Abstract
Volatility of radioruthenium at room temperatures was preliminarily studied. Sulphuric acid solution containing ruthenium is placed in a glass tube with KIO4 as an oxidizing agent and tube is stirred slowly. Ruthenium is gradually oxidized and significant quantities is volatilized as the gaseous tetroxide. The influence of agitation time and concentration of stable ruthenium, sulphuric acid and oxidizing agent on volatilization were studied.
