Rhenium is a very dense, high-melting transition metal in group 7, chemically related to manganese and technetium but far less abundant in the crust. It is notable for retaining strength at extreme temperature and for forming stable high oxidation states, especially +7. Natural rhenium occurs mainly as a trace substitute in molybdenite rather than as separate ores, making it a by-product metal of copper-molybdenum processing.
The element is silvery white with a metallic luster; its density is exceeded only by that of platinum, iridium, and osmium, and its melting point is exceeded only by that of tungsten and carbon.
The usual commercial form of the element is powder, but it can be consolidated by pressing and resistance-sintering in a vacuum or hydrogen atmosphere. This process produces a compact shape in excess of 90 percent of the density of the metal.
Annealed rhenium is very ductile, and can be bent, coiled, or rolled. Rhenium is used as an additive to tungsten and molybdenum -based alloys to impart useful properties.
The name derives from the Latin rhenus for the Rhine river in Germany. Rhenium was discovered by x-ray spectroscopy in 1925 by German chemists Walter Noddack, Ida Tacke, and Otto Berg.
Rhenium was discovered by the German chemists Ida Tacke-Noddack, Walter Noddack and Otto Carl Berg in 1925. They detected rhenium spectroscopically in platinum ores and in the minerals columbite ((Fe, Mn, Mg)(Nb, Ta)2O6), gadolinite ((Ce, La, Nd, Y)2FeBe2Si2O10) and molybdenite (MoS2). Rhenium is present in these materials only in trace amounts. In 1928, Noddack and Berg were able to extract 1 gram of rhenium from 660 kilograms of molybdenite. Today, rhenium is obtained as a byproduct of refining molybdenum and copper.
Discovery of rhenium is generally attributed to Noddack, Tacke, and Berg, who announced in 1925 they had detected the element in platinum ore and columbite. They also found the element in gadolinite and molybdenite. By working up 660 kg of molybdenite in 1928 they were able to extract 1 g of rhenium.
Pure rhenium is a silvery-white to gray metallic solid with a bright luster when freshly prepared. It is hard, dense, and refractory, with one of the highest melting points among the elements. Powdered rhenium can be darker gray because of surface condition and particle size.
The largest use of rhenium is in nickel-based superalloys for turbine blades and other hot-section components, where small additions improve high-temperature strength and creep resistance. Rhenium is also used with platinum in reforming catalysts for petroleum refining. Tungsten-rhenium and molybdenum-rhenium alloys serve in high-temperature thermocouples, filaments, electrical contacts, and specialized X-ray tube targets. Its radioisotopes ¹⁸⁶Re and ¹⁸⁸Re have been studied and used in limited nuclear-medicine applications.
Rhenium is used in flash lamps for photography and for filaments in mass spectrographs and ion gages, but is most frequently used as an alloying agent in tungsten and molybdenum and as a catalyst for performing certain reactions to a type of hydrocarbon known as an olefin.
It is widely used as filaments for mass spectrographs and ion gauges. Rhenium-molybdenum alloys are superconductive at 10 K.
Rhenium is also used as an electrical contact material because it has good wear resistance and withstands arc corrosion. Thermocouples made of Re-W are used for measuring temperatures up to 2200C, and rhenium wire is used in photoflash lamps for photography.
Rhenium catalysts are exceptionally resistant to poisoning from nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus, and are used for hydrogenation of fine chemicals.
Isotopes in Geochronology
The rhenium-osmium dating method is of special interest for the dating of rhenium-bearing ores, gold deposits, copper-nickel deposits, and meteorites. This method is based on the beta-decay of 187Re (having a half-life of 41.6×109 years) to 187Os, an example of which appears in Fig. IUPAC.75.1 [515] H. M. Baioumy, L. B. Eglinton, B. Peucker-Ehrenbrink. Chem. Geol.285, 70 (2011)..
