Rhodium (Greek rhodon meaning "rose") was discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston soon after his discovery of palladium. Wollaston made this discovery in England using crude platinum ore that he presumably obtained from South America. His procedure involved dissolving the ore in aqua regia, neutralizing the acid with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). He then precipitated the platinum metal by adding ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, as ammonium chloroplatinate. The element palladium was removed as palladium cyanide after treatin ...

Naturally occurring rhodium is composed of only one isotope (Rh-103). The most stable radioisotopes are Rh-101 with a half-life of 3.3 years, Rh-102m with a half-life of 207 days, Rh-102 with a half-life of 2.9 years, and Rh-99 with a half-life of 16.1 days. Twenty other radioisotopes have been characterized with atomic weights ranging from 92.926 u (Rh-93) to 116.925 u (Rh-117). Most of these have half-lifes that are less than an hour except Rh-100 (half-life: 20.8 hours) and Rh-105 (half-life: 35.36 hours). There are also numerous meta states with the most stable being Rhm-102 (0.141 MeV) with a half-life of about 207 days and Rhm-101 (0.157 ...

White gold refers to an alloy of gold and other white metals such as silver, palladium, or nickel. The natural color of white gold is light gray, so jewelry made of white gold is typically coated in highly reflective rhodium (sometimes coated in platinum and palladium), adding a more brilliant shine. Palladium and silver alloys are of higher quality than nickel and are sometimes not coated with rhodium. The purpose of plating is to add luster to grayer jewelry, as well as to prevent oxidation of some of the metals found in the alloys. ...

A catalytic converter is a device used to reduce the emissions from an internal combustion engine. Most commonly used in an automobile's exhaust system, catalytic converters are now commonly used on generator sets, forklifts, mining equipment, trucks, buses, trains, and other machines that have engines to provide an environment for a chemical reaction where unburned hydrocarbons are more completely combusted. Automobile converters use platinum or palladium and rhodium as catalysts. Hence the combustion (redox) process continues, but o ...

Rhodium and ruthenium are noble metals produced by nuclear fission, as a small percentage of the fission products. The isotopes of these elements with the longest half-life, which are generated by nuclear fission (isotopes of rhodium and ruthenium which decay by K+-decay or positron decay are not a result of nuclear fission) have half-life times of 45 days and 373.59 days for rhodium and ruthenium, respectively. This makes their extraction from spent nuclear fuel possible, a ...

Electroless plating, also known as chemical or auto-catalytic plating, it is a non-galvanic type of plating method that involves several simultaneous reactions in an aqueous solution, which occur without the use of external electrical power. The reaction is accomplished when hydrogen is released by a reducing agent, normally sodium hypophosphite, and oxidized thus producing a negative charge on the surface of the part. The most common electroless plating method is the electroless nickel plating. < ...

The artificial production of gold is the age-old dream of the alchemists. It is possible in particle accelerators or nuclear reactors, but in practice this is much too expensive. Since there is only one stable gold isotope, Au-197, nuclear reactions must create this isotope in order to produce usable gold. It is therefore not possible to distinguish stable, artificially produced gold from natural gold. Synthesis of noble ...

In a nuclear reactor, the buildup of fission products as reaction poisons in the fuel eventually leads to loss of efficiency, and in some cases to instability. They contribute most of the short and medium term radioactivity of high-level nuclear waste produced from spent reactor fuel. Depending on the quality of the fuel cladding can appear in the primary coolant. In a well designed power reactor running under normal conditions the radioactivity of the coolant is very low, in the BWR reactors the bulk of the activity in the coolant is due to ...

For fission of Uranium-235 the most common radioactive fission products include isotopes of Iodine, Caesium, Strontium, Xenon and Barium. Many of the fission products decay through very shortlived isotopes to form stable isotopes, but also a considerable number of the radioisotopes have half lives longer than a day. Some fission products are useful as beta and gamma sources in medicine and industry, see common beta emitters and commonly used gamma emitting isotopes for more details. Few fission products are alpha particle emitters, but ...

The mixture of radioactive fission products found in the fall out from a nuclear bomb are very different in nature to those found in spent power reactor fuel. This is because the reactor fuel will have had more time for the short lived isotopes to decay. Fission product - Iodine. At least three isotopes of iodine are important. 129I, 131I and 132I A counter measure against the shortlived iodine isotopes (such as 131I), is to take potassium iodide by mouth. ...

Propan-1-ol is a major constituent of fusel oil, a by-product formed from certain amino acids when potatoes or grains are fermented to produce ethanol. This is no longer a significant source of the material. Propan-1-ol is manufactured by catalytic hydrogenation of propionaldehyde. The propionaldehyde is itself produced via the oxo process, by hydroformylation of ethylene using carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as cobalt octacarbonyl or a rhodium complex.

If a graph of the mass or mole yield of fission products against the atomic mass of the fragments is drawn then it has two peaks, one in the area strontium through to palladium and one at iodine through to neodymium. This is due to the fact that the fission event causes the nucleus to split in an asymmetric manner.[1] Yield vs. Z - This is a typical distribution for the fission of uranium. Please note in the calculations used to make this graph the activation of fission products was ignored and the fission was assumed to occur in a single moment rather than a length of time. In this bar chart results are ...

Wollaston is perhaps best known as a chemist. He became wealthy by developing the first physico-chemical method for processing platinum ore in practical quantities, and in the process of testing the device he discovered the elements palladium (symbol Pd) in 1803 and rhodium (symbol Rh) in 1804. In 1809, he showed that niobium and titanium were elements (rather than compounds). He also performed important work in electricity. In 1801, he performed an experiment showing that the electricity from friction was identical to that produced b ...

Ammonia is converted to nitric acid in two stages. It is oxidized (in a sense "burned") by heating with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst of platinum with 10% rhodium, to form nitric oxide and water. This step is stongly exothermic, making it a useful heat source once initiated (delta H = -950 kJ): 4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g) Stage two (combining two reaction steps) is carried out in the presence of water in an absorption apparatus. Initially nitric oxide is oxidized again to yield nitrogen dioxide: 2 NO(g) + ...

Bad quaility (high sulfur) diesel fuel has been used as a palladium extraction agent for the liquid-liquid extraction of this metal from nitric acid mixtures. This has been proposed as a means of separating the Fission product palladium from PUREX raffinate which comes from used nuclear fuel. In this solvent extraction system the hydrocarbons of the diesel act as the diluent while the dialkyl sulfides avt as the extractant. This extraction operates by a solvation mechanism, so far neither a pilot or full scale plant has been constructed to recover palladium, rhodium or ruthenium from waste ...
