During the electrolytic refining process, precious metals and rare metals in anode plates do not dissolve in the electrolyte but instead precipitate as anode sludge. Although these black-gray sludges appear to be waste, their value far exceeds expectations, making them…
Abstract Ruthenium (Ru) is a transition metal with distinctive physical and chemical properties, belonging to the platinum group metals (PGMs). Its high melting point (approximately 2334°C), hardness, and excellent electrical conductivity have attracted attention across various industrial and technological sectors.…
Shaoguan Yuntian Metals Abstract: In steelmaking, some metals are deliberately extracted, while others enter the product “incidentally” during the process. Gallium belongs to the latter category. It gradually accumulates during the smelting of vanadium-titanium magnetite and ultimately ends up in…
Abstract Rhodium (Rh) is a rare precious metal renowned for its outstanding physical and chemical properties, making it highly valued across various high-technology applications. Physically, rhodium is characterized by its high reflectivity, high melting point (1964°C), and exceptional corrosion resistance.…
Abstract The gallium recycling industry faces complex supply chain management challenges, including raw material fluctuations, process uncertainties, and output quality optimization. The integration of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has greatly enhanced this sector. Data analytics enable market…
