	It's Elemental - The Element Ruthenium
		Ruthenium was discovered by Karl Karlovich Klaus, a Russian chemist, in 1844 while analyzing the residue of a sample of platinum ore obtained from the Ural mountains.
		Ruthenium tends to occur along with deposits of platinum and is primarily obtained as a byproduct of mining and refining platinum.
		Ruthenium is also obtained as a byproduct of the nickel mining operation in the Sudbury region of Ontario, Canada.

	Chemistry : Periodic Table : ruthenium : key information
		The industrial extraction of ruthenium is complex as the metal occurs in ores mixed with other metals such as rhodium, palladium, silver, platinum, and gold.
		Sometimes extraction of the precious metals such as iridium, rhodium, platinum and palladium is the main focus of a partiular industrial operation while in other cases it is a byproduct.
		The extraction is complex because of the other metals present and only worthwhile since ruthenium is useful as a specialist metal and is the basis of some catalysts in industry.

		Ruthenium was initially discovered in 1808 by J.A. Sniadecki at the University of Vilno, Poland and then again by G.W. Osnann in 1828 at the University of Tartu, Russia.
		Ruthenium is a rare member of the platinum group of metals (abundance 0.001 ppm in the earth’s crust).
		It is relatively unreactive, and is used as an alloying element with platinum and palladium to produce alloys which have improved wear resistance, and with titanium to improve the material’s corrosion resistance.

		Pure ruthenium, a cool white metal, is rarely used by itself because it is extremely difficult to work.
		It remains hard and brittle even at temperatures as high as 1500°C. Ruthenium is, however, a useful addition to platinum and palladium to impart hardness in certain jewellery alloys and to improve resistance to abrasion in electrical contact surfaces.
		Ruthenium is also being used in certain catalytic applications in today's gas to liquids technology to generate various sulphur-free, high-quality fuels.

	SPI-Chem Ruthenium Tetroxide Kit - SPI Supplies
		Ruthenium, because of its high atomic number, enhances image contrast just as is the case for osmium when examining certain rubber modified polymer systems as well as certain life science specimens.
		Because of the higher reactivity of ruthenium relative to osmium tetroxide, there actually are a number of systems that won't stain hardly or at all with osmium tetroxide but will stain quite readily with ruthenium tetroxide.
		We are not certain that is especially applicable to users of the SPI-Chem ruthenium tetroxide kit, where the active species is generated "on the spot" and the staining is essentially done from the vapor state, on sections.

		In 1844 he showed that Osann's Ruthenium oxide was very impure and that it contained a new metal.
		Klaus decided to give the name Ruthenium appropriate for new element, since Russia was the major producer of these metals and in recognition of Osann's work.
		He sent samples to Berzelius in 1845 resulting in Berzelius's announcement that Ruthenium is indeed a new element.
