Abstract

See full text

The invention provides an apparatus for effectively removing ruthenium when ruthenium is removed from a solution containing platinum group metal by oxidation distillation.The invention provides an apparatus for selectively removing ruthenium from a solution containing ruthenium and other platinum group metal by adding an oxidizer to the solution to convert ruthenium into ruthenium tetroxide, wherein air is sucked into a reaction tank by reducing pressure within the reaction tank, and at least one outlet of the air is arranged in the apparatus such that the lowermost part thereof is located at the height of 5-20 m from the bottom of the reaction tank, whereby the solution within the reaction tank can be effectively stirred without ruthenium tetroxide, which has large specific gravity, being concentrated at the bottom of the reaction tank.
