rhodium in lcd screen for sale

I used a different tool to separate the glass from the adhesive holding it to the aluminum on the back. I haven"t seen any of those screens your talking about. If you have some clear looking plastic that acts like a magnifying glass, it"s probably a fresnel lens. I"ve got a number here somewhere for a company that recycles and sells LCD screens. You can put some in with the circuit boards to be refined but they don"t want too many in there so they (SIPI) gave me a number but now I can"t find it, might have to call them back. So I put all the little LCD"s in with the boards like from phones games and calculators and save the large ones. That other pane of glass I just broke it up and threw it in with my other screens, I ain"t messing with it.

On May 19, 2011, Deutsche Bank issued db Physical Rhodium ETC securities.Johnson Matthey recently (Nov. 15, 2011) forecast that the metal will remain in surplus (by 123,000 troy ounces (one troy ounce (oz) = 31.10 grams)) in 2011, and now its price has fallen from a "stratospheric" level of over $10,000/oz in June 2008 to "languish" around $1,700 (midprice on Nov. 30, 2011), somewhat lower than that of gold. So, what"s with rhodium?

The platinum group metals, or PGMs, of which rhodium is one, are a group of six metals clumped together pretty much in the middle of the periodic table. The others are iridium, osmium, palladium, platinum and ruthenium. The metal, which is extremely difficult to separate from the other metals with which it naturally occurs (including the other PGMs), is always produced as a byproduct of the extraction of these others; no such thing as a rhodium mine exists.

The English chemist, William Hyde Wollaston discovered the metal in 1803, soon after he discovered palladium and around the same time Smithson Tennant (also English) discovered both osmium and iridium. The rarity of the metal, the fact that it is a byproduct, and the complexity of (and costs involved in) its extraction have all, historically, contributed to robust pricing over the last 80 years, and especially in the last couple of decades.

An autocatalyst, which sits inside a motor vehicle"s catalytic converter (itself placed between its engine and muffler), is a metal, or ceramic, honeycomb coated with PGMs (of which rhodium is one) and various chemicals.

In gasoline-poweredvehicles, the autocatalyst converts over 90 percent of the carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and unburned hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water vapor (often appearing as drips from out of the auto"s muffler). In diesel-powered vehicles, in addition to the equivalent amounts of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide that are converted to more harmless compounds, so too is 30-40 percent of the potentially carcinogenic diesel particulate matter.

Since the first production vehicle was fitted with a catalytic converter back in 1974, their use has flourished and now catalytic converters are fitted to over 85 percent of all the new vehicles sold each year worldwide.

To put the effects they have in context, back in 1960, a gasoline-powered vehicle would typically, for every mile driven, spew out 100 grams of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen. By 2004, this had been reduced to just some 2 grams, and autocatalyst development continues today.

Rhodium, because of its hardness and both its resistance to corrosion and high melting point (higher than that of platinum), is currently used in three main types of glass manufacturing, that of: thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panels, glass fibers and, increasingly, in solar photovoltaic (PV) panels.

In the manufacture of TFT-LCD panels (used in TVs, monitors and displays), platinum and rhodium are used to line the channels, melting tanks and stirring cells, not only because they can withstand temperatures up to 1,650ºC, but also because they are inert. This last is of particular importance, as the glass substrate cannot contain any charge-bearing particles that may interfere with the function of the TFT laid down on it.

In the manufacture of glass fibers, the molten glass is drawn through an array of many tiny, uniform, orifices or nozzles, set in what is called a bushing — essentially just a box out of which they stick. These nozzles are made of a platinum/rhodium alloy.

Finally, rhodium is also used in the manufacture of the glass used in solar panels, which are required to be as defect free as possible and "highly transmissive."

In the chemical industry, rhodium catalysts are used in the production of aldehyde, which, with hydrogenation, leads to an oxo-alcohol, and in the production of acetic acid using the Monsanto process. (According to Johnson Matthey, the rising demand for rhodium in the chemical sector is being driven "by downstream demand for paints and adhesives, particularly in China.")

It will come as no surprise that by far the largest producer of rhodium is South Africa, which, in 2011, is forecast to produce some 650,000 oz out a total global supply figure for the mined metal of an estimated 768,000 oz. Recycling of autocatalysts is anticipated to amount to some 260,000 oz in 2011.

Source: Forecast production figures from Johnson Matthey, who notes that: "Supply figures represent estimates of sales by the mines of primary pgm and are allocated to where the initial mining took place rather than the location of refining."

Since primary rhodium is produced only alongside other PGMs, on the mining front, anyway, no rhodium mining "pure play" exists. And the big rhodium producers are, therefore, necessarily, the big producers of the other PGMs.

Investors can invest directly, buying the physical metal in ingot or as sponge, and "directly" through, e.g., Deutsche Bank"s Physical Rhodium ETC, this last giving the investor an entitlement to the physical metal.