Isotopes in Medicine
186Re (with a half-life of 89 h) is a beta-emitting radioisotope that is used for cancer treatment, in particular for pain relief in bone cancer and in rheumatoid arthritis (see radiosynovectomy). It is produced from the stable isotope 185Re via the 185Re (n, γ) 186Re reaction [188] S. J. Adelstein, F. J. Manning. Isotopes for Medicine and the Life Sciences, pp. 20–25, National Academy Press, Washington DC (1995).. 186Re is also used for radiolabeling of cancer therapeutic agents [188] S. J. Adelstein, F. J. Manning. Isotopes for Medicine and the Life Sciences, pp. 20–25, National Academy Press, Washington DC (1995).. 188Re (with a half-life of 17 h) is used to irradiate coronary arteries with beta particles during insertion of an angioplasty balloon (a tiny balloon that is inserted into an artery and inflated to flatten plaque build-up and improve blood flow) and in palliative therapy, particularly for bone metastases. The beta irradiation can decrease scar tissue formation after the overstretching of arteries by angioplasty.
Rhenium chemistry spans oxidation states from negative values in carbonyl complexes to +7 in oxo compounds, with +4, +5, and +7 especially important. Perrhenic acid, HReO₄, and perrhenate salts containing ReO₄⁻ resemble perchlorates in charge and geometry but are less oxidizing under many conditions. Rhenium(VII) oxide, Re₂O₇, is the volatile anhydride of perrhenic acid. Rhenium disulfide, ReS₂, is a layered dichalcogenide with lower symmetry than many related sulfides. Dirhenium decacarbonyl, Re₂(CO)₁₀, is a common starting material in organorhenium chemistry.
See more information at the Rhenium compound page.
Massive rhenium metal is generally of low chemical reactivity, but dusts and fine powders present inhalation and fire-control concerns typical of refractory metals. Soluble perrhenate compounds can be absorbed and should be handled as toxicologically insufficiently characterized heavy-metal salts. Radioactive rhenium isotopes pose isotope-specific radiation hazards; their risk depends on half-life, emissions, chemical form, and administered or handled activity.
Rhenium is a trace element with no known essential biological role. In rocks it is commonly associated with sulfide minerals, especially molybdenite, and can be mobilized during weathering as the soluble perrhenate ion, ReO₄⁻. Seawater contains very low concentrations of dissolved rhenium, and marine sediments can record rhenium enrichment under reducing conditions. Industrial releases are mainly linked to mining, smelting, and catalyst handling.
Rhenium is obtained almost entirely as a by-product, principally from molybdenite concentrates generated in porphyry copper-molybdenum mining. During roasting, volatile rhenium oxides are captured from flue dusts and converted to ammonium perrhenate, NH₄ReO₄, or to metal powder. Supply is constrained because production depends on the output and processing choices of other metals rather than on primary rhenium mines. Demand is concentrated in aerospace superalloys and platinum-rhenium catalysts, so recycling from spent catalysts and high-value alloy scrap is important. Substitution is limited in some turbine applications, but alloy design can reduce rhenium content when supply or cost pressures are high.
Rhenium does not occur free in nature or as a compound in a distinct mineral species. It is, however, widely spread throughout the earth's crust to the extent of about 0.001 ppm. Commercial rhenium in the U.S. today is obtained from molybdenum roaster-flue dusts obtained from copper-sulfide ores mined in the vicinity of Miami, Arizona and elsewhere in Arizona and in Utah.
Some molybdenum contains from 0.002% to 0.2% rhenium. More than 150,000 troy ounces of rhenium are now being produced yearly in the United States. The total estimated Free World reserve of rhenium metal is 3500 tons. Rhenium metal is prepared by reducing ammonium perrhentate with hydrogen at elevated temperatures.
Rhenium is cosmically rare. Its stable and very long-lived isotopes are produced mainly by neutron-capture processes in earlier generations of stars, followed by dispersal into interstellar material. In planetary bodies it behaves as a siderophile and chalcophile trace element, so it partitions into metal and sulfide phases rather than forming abundant silicate minerals.
- Rhenium was one of the last stable elements to be discovered.
- Natural rhenium is dominated by ¹⁸⁷Re, which is radioactive with an extremely long half-life.
- The ¹⁸⁷Re-¹⁸⁷Os decay system is used for dating some sulfide ores and meteorites.
- Rhenium has a higher boiling point than any other element under standard tabulations.
- Perrhenate, ReO₄⁻, is often used as a nonradioactive chemical analogue for pertechnetate, TcO₄⁻.
