Method For Separation Of Platinum From PlatinumContaining Waste Solution

Abstract

This article describes a new technology for the separation of platinum and palladium from solutions
after gold electrolysis. As a result of the research, the presence of platinum metal in the solutions of
the copper smelter of JSC “Almalyk MMC” was determined and work was carried out on its
extraction. The concentration of platinum and palladium in the solution is low, so the method of
forming an inelastic complex during their initial precipitation was used. This was followed by
palladium and platinum refining steps involving several pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical
processes. In the end, positive results were achieved and the developed new technology is applied
to the production of these metals. [1]
