Abstract

This article demonstrates possible separation of Pd(II), Pt(IV), and Rh(III) ions from chloride solutions by solvent extraction in rotating coiled columns (RCC). The most common reagents used for extraction of platinum metals were selected as extractants: trioctylamine (TOA), methyltrialkylammonium chloride (MTAA), tributyl phosphate (TBP), and relatively new reagent—N,N,N',N'-tetra-n-octyldiglycolamide (TODGA). The completeness of extraction of platinum metals from individual and mixed hydrochloric acid and chloride solutions has been analyzed as a function of the essence and concentration of extractant, acidity of the analyzed solutions, and other factors. Optimum conditions of quantitative extraction of the metals from model hydrochloric acid and chloride solutions into the extractant phase have been determined, including subsequent selective separation at the re-extraction stage. A flowchart has been proposed for multistage extraction of Pd(II), Pt(IV), and Rh(III) using 0.05 M MTAA solution in toluene as a stationary phase in RCC. The flowchart includes extraction of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) ions from the solution (0.1 M HCl + 30 g/L Cl–) into the organic phase upon simultaneous separation of Rh(III) remaining in the aqueous phase and consecutive re-extraction of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) from the organic phase using 0.01 M solution of thiourea in 0.1 M HCl and 1 M solution of thiourea in 0.5 M HCl, respectively. The flowchart has been verified for separation of platinum metals in the production process of preset composition. The degree of metal extraction after processing by 0.05 M solution of MTAA in in toluene and consecutive re-extraction by solutions of thiourea is 99.5% for rhodium(III), 99.9% for palladium(II), and 97.4% for platinum(IV). The extracted aqueous phases of rhodium and platinum after output from the column did not contain impurities of other platinum metals. In the aqueous fraction of palladium, the platinum content was 0.5%.
