For 1-3mm ruthenium granules, the MOQ is 1kg. We support small-batch R&amp;D orders and large-batch industrial orders. Please contact us for detailed specifications and pricing information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q2: What are ruthenium granules used for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Ruthenium granules are widely used in catalysts, chemical processing, electronic materials, and electroplating applications. They play a key role in improving reaction efficiency, enhancing electronic performance, and increasing surface durability in advanced industrial processes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q3: Is ruthenium rarer than gold?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Yes. Ruthenium is a rare platinum group metal (PGM) and is significantly rarer than gold. Due to its limited natural abundance and complex extraction process, ruthenium is considered a high-value strategic material for advanced technology applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruthenium metal granules are granular materials with ruthenium (Ru) as the main component.
