Ruthenium nimwe mubintu bya platine. Gukoresha cyane ni ugukora katali. Imyanya ya Platinum-Ruthenium irashobora gukoreshwa muri Cantalyze methanol lisansi hamwe na karuboni ya dioxyde; Grubbs Catalests irashobora gukoreshwa kuri Olefin Metathhesis reaction. Byongeye kandi, ibice bya ruthenium birashobora kandi gukoreshwa mugukora induru zijimye za firime kandi nkabakuramo urumuri mumarangi-gukangurira imirasire.

Ruthenium ni ubwoko bw'icyuma cyiza hamwe na catalytic yinyuma kandi ikoreshwa muburyo bwinshi, nkibisubizo bya sydrogenation hamwe nibisubizo bya cataletititique. Usibye ibiranga inshoti za Ruthenium, nano-Ruthenium bifite ibiranga nano-ibikoresho byo hejuru bya "kanayisi ya kantu".
