Page 1986 - When an acid mix is heated the nitric acid concentration increases and the complexes tend to become completely nitrated. Further heating leads to oxidation and decomposition of these complexes to form the volatile ruthenium tetroxide. If the initial acid concentration is high enough nearly all the ruthenium can be removed from a mix heated to 400°C.

Page 2007 - For additional particle removal, the off -gas is passed through a venturi scrubber which utilizes a dilute nitric acid scrub solution obtained by condensation from the off-gas. Droplets and scrubbed particles are separated from the gas in a second cyclone. The scrub solution is cooled and recycled and a portion is continuously drawn off to compensate for liquid produced by condensation. After passing the off-gas through a cooler and condenser, gases are vented to the atmosphere through an absolute-type...

Because of the refractory nature of the calcined alumina, an accurate determination of its ruthenium content was difficult. However, the results obtained indicated that about 20 ± 10% of the feed ruthenium was retained in the solid product. The ruthenium in the condensate ranged from 43 to 75% of the feed ruthenium, and the noncondensable...
