摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the recovery and refining of rhodium starting from a mixture containing rhodium and other transition metals, including those of the platinum Group, as well as metals of the main Groups, said process comprising the following passages: a) formation of an adduct between rhodium trichloride and a halide of a metal selected from metals of Groups IIA, IIIA, IVA, IVB, VB and VIB; b) carbonylation of the precipitated adduct, deriving from passage a) with the formation of rhodium halogen carbonyls and c) sublimation of the carbonylated product obtained in the previous passage. The main advantage of the above process consists in the production of an extremely pure product, with excellent yields.
摘要:
A hydrometallurgical treatment process for extracting platinum group metals from a flotation concentrate in which the invention revolves around obviating the matte smelting and granulating process. Instead the concentrate is submitted to pressure leaching, oxidative or reductive roasting and final recovery by means of ion exchange adsorption. Roasting is applied in order to convert the platinum group metals to a form that dissolves in chlorine/HCL and a chlorine/HCL leach that renders the platinum group metals in solution.
摘要:
A method for selectively separating and recovering palladium from an aqueous palladium/tin catalyst solution. The method includes the steps of adjusting the pH of the aqueous solution to a specified pH range thereby precipitating the tin, and producing a soluble form a palladium. The solution can be either pre-filtered or settled and subsequently processed through ion exchange resin in a conventional manner, or processed in an upflow direction through an at least partially fluidized bed of ion exchange resin to remove and concentrate the palladium for recovery.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for recovering a metal from a metal containing material by autoclaving with an autoclave which includes an agitator that includes a first inlet for a recycled oxygen-containing gas, a second inlet for a fresh oxygen-containing gas, an impeller having a plurality of outlets to recirculate or introduce the oxygen-containing gases into the slurry and a set of mixing blades located below the outlets to radially disperse gas bubbles substantially uniformly throughout the slurry. The outlets for the gas can be located in an intermediate set of blades for thorough dispersion of the gas bubbles in the slurry.

A method for extracting osmium and ruthenium from noble metal concentrates, by: a) treatment of a noble metal concentrate containing osmium and ruthenium with nitric acid at a maximum temperature of about T=+30° C., b) heating of the resultant suspension/solution to a minimum temperature of about T=+85° C.; c) capturing the resultant osmium tetroxide in an absorption solution; d) treatment of the suspension/solution having a temperature of about T=+20° C. to 30° C. with hydroxide at a maximum reaction temperature of about T=+65° C.; and e) treatment of the alkaline suspension/solution from step d) with a substance for the oxidizing leaching of the ruthenium.
摘要:
A method of leaching sulphidic material that contains metals and arsenic under oxidising conditions and with the aid of microorganisms is characterised by mixing the material with an acid aqueous solution to form a pulp, and in that the material is leached in a first leaching stage at a pH of below 2 and at a temperature that ranges from room temperature to about 55° C. in the presence of an active quantity of microorganisms of the mesophilic and/or moderately thermophilic type, wherewith the major part of the arsenic content of the material and possibly also part of its metal content is/are leached-out and the arsenic leached from said material is oxidised successively to a pentavalent state. The remaining leachable metal content of the material is leached-out in a following leaching stage in the presence of an active quantity of an extremely thermophilic micro-organism and at a temperature within the active range of said micro-organism, said temperature being higher than the temperature in the first stage. The pH is suitably raised in the second stage to a level at which the pentavalent arsenic present in solution is caused to transform to a solid state and precipitate-out as a metal-containing arsenate which is separate from the leaching solution together with unleached material in the pulp after termination of the leaching process.
摘要:
Precious metal values, e.g., platinum, palladium and rhodium, and, optionally, other valuable elements, e.g., one or more rare earths and cerium in particular, are recovered from a wide variety of compositions of matter and articles of manufacture, for example waste or spent catalysts such as vehicular postcombustion catalysts, by (i) optionally comminuting such composition/article into a finely divided state, (ii) intimately admixing the composition/article with sulfuric acid, (iii) calcining the resulting admixture at a temperature ranging from 150° to 450° C., and (iv) leaching the calcined admixture in an aqueous medium, whether simultaneously or separately, with H+ ions and chloride ions, whereby obtaining (1) a solid residue substantially depleted of such precious metal values and, optionally, of such other elements, and (2) at least one liquid solution comprising such precious metal values and, optionally, such other elements.
摘要:
An ore separation process is provided which begins with a specially designed primary grinding mill. The primary grinding mill grinds the ore into a fine powder which is then blown into the primary sizing baghouse which separates the smaller particles from the larger particles. The oversized particles are channeled to the secondary grinding mill where they are ground again and blown to the secondary sizing baghouse. The grinding process is repeated until all the ore is the proper size. Once the ore has been ground to the proper size it is sent to the ore-roasting oven where it is mixed with a precise amount of air where it is flash heated which initiates the process of separating the values from the wastes. From the ore-roasting oven, the heated ore is channeled to the quench chambers where it is cooled very quickly which results in the breaking up of the ore into its constituent components.

The invention relates to a method for separating and recovering rhodium from reaction products of oxosynthesis, especially reaction products containing cobalt. The invention also relates to the reuse of rhodium as a catalyst for hydroformulation and to a catalyst for hydroformulation itself. The inventive method is characterized by the following: extraction of the organic solution with an aqueous phosphate solution or a phosphate solution, water washing, oxidative treatment of the organic phase, and extraction of the organic phase with an aqueous water-soluble arylphosphine solution.
