- Rhodium is a
chemical element with the symbol Rh and atomic number 45.
- Rhodium is a hard
silvery white and durable metal that has a high reflectance.
- Rhodium metal is, as
a noble metal, inert.
- Rhodium occurs
natively with other platinum metals in river sands of the Urals and in
North and South America.
- Rhodium is one of
the rarest elements on Earth.
- The industrial
extraction of rhodium is complex as the metal occurs in ores mixed with
other metals such as palladium, silver, platinum, and gold.
- Rhodium is often
produced as a by-product of other metals extraction, when its production
becomes more economical.
- Rhodium is usually
obtained as a by-product in the recovery of platinum from its ores.
- Rhodium is separated
by a series of chemical and physical reactions from other platinum
metals with which it occurs.
- It has been found
that although rhodium can be extracted under certain conditions , the
PGMs are more readily extracted and therefore amines are useful only
when Rh is the only precious metal in solution.
- The primary use of
this element is as an alloying agent for hardening and improving the
corrosion resistance of platinum and palladium.
- Rhodium is used to
make electrical contacts, as jewelry and in catalytic converters, but is
most frequently used as an alloying agent in other materials, such as
platinum and palladium.
- It is useful as an
electrical contact material as it has a low electrical resistance, a low
and stable contact resistance, and is highly resistant to
corrosion.
- Rhodium is used
primarily to make alloys with other metals. These alloys are used for
specialized industrial purposes and in jewelry.
- Rhodium is also used
in jewellery, where it is used to plate white gold via electrolytic
deposition.
- Demand from the
glass industry for rhodium is also expected to be strong.
- The majority of
demand will originate from Asia, where manufacturers of flat panel
display glass have continued to invest heavily in new production
capacity.
- The primary, or
mine, production of rhodium will rise further, as will the amount of
metal reclaimed from spent automotive
catalysts.
- The rhodium price
has risen predominantly on the back of increased use of the metal in
autocatalysts manufactured for motor vehicles in the United States,
Europe and Japan.
- Strong demand is
expected to continue for at least the next year and the market is
expected to be tight with limited liquidity.
- Rhodium is also used
in the fabrication of glass and this industry has showed significant
growth.
