Platinum (Pt) Elements Specifications

Properties:
Platinum (Pt) is a chemical element with atomic number 78. Like gold Platinum is malleable, ductile, and dense transition metal. Platinum is highly unreactive, and one of the rarest elements on earth. Color is silverfish white. Platinum is placed in the group 10 of the periodic table. Platinum has six isotopes. Because Platinum is very scarce, Platinum is a valuable, precious metal. Being one of the least reactive metals, platinum strongly resists to corrosion despite the high temperatures. Platinum is considered a noble metal. Platinum barely reacts with oxygen at high temperatures. Platinum readily reacts with fluorine at 500 Celsius. Platinum is insoluble in hydrochloric and nitric acid; however Platinum dissolves in hot nitric acid hydrochloride. The most common oxidation states of Pt are +2 and +4. As a soft acid, Platinum has a great affinity for sulfur. Platinum is extremely rare, therefore Platinum is an expensive metal. Platinum is hard to wear out and tarnish, so many prefer it as a jewelry.
Applications:
Platinum is used in Jewelry
Platinum is used in Catalytic converts for vehicles( trucks, buses , cars)
Platinum is used as a Catalyst for the production of silicone, benzene, nitric acid
Platinum is used as a Catalyst to enhance fuel cells
Platinum is used in Computer hard disks, thermocouples
Platinum is used in Optical fibers and LCDs, spark plugs, turbine blades, pacemakers and dental fillings
Platinum is used in Compounds with platinum for chemotherapy drugs
Platinum is used in Lasers and photographic materials
Platinum is used in Dentistry
Platinum is used in Electrical contacts and electrodes

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...
