THE PRECIPITATION OF RUTHENIUM FROM NITRATE SOLUTIONS WITH INORGANIC AND ORGANIC SULPHIDES
Journal Article

· J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem.
Certain organic sulfur compounds, such as beta -mercaptopropionic acid and 2,3-diraercaptopropanol-1, were found to be very effective reagents for precipitating ruthenium frora nitric acid solution, The presence in the organic molecule of one or more --SH groups is essential. With trace concentrations of ruthenium, precipitation is aided by coprecipitation of a macro concentration of a heavy metal such as silver(I), copper(II), mercury(II), or molybdenum(III). Although the reaction resembles in many respects the precipitation of ruthenium with hydrogen sulfide, the precipithtion is not due to the formation of sulfide ion but rather to the formation of a very sparingly soluble compound with the organic reagent. Uranium, plutonium, and most fission products other than ruthenium are not precipitated. (auth)
