An object of the present invention is to provide a process for recovering ruthenium at a sufficient recovery rate from a solid in which a ruthenium compound is supported on a carrier. The present invention relates to a process for recovering ruthenium, comprising the following steps (1) to (3): (1) bringing a solid in which a ruthenium compound is supported on a carrier, into contact with a reducing gas, to thereby reduce the ruthenium compound; (2) cooling the solid obtained in the step (1) to 250&#xb0; C. or lower under an atmosphere of a non-oxidizing gas; and (3) mixing the solid obtained in the step (2) with an oxidizing solution, to thereby dissolve ruthenium in the solution.

The rear face side of the welding part is covered by a backing member having a thermal conductivity of 30 W/mK or lower, and then a columnar probe of a rotary tool comprising an Ir alloy is inserted into the front face side of the welding part to weld the metallic materials together. On the front face side of the welding part, inactive gas is supplied into a shield cover. The rotary tool is moved along a longitudinal direction of the welding part while rotating the rotary tool, whereby the metallic materials are welded together. By using the rotary tool comprising an Ir alloy, the refractory metals can be welded to each other by means of friction stir welding.
