They also found rhenium in gadolinite and molybdenite. [5] In 1928 they were able to extract 1 gram of the element by processing 660 kg of molybdenite. In 2020 a memorial medal of the discovery was issued by ISTR (art-designer: Igor Petrov). [6] [7]
Rhenium has one stable isotope, rhenium-185, which nevertheless occurs in minority abundance, a situation found only in two other elements (indium and tellurium). Naturally occurring rhenium is only 37.4% 185 Re, and 62.6% 187 Re, which is unstable but has a very long half-life (~10 10 years).
Chile has the world's largest rhenium reserves, part of the copper ore deposits, and was the leading producer as of 2005. [98] It was only recently that the first rhenium mineral was found and described (in 1994), a rhenium sulfide mineral (ReS 2) condensing from a fumarole on Kudriavy volcano, Iturup island, in the Kuril Islands. [99]
Naturally occurring rhenium (75 Re) is 37.4% 185 Re, which is stable (although it is predicted to decay), and 62.6% 187 Re, which is unstable but has a very long half-life (4.12×10 10 years). [4] Among elements with a known stable isotope, only indium and tellurium similarly occur with a stable isotope in lower abundance than the long-lived ...
His car was discovered about 5 miles away from the restaurant where he was last seen. Missing 30-year-old last seen at wings restaurant is discovered dead, Texas cops say Skip to main content
Missing SpaceX employee's body found, identified. Deputies and U.S. Border Patrol Agents retrieved the body at 10 p.m. and positively identified the swimmer, the department said.
Despite helping family members look for the missing woman, the ex-boyfriend eventually admitted killing her, cops say.
Rhenium–osmium dating is a form of radiometric dating based on the beta decay of the isotope 187 Re to 187 Os. This normally occurs with a half-life of 41.6 × 10 9 y, [ 1 ] but studies using fully ionised 187 Re atoms have found that this can decrease to only 33 y. [ 2 ]
