Selling ruthenium, a remarkable ruthenium recycling initiative

In the late spring of 2022, a special cleanup took place at a tech company in Hamburg, Germany. The purpose of the cleanup was not just to tidy up the space, but to recover a special precious metal - ruthenium. The company has been committed to research and development of high-tech products for many years, and in the old equipment, it has accumulated about 30 kilograms of ruthenium metal.

Ruthenium, a rare and expensive metal, plays an important role in many high-tech applications, especially in the production of hard disk drives and the catalysis of certain types of chemical reactions. Ruthenium's value lies not only in its scarcity, but also in its contribution to scientific and technological progress. Therefore, for the company, this recycling action is both an asset recovery and a contribution to the cause of environmental protection.

These 30 kilograms of ruthenium, after professional refining and processing, were eventually turned into a high-purity metal, with a total value of a staggering 12 million euros. This process not only shows the high maturity of recycling technology, but also reflects the sense of responsibility of science and technology enterprises for resource recycling.

In the process of refining ruthenium, the most critical step is to separate it from other impurities, which requires a series of complex chemical reactions. Subsequently, the purity of ruthenium was further improved by electrolytic refining. This whole process not only requires the expertise of the technicians, but also challenges the accuracy of the equipment.

Pyeongtaek Precious Metal Recycling Company played an important role in this operation. We not only provide professional recycling services, but also ensure that the entire process is environmentally friendly and safe. We believe that through our efforts, we can convert more waste precious metals into valuable resources and make greater contributions to environmental protection and resource recycling. By choosing Pyeongtaek, let us work together to create a greener and more sustainable future.