As to the rationale behind an investment in rhodium, there a number of factors that should be carefully considered. Some of the more obvious are: Rhodium is, first and foremost, an industrial metal — with all that implies

There is also one other aspect of investing in rhodium (and some other industrial metals) that should be considered. While, according to Johnson Matthey, net inflows (to late September) to the Deutsche Bank ETC accounted only for about 14,000 oz, were such inflows to become significant, then any investment decision would need to factor in such demand, in addition to that from industry. This can only add further complexity to the investment process.

However, like platinum and palladium, the majority of demand for rhodium comes from the auto industry for its usage in catalytic converters where rhodium catalyzes the reduction of nitrogen oxide to nitrogen.

Rhodium is extracted as a byproduct of platinum mining. Therefore, like platinum, the majority of the world’s rhodium supply (80%) comes from South Africa in the mining region called the Bushveld complex. Rhodium is extremely difficult and costly to extract from other elements in the earth.

The price of rhodium has been very volatile in recent years. From 2004 to 2008, it rose 2,112% from $452 per ounce to $10,000 per ounce only to fall back just below $1,000 per ounce in less than a year. Rhodium stayed near unchanged between around $1,000 per ounces from 2012 to 2016 rhodium traded between 1,800 to as low as $600 per ounce. From 2017 to 2018, the price of rhodium rose almost 150% to nearly $2,500 per ounce. At the end of 2019 rhodium surged to over $5,000 per ounce. Strong demand from China for auto manufacturing and lower supply from South Africa have made rhodium the strongest performing commodity in Q1 of 2020. Rhodium has also started 2021 with a surge to an all-time high of $21,900/oz.

LONDON, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Prices of precious metal rhodium surged to a record high of $7,025 an ounce on Thursday as consumers in the glass-making and auto industries scrambled for scarce supplies, traders said.

Dealers said rhodiumwas quoted at $7,000/$7,050 an ounce, a gain of more than 25 percent since January last year and compared with the previous record high of $7,000 seen in 1980. On Wednesday it was quoted around $6,975/$7,025 an ounce.

Most rhodium is used by car makers in catalytic converters to limit carbon emissions, where regulations have become much stricter and contributed to rising demand for the metal.

Traders say that has been a major factor behind rhodium’s price rise over the last two years. Another is growing demand from glass makers ramping up production of flat panel screens used for televisions and computers.

South Africa is the world’s biggest producer of rhodium, which is a by-product of platinum. Supply disruptions in the country in recent months also have boosted rhodium prices.

During the manufacturing process, the molten glass is fed through a trough that is made out of the alloy, which can stand extreme heat and won’t melt.

Last December Corning announced capital expenditure between $1.5 billion to $1.7 billion to build additional capacity to meet growing demand for large flat-panel televisions.

“We expect that the LCD glass market will continue to grow into the next decade,” said James B. Flaws chief financial officer at Corning said on the company’s website.

Corning has previously said that it expects the overall LCD glass market to reach 1.7 billion square feet of glass in 2007 and to grow again by at least 400 million square feet in 2008.

Rhodium is an incredibly popular precious metal for many reasons. Its biggest draw is arguably the fact that it is trading at an extremely high price, currently over $18,000 per troy ounce, according to Johnson Matthey prices.

We don’t usually tell the histories of precious metals on this blog. But we’ll make an exception in the case of rhodium because the story is so doggone interesting.

Way back in 1803, a British scientist named William Hyde Wollaston used a chemical process to extract rhodium from ores that also contained platinum and palladium. Because the metal is reddish in color, it was named rhodium from the Greek word rhodon, which means “red.”

For a long time, the metal wasn’t widely used, but about 100 years after its discovery, it found its way into laboratory devices that measured high temperatures. Rhodium’s “big break” came in the mid-1970s, when rhodium-containing catalytic converters were first used to reduce the pollutants in automobile exhaust emissions. Since then, the demand for rhodium – both new and recycled – has remained strong.

Rhodium is one of the rarest elements. It is estimated to make up only 0.0002 parts per million of the earth’s crust. The largest known concentrations of it are in the Ural Mountains in Russia, in South Africa, and in Ontario, Canada. Because rhodium is both scarce and expensive to extract from ores, it’s worth a lot and because it is finding increasing use in aerospace, labs, and other applications, its value is almost certain to increase.

The “common knowledge” about rhodium is that it is most commonly found in automobile catalytic converters. But the reality is that not all cat converters contain rhodium – and those that do contain only a tiny amount. Here are some alternative rhodium-containing items that can return higher value to you…Platinum-rhodium alloy mesh, wire, sheet, rods, foil, and tubes that you can reclaim from several industries that include aerospace manufacturing.

Rhodium and rhodium-plated rings, watches, and other items of jewelry. They contain only a tiny amount of rhodium, so you will have to collect a very large number of them to profit from recycling them.

If you do some searching online, you will discover that some items of rhodium-plated jewelry are selling for amazingly low prices – on the order of $30.00 - $100.00. How can that be? It’s because extremely thin layers of rhodium are used as plating. A tiny amount of rhodium is enough to add a bright, shiny surface to a ring or another piece of jewelry.

It is used because it is bright, tarnish-resistant, and abrasion-resistant. It has a beautiful bright finish, not unlike platinum. And it retains all those properties, even when only a thin layer is applied to other metals. If a plating of rhodium is added to silver, for example, that silver becomes more scratch-resistant.

