摘要:
A process for the production of a purified PGM selected from the group consisting of platinum and rhodium from an impure PGM source, the process comprising (a) obtaining an anhydrous PGM halide from the impure PGM source; (b) treating the PGM halide with carbon monoxide at an effective temperature; pressure and time to form the PGM carbonyl halide; and (c) (i) wherein the PGM is platinum, heating the platinum carbonyl halide at an effective platinum decomposition temperature to produce the purified platinum; (ii) wherein the PGM is rhodium, heating the rhodium halide at an effective rhodium decomposition temperature to produce the purified rhodium; and (iii) wherein the platinum carbonyl carbonyl halide and the rhodium carbonyl halide are in a gaseous mixture, effecting step (i) at a temperature lower than the rhodium effective decomposition temperature prior to effecting step (ii). The process is of particular value in the recovery and recycle of PGM materials from vehicle exhaust catalytic converters.

In a process for producing an ultrafine powder of a metal by subjecting a transition metal carbonyl compound to gas phase pyrolysis reaction, the improvement which comprises diluting said carbonyl compound with an inert gas or hydrogen to a concentration of 3 vol. % or less with optional addition of an oxygen-containing organic compound and/or a sulfur-containing organic compound in an amount of 0.0001 to 0.1 mol per mol of said carbonyl compound to prepare a gas mixture, and then carrying out gas phase pyrolysis reaction at 300.degree. C. or higher by allowing said gas mixture to reside for 5 seconds or less in a reaction system to which a magnetic field of 100 gauss or higher is being applied, thereby obtaining the ultrafine powder of said metal having a length of 1 micron or less, a coercive force of 800 oersted or higher and a saturation magnetization of 120 emu/g or higher.

Fluid bed reactors for decomposing metal carbonyls and comprising a vertically disposed, elongated vessel for confining a bed of fluidized particulate material are provided with heating coils, that can be heat exchange coils through which heating fluid is passed or electrical resistance heating coils, in the lower part of the reactor and fluidized bed so that the lower portion of the fluidized bed functions as a heating region while the upper portion functions as a decomposing zone. The lower and upper portions of the fluidized bed are volumetrically proportioned to provide substantially equal gas velocities to promote conveyance of heated particulate material from the heating region to the decomposing region. A process for decomposing metal carbonyls is also disclosed in which separate heating and decomposing regions in a fluidized bed are established and a metal carbonyl is introduced into the decomposing region via a water-cooled lance to be decomposed on heated particulate material.

摘要:
Polycrystalline metal whiskers are made by feeding carbonyl of ferromagnetic metals (such as Fe, Co or Ni) into an oxygen free decomposition chamber so as to give 10-4 to 10-10 moles per c.c. of the chamber, against a falling temperature gradient, the metal atoms produced forming chain like aggregates under the influence of a magnetic field. Further carbonyl vapours of ferro- or paramagnetic (such as Mo or W) metals are then fed through the chamber with the temperature of the chains being kept sufficient for coherent deposition of the metals until the whiskers are of the desired thickness. The carbonyl supplied to the vapourizer may be liquid or as a solid carried in an inert solvent. Non metals or metal compounds may be included in the carbonyl vapour for deposition on the chains simultaneously with the metal. Oxidation, carburization or nitration of the metals can be carried out simultaneously with the deposition of the metal or in between successive layers thereof. The fibres produced by the method of the invention may be cold rolled, cold pressed or cold welded and sintered.
