Embodiment
Below explain the present invention.
The objective of the invention is to, from the raw material that contains the platinum group metal element that comprises Ru and/or Rh at least, leach, reclaim Ru and/or Rh.
For example, with usual method with cupric electrolysis body refuse decopper(ing) after, chlorination is leached, by solvent extract reclaim Au after, use SO
2Reduction Se filters from solution.Distill purification in order to make filtering Se improve purity, but a part of platinum group metal metal that is mixing is recovered as the dry residue of Se distillation tower (mainly being Se, Pt, Pd, Ru, Rh, Ir) among Se.
Perhaps after the Se reduction, similarly reduce Te, but this reducing slag is leached Te and filtering residue by caustic soda, leach residue (mainly being Se, Te, Ru, Rh) and reclaim as the Te reducing slag alkali of the undissolved Se of containing, Te, platinum group metal metal.
In addition in recent years, used the automotive exhaust-gas catalysts (mainly being aluminum oxide, Pt, Rh, Pd) and the resistor of platinum group metal metal to be widely used with material (mainly being glass, Ru, Pd), but, in order to utilize the platinum group metal metal again, and need to reclaim, purify.
In the present invention, when the dry residue of described Se distillation tower or Te reducing slag alkali are leached residue as initial feed, preferably in cl gas flow, raw material is heated up, heating, carry out chloridizing volatilization and handle, remove the muriate of the high Se of vapour pressure, Te thus, concentrate Ru and/or Rh.With material (mainly being glass, Ru, Pd) during as initial feed, preferably the method for flotation etc. concentrates Ru and/or Rh with pulverizing with automotive exhaust-gas catalysts (mainly being aluminum oxide, Pt, Rh, Pd) and resistor.If contain moisture, emit water vapour during then because of heating in cl gas flow at this, the chlorine dividing potential drop is temporarily reduced, or the possibility that oxide compound is generated, so preferably dry fully in advance.Drying conditions does not limit especially, but can be in 100~150 ℃, 6~15 hours.Also have, when using the few raw material of moisture, can certainly omit drying process.
The platinum group metal that so obtains is contained thing pulverize, preferred screening is that particle diameter is below 500 μ m.This is that then reaction is difficult to arrive the inside of particle because surpass 500 μ m if platinum group metal contains the particle diameter of thing.
Pulverize, can utilize the method for hammer mill, jaw crusher, roller crusher etc., but not be specially limited.
Sodium-chlor adopts the few purified salt of impurity.If adopt the ordinary salt comprise impurity in a large number, then because dissolve simultaneously at the impurity that leaches Shi Mei etc., the purification of platinum group metal metal is bothersome and be not preferred.In addition because the sodium-chlor of market sale contains moisture, so preferred thorough drying and using.Drying conditions is not particularly limited, but can be in 100~150 ℃, 6~15 hours.
The purified salt particle diameter of market sale is about 200~500 μ m.For this reason, sodium-chlor be pulverized median size is become below the 100 μ m, contain thing with above-mentioned platinum group metal and mix fully.Pulverizing can utilize the method for hammer mill, needle mill, ball mill etc., but is not particularly limited.Median size is disperseed in the ethanol that does not dissolve sodium-chlor, with mensuration such as laser diffractometries.Because the easy moisture absorption caking of the sodium-chlor of pulverizing, thus be preferably at once with platinum group metal contain thing mixes before pulverizing.Also have, pulverize and mixed the mixture that platinum group metal contains thing and sodium-chlor and also can access same effect, still, if pulverize the different material of hardness, the then soft bed course (cushion) that becomes is difficult to obtain crushing effect.
The addition of sodium-chlor, in the solubility chlorination reaction of preferred platinum group metal metal 1~7 times of needed amount.Also have, if the addition of sodium-chlor increases, then because for the total amount in the stove of can packing into, the ratio that is chlorinated the volatilization handled thing diminishes, and the processing efficiency variation is so be preferably 2~5 times scope especially.
If contain aerobic in raw material and chloridized atmosphere, then Ru, Rh generate insoluble oxide compound, rate of recovery step-down.For this reason,, add a spot of carbon dust earlier by when mixing platinum group metal and contain thing and sodium-chlor, thus generation that can the inhibited oxidation thing.
The mixture that method thus obtains is put into furnace pot, in the chlorine atmosphere, carry out chloridizing roasting and handle.The material of furnace pot is preferably quartz, aluminum oxide, graphite etc.The time that chloridizing roasting is handled is not particularly limited, but, by 520~570 ℃ keep 30 minutes~3 hours after, kept 1~10 hour with 700~800 ℃, thereby the platinum group metal metal becomes soluble salt.Also can suppress the decomposition of resultant in order to lower the temperature, preferably keep chlorination atmosphere at least to the temperature below 550 ℃ till.
Preferably 520~570 ℃ of reasons that kept 30 minutes~3 hours be because, the reaction in this stage by platinum group metal element and chlorine, muriate generates, but will be suitable for to the supply of the chlorine of handled thing inside and two aspects of muriatic formation reaction.What table 1 showed is platinum group metal to be contained thing put into quartz crucible, the reactive result when investigation keeps 3 hours in cl gas flow.
From then on the result generates muriatic reaction in the temperature that is lower than 520 ℃ and does not fully carry out.On the other hand, if surpass 570 ℃, then this handled thing shrinks, and the bottom of crucible has unreacted reactant to produce.
In this stage, the chlorine that need supply with requirement early arrives the inside of handled thing, but if surpass 570 ℃, then this handled thing shrinks, and pass through of chlorine worsens, and can't fully supply with chlorine and arrive inside.
700~800 ℃ of preferred reasons that kept 1~10 hour is because in this stage, the reaction of muriate and sodium-chlor by the platinum group metal element generates the Na of solubility
6-nMCl
6, but when being lower than 700 ℃, reaction can't fully be carried out.In addition, if surpass 800 ℃, then because the sodium-chlor of fusion interdicts chlorine, so inner chlorine dividing potential drop reduces the Na of generation
6-nMCl
6Decompose, the rate of recovery reduces.

After this, this handled thing is put into water or dilute hydrochloric acid, leach the platinum group metal metal soluble salt.Be not particularly limited as at this moment condition, but be preferably 50~90 ℃ warm water or dilute hydrochloric acid.The concentration of dilute hydrochloric acid also has when water logging goes out this handled thing, becomes hydrochloric acid tart situation by free chlorine.For this reason, as required, more preferably be adjusted into 0.5~1.5N.
Superfluous filtrations such as sodium-chlor, unreacted carbon dust and unreacted platinum group metal metal, can access the aqueous solution of platinum group metal metal.