Rhodium can be plated onto gold, silver, platinum, and base metals too. But most of the better quality rhodium-plated jewelry you will find is made of silver that has been given a thin plating of rhodium.

Generally, no. Even though rhodium conducts electricity well, it is no better at doing so than copper, which is far cheaper. So rhodium has not become widely used in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards and other electronic components.

People are buzzing about rhodium these days, for some very compelling reasons. One is that rhodium is trading at a very high price, currently $9,500 on the London Fix. Compare that to gold, which is trading for $1572 or even palladium, which is trading at $2181.

But even more important, the trading price of rhodium is surging. According to Bloomberg, the price of rhodium has increased 12-fold in the last four years, and also shot up 31% in January 2020 alone. That’s not a typo, it really increased by 31% in just one month.

That kind of surge in pricing is music to the ears of anyone who likes to invest in precious metals. And even though rhodium is among the scarcest of all precious metals, it is used in many applications. That means that finding rhodium scrap is not impossible at all. And if you find rhodium scrap and send it to Specialty Metals Smelters and Refiners to be processed, you and your wallet could be in for a very pleasant surprise. The way rhodium prices are headed, you might want to hold onto your scrap in the coming months and even years because prices seem to only be going up.

With rhodium trading for such high prices, even very small amounts can be worth a lot of money. How can you find out whether your scrap contains it? Simple answer, call Specialty Metals Smelters and Refiners at 800-426-2344, tell us what you have, and ask about having your scrap tested to determine whether it contains rhodium. Even if it doesn’t, it could still contain platinum, palladium and other valuable metals, so you stand to profit.

Rhodium is a precious metal that belongs to the platinum group. It is a very rare and expensive element that is extracted from native platinum. A well-known property of the metal is its ability to break down certain substances into their simplest components in a gaseous state. It is known for its high chemical stability to aggressive environments: in this respect it surpasses many other elements.

Wollaston dissolved raw platinum in aqua regia and neutralized the excess acid with caustic soda. From the neutralized solution he covered platinum with ammonium chloride and palladium with mercury cyanide. The filtrate was treated with hydrochloric acid to remove the excess mercury cyanide and evaporated to dryness. The residue treated with alcohol turned out to be a dark red rhodium-sodium salt powder. The rhodium was recovered by heating this powder in a stream of hydrogen.

The largest reserves of rhodium there are today, Mexico (43%) is the frontrunner in terms of gold deposits, as its gold sands are oversaturated with rhodium. This is followed by the South African, Colombian and US supplies.

South Africa is the largest exporter of rhodium (80% by volume). The second largest production country is Russia (11,9%), followed by Canada and Zimbabwe.

The extraction of rhodium from the obtained macro shafts is carried out in an artisanal way (mining). It is complicated by the composition of the ore: the metal is associated with gold, palladium, platinum and copper.

The next step is metallurgy. The concentrated mixture is immersed in an oven and heated to 1500 ° C. The old rock is burned and the slag is removed by blowing it out. The concentrate content rises to 1400 g / ton. -

A solution left over from the platinum refining process is used to release the rhodium. After treatment with chemicals and incineration, the result is almost pure rhodium metal.

Research is currently being carried out on several technologies in order, among other things, to recover rhodium from hazardous waste residues from nuclear power plants. These very cost-intensive new technologies enable a greater production potential of rhodium in the future than from conventional mining. Furthermore, problematic storage of nuclear waste would be reduced in this way.

Iridium or platinum alloys are contained in precision instruments that can measure temperatures of up to 2200 ° C (for example in catalytic converters).

A platinum / rhodium alloy reduces the formation of nitric acid. Such an alloy is used to manufacture exhaust gas neutralizers for motor vehicles. The automotive industry is the main user of rhodium.

They are used to coat mirror surfaces and ultra-precision instruments. This is thanks to the fact that the surface reflects 80% of the light in the visible range of the spectrum and is not clouded by Superfine.

In radio technology, it is mostly not used for the manufacture of components because it is too brittle and unstable. Radio components are simply coated with rhodium. The contacts (reed relays) of the RPS 55 (A), for example, are coated with rhodium.

It has been proven that rhodium compounds are highly toxic carcinogens. However, the amount of rhodium in certified jewelry is harmless to human health.

An alloy of rhodium and copper (or zinc), which is dissolved in hydrochloric acid, filtered and dried, results in a powder. This is because it is a compound that can detonate under normal conditions.

The global rush reached its peak at the end of 2008: At that time, up to 10.1k dollars per troy ounce were in demand on the foreign exchange market, which was ten times more than gold at the same time.

In the last period (December 2019 - December 2020) the price per gram has tripled: from $ 150 to $ 500. In other words, the price was around $ 2021 for an ounce in December 14.100. The all-time high of rhodium was recorded in May 2021 at USD 29.100 per troy ounce.

As with other precious metals, the price of rhodium fluctuates. In the long term, however, it will continue to grow. Science, manufacturing and technology will not do without this metal. However, production capacities are limited and global deposits are finite.
