In order to achieve this object, the present invention oxidizes and roasts waste containing at least one of monometallic ruthenium and ruthenium oxide, melts the roasted material with alkali hydroxide, and then
Ruthenium is recovered by pressurizing the solidified material to be extracted with an aqueous alkali hydroxide solution containing free chlorine.

Waste slag is first subjected to oxidative roasting in the air to oxidize ruthenium in the metallic state, in order to first evaporate the water that it often contains, and then oxidize and decompose carbon and organic compounds other than graphite. Baking is done.

If this roasting process is incomplete and carbon and organic compounds other than graphite remain, they will be dissolved once and some of the ruthenium will be extracted when extracted with an alkali hydroxide aqueous solution containing free chlorine after alkali melting. It may be re-reduced and precipitated, resulting in poor extraction efficiency.

When the waste slag to be treated is powder, the roasted material is often sintered and becomes lumpy, so in order to improve the subsequent reaction efficiency, the roasted material that has become lumpy is pulverized to about -4° mesh. It is preferable to do so.

As the alkali hydroxide, sodium hydroxide is usually used, but other alkali hydroxides can also be used. The amount of alkali hydroxide added cannot be specified depending on the shape of the roasted product, but it is sufficient as long as the amount allows the roasted product to be immersed in the melt when heated and melted, and if the roasted product is pulverized, It is preferably 3-5 parts by weight per 1 part by weight.

The container used for melting may be made of any material commonly used for melting iron, nickel, alumina, etc., but a tray made of iron plate is the most economical. The roasted material and alkali hydroxide are placed in this container, mixed, and then melted. The melting conditions are the usual conditions, with gradual heating up to 600-700°C for 30°C.
It is sufficient to hold it for about a minute.

By alkali melting, ruthenium changes to a state where it can be easily dissolved in an aqueous alkali hydroxide solution containing free chlorine. This is thought to be because the ruthenium oxide swells into a hydrated product due to the alkali hydroxide and becomes porous.

After cooling and solidifying, the melt is heated in a suitable container in an aqueous alkali hydroxide solution containing free chlorine to extract and dissolve the ruthenium. As an alkali hydroxide solution containing free chlorine, it is common to use commercially available hypochlorous acid (hypochlorous acid) (12% free chlorine) as it is or diluted with water, but an aqueous solution of alkali hydroxide It is also possible to use one in which chlorine gas is absorbed. The dissolution conditions vary depending on the shape and properties of the target melted solidified product, but if it is a powdered product, it is preferable to stir the mixture gently for 5 hours at a liquid temperature of 60-70°C.
