Investigation on Novel Methods of Precious Metals Recovery from Spent Catalysts
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kazemeini, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
High demand and price and restricted availability of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) have made platinum recovery a major field of study for researchers and industries. Various methods have been introduced for this purpose. Ion exchange, leaching and liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) are just a few examples. Nowadays Solvent Extraction (SX) is one of the most challenging areas of study for platinum recovery from spent catalysts due to its simplicity and optimum cost. In this study, the commercial spent catalyst’s platinum was dissolved in aqua-regia after XRF analysis. Then it was extracted by the organic material Trioctylphosphineoxide diluted in toluene in the presence of Alkaline metal salts....
