Optimization of Leaching of Platinum Group Metals from Spent Car Catalytic Converters
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Halali, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
The catalytic converter converts 95 to 99 percent of the vehicle exhaust gases into environmentally friendly gases, which are installed between the engine and the vehicle's exhaust cistern. The catalyst contained in the converters includes a ceramic structure commonly used as an alumina, coated with metal catalyst of expensive metals of the platinum group (platinum, palladium and rhodium). The purpose of this project is to optimize the recovery of platinum group metals from automotive catalytic converters by hydrometallurgy by hydrochloric acid and oxygenated water as an additive using Design Expert software. In this project, using the factorial design, the effect of parameters of...
Synthesis, and Characterization of Binuclear Platinum (IV)with Coinage Metals
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jamali, Sirous (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this research binuclear platinum(IV) complexes with coinage metals have been synthesized and characterized. the trimethyl platinum(IV) complex [PtMe3(phthalazine)3]+X- has been prepared by the reaction of [PtMe3(THF)]4 with 3 equiv. phthalazine and used as initial material. The first complex, [PtMe3(µ-(phthalazine)2Cl)PtMe3], synthesized via reaction of 2 equiv. [Pt(Me)3(Phthalazine)3] with 1 equiv. [AuClSMe2]. The second complex, [PtMe3(µ-phthalazine)3Ag][BF4], synthesized by reaction of one equiv. of each compound [Ag(CH3CN)4]BF4 and [Pt(Me)3(Phthalazine)3] And the third complex, [PtMe3(µ-phthalazine)3Cu][PF6], synthesized like second one via reaction of [Cu(CH3CN)4]PF6 and...
Synthesis and Characterization of Multinuclear Platinum Complexes Containing Copper Group Metals and 2,6-Diphenylphosphinopyridin Bridging Ligand
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jamali, Sirous (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this project, we prepared two new tetranuclear clusters with linear Pt2Ag2 and Pt2Au2 metal cores. First, The tetranuclear cluster [Ag2Pt2(Cl2)(bhq2)(μ-(PPh2)2py)2](OTf)2, 1, from the reaction of 1 equivalent of Pt(bhq)Cl(SMe2), with 1 equivalent of AgOTf and μ-(PPh2)2py ligand has been prepared. Secondly, the tetranuclear cluster [Au2Pt2 (μ-(PPh2)2py)2(Cl2)(bhq2)]( PF6 )2, 3, by the reaction of 1 equivalent of the mononuclear complex [Au(μ-(PPh2)2py)2]PF6 with 1 equivalent of PtbhqClSMe2 and μ-(PPh2)2py ligand has been prepared. Structure of complexes has been fully characterized in solution, solid and gas states using multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and ESI-MS...
