Ruthenium Ingot is a silver-white metal with a density of 12.3, a melting point of 2310°C and a boiling point of 3900°C. The chemical properties of ruthenium are stable, insoluble in acid and soluble in molten strong bases, carbonates, etc. it can react with fluorine, chlorine, etc. when heated; ruthenium has a strong tendency to form coordination compounds, and has a good catalytic function.

Ruthenium belongs to the platinum group elements, and more than 80 kinds of platinum group minerals and minerals containing platinum group elements have been discovered, and more than 200 varieties and unnamed minerals have been discovered. In the natural world, platinum group metals are mainly found in natural elements, natural alloys, antimonides, sulfides, sulfide arsenides and bismuth tellurides. Nickel pyrite, purple sulfur nickel (iron) ore and other ores. In the ore containing platinum group elements, because osmium, iridium, palladium, rhodium and ruthenium are all symbiotic with platinum, platinum is usually the main component, while the content of other platinum group elements is small, so they are all extracted from platinum. Other platinum group metals such as ruthenium are recovered from the residue.

Ruthenium is a useful hardener for platinum and palladium. Using ruthenium to make electrical touch alloys, adding 0.1% ruthenium in metal titanium can greatly improve corrosion resistance. Ruthenium-molybdenum alloy is a superconductor, and ruthenium-containing catalysts are mostly used in petrochemicals.
