africa and Russia are the world's largest rhodium producing areas, accounting for about 80% of the world's rhodium production. Scrap rhodium rods are one of the important sources of iridium-containing waste recycling. Iridium-containing waste recycling also includes iridium-plated titanium plate recycling, iridium powder recycling, iridium gold recycling, iridium block recycling, iridium tube recycling, iridium crucible recycling, iridium wire recycling, and iridium pellet recycling.
Product Details
Iridium rod is a bar shaped article made of pure iridium metal. Iridium (Chemical symbol: Ir, Atomic number: 77) is a rare Platinum group with many unique properties. Iridium rods have characteristics such as high density, high melting point, good corrosion resistance, and stability, which make them irreplaceable in many special applications. For example, iridium rods have important applications in fields such as aerospace, medicine, chemistry, and the electronic industry.
The preparation process of iridium rods is relatively complex and costly. The following are the general steps for preparing iridium rods: 1. Ore mining: Firstly, it is necessary to mine ores rich in iridium. Iridium mainly exists as a byproduct in platinum and nickel ores. 2. Ore processing: The ore is crushed and ground to release iridium and other metal elements. Next, iridium is separated from other metal elements through physical separation methods such as flotation. 3. Extraction: The extraction process mainly involves extracting iridium from ores through hydrometallurgical techniques such as solvent extraction and ion exchange. This step produces compounds containing iridium, usually iridium salts. 4. Refining: Chemical reduction or electrolysis of compounds containing iridium to reduce them to iridium metal. In order to obtain high-purity iridium metal, multiple refinements may be required. 5. Casting iridium rods: Melt iridium metal with a purity of over 99.9% and pour it into a specially designed mold. At high temperatures, iridium metal solidifies and forms iridium rods. This process requires strict control of temperature and atmosphere to prevent iridium metal oxidation or reactions with other elements. 6. Mechanical processing and surface treatment: The cast iridium rod may require further mechanical processing to achieve the required size and shape. In addition, in order to improve the surface quality and performance of iridium rods, surface treatments such as polishing and electroplating may also be required.
