Ruthenium ndi chinthu chachitsulo cholimba, chosasunthika komanso chopepuka chamitundu yosiyanasiyana, chizindikiro cha mankhwala Ru, ndi membala wa zitsulo zamagulu a platinamu.Zomwe zili m'nthaka ya dziko lapansi ndi gawo limodzi pa biliyoni imodzi.Ndi imodzi mwazitsulo zosowa kwambiri.Ruthenium ndi yokhazikika mwachilengedwe ndipo imakhala ndi kukana kwamphamvu kwa dzimbiri.Ikhoza kukana hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid ndi aqua regia pa kutentha.Ruthenium ili ndi katundu wokhazikika komanso kukana kwa dzimbiri.Ruthenium nthawi zambiri imagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati chothandizira.

Ruthenium ndi chothandizira kwambiri cha hydrogenation, isomerization, oxidation, ndi kusintha machitidwe.Chitsulo choyera ruthenium chili ndi ntchito zochepa kwambiri.Ndiwolimbikitsira kwambiri platinamu ndi palladium.Gwiritsani ntchito kupanga ma aloyi olumikizana ndi magetsi, komanso ma aloyi olimba olimba.
