Osmium Market to Grow Substantially during 2017 - 2027 With Key Palyers American Elements, Ceimig Limited, Cleantech and Reade International Corp

Osmium belongs to platinum group family and is obtained when platinum metal is extracted from its ores. Osmium is found in nature alloyed with iridium and as a trace component of many ores such as copper and nickel. Hence, osmium is mainly produced as a byproduct of platinum extraction. It is one of the densest elements found in nature and is blue grey in colour. Osmium is represented by the symbol Os and its atomic number is 76. The metal is hard and brittle, which remains lustrous even at very high temperature. Osmium is generally produced in the form of powder since it is difficult to shape owing to its hardness. The amount of osmium produced per year is trivial, which is less than a ton.

Osmium exhibits low compressibility and has high bulk modulus. Osmium is toxic in nature when it is exposed to air and undergo chemical reaction to form osmium tetroxide. Osmium is highly volatile as well as water soluble in nature and the metal has very low vapour pressure and exhibits high melting point. There are numerous regulations on the use of osmium owing to the aforementioned properties it possess.

Osmium is used in many alloys, which find significant applications in end use industries due to the quality osmium can impose on end products such as corrosion resistance and hardness. For instance, osmium alloys are used to manufacture pen nibs, compass needles, and electrical contacts, among others. Osmium-tungsten was used in filaments of light bulb as well.

Apart from these osmium can be used as a catalyst at industrial levels that increments the market value of osmium considerably. Osmium tetroxide is popularly utilized in chemical industry since it is strongly oxidising and volatile. However, proper precautions need to be taken while using osmium tetroxide in laboratories. The reflectivity of osmium makes it desirable in space based UV spectrophotometer applications as well. The alloys of osmium are used in manufacturing several surgical implants and instruments, due to its inert nature.
