Ruthenium is the least expensive of the platinum group metals, and is an attractive altemative to both rhodium and gold in contact finish applications, as in electronics. Ruthenium in sealed-reed contacts to resist contact sticking, is a noteworthy application. However much ruthenium can be applied for a particular purpose, the availability of satisfactory electroplating processes demands an extensive investigation for the establishment of the same. Hence there is a need to get a standard basic electrolyte which can help getting a good uniform and smooth deposit of ruthenium ontinuously, witbout any deterioration of the electrolyte. Till today there has heen no citation in literatUl-e regarding the same. l11e present paper focuses on the method of preparation of ruthenium platin~ concentrate, it.. st.'lbility with time, and some of its performance characteristics
