Ruthenium Production Cost Analysis

Report Overview:

Ruthenium (RU) is one of the rarest metals on Earth, with the atomic number 44. It is a chemical element that is commonly found and extracted from ore by separating it from other platinum metals, including pyroxenite, osmium, palladium, platinum, and pentlandite. Commercially, it is obtained from the wastes of nickel refining. Ruthenium is the most effective hardener for palladium and platinum, due to which it is alloyed with these metals to make electrical contacts for wear resistance. The material is also known for its purity, malleability, unique catalytic and unreactive properties, and high melting points. As a result, ruthenium is widely used in fuel cells, auto catalysts, oxygen sensors, jewelry making, flat-panel computers, medical tools, electronic components, razors, spark plugs, computer hard drives, and glass production. Apart from this, it is also used to manufacture solar cells as it boosts the production of electrical energy.

The increasing product application across the electronics, chemical, and automotive industries is one of the primary factors driving the market growth across the globe. Ruthenium is widely used in the electronics sector for chip resistors and electrical contacts. Other than that, in the chemical industry, ruthenium oxide is used to coat the anodes of electrochemical cells for chlorine production and as a catalyst to produce ammonia and acetic acid. Moreover, the rising use of the compound across the pharmaceutical sector to manufacture antimalaria, antibiotics, and immunosuppressive drugs and the surging activities of nickel mining are providing a considerable boost to the market growth. Besides this, rapid technological advancements and growing product demand in the medical industry for anticancer medicines and medical devices are positively contributing to the market growth. Other factors, such as the rising product application in jewelry, inflating consumer expenditure power, and surging consumption of domestically-produced ruthenium, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
