NOTE: Below is the formulafor recovery of platinum group metals and rhenium from materials using halogen reagents. This guide is intended for small size and expanding cat scrappers that want to take their operation to the next level. This process is not easy, and if your looking for a dummies guide look somewhere else, as I do not want to be responsible for anything that goes wrong. First off I would like to point out that this is extremely dangerous, and should only be performed under optimal conidtions. The formula below is the basics. If you have refined other precious metals in the past and are familar with processing and gepunds, you should find this relatively easy to decipher.
To my entrepreneur friends:
So you wanna learn how to refine platinum and other precious metals from cats.. Well if you found your way here, I must admit I do admire the ambition. Ambition and drive alone will not get you far.. You need a bank roll to refine precious metals. This process can be very hazardous and should not be attempted in someone's backyard, buy a lab or something. JUST KIDDING. Seriously though the guide below may appear overwhelming, but do not be discouraged, it should be unless you have a degree in chemistry. Spendtime and readbooks about precious metal refining, familiarize yourself with the chemicals and process'. And please do not go through with this unless you have a bank roll, and a secure cheap source of cats. The chemicals will set you back, you need mass quantity of cats to work with to turn a profit. As you probably already know this is fairly underground, and when you start asking questions in forums and what not about the refining process, no one know's or wants to play ball. Or you get the core buyer that just want's to buy your cats and notshare their secrets. Can you really blame them?There is still much money to be made in this field, and if you play your cards right you can cash in as well. Readthis guide to the dot, and persue related material. Be safe...GOOD LUCK :)
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to a method for recovering precious metals such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, gold and rhenium using a leaching solution geprising allergen salts and sulfuric acid and/or ammonium salts.
BACKGROUND ART
Platinum group metals (PGM: platinum, iridium, osmium, palladium, rhodium, and ruthenium) are regarded as strategic metals. These metals are used by various industries in multiple ways including automobile, electrical and electronic, dental and medical, petroleum refining and numerous chemical industries. The major source of the platinum group metals is frequently associated with Cu-Ni deposits. These metals usually occur in conjunction with nonferrous metal sulfide ores. Another source of PGM which is begeing important, especially in the U.S., is the secondary source; namely, scrap of ceramics/glass, electrical geponents, and spent catalysts.
About 30 million automobiles are scrapped worldwide every year, of which more than 15 million automobiles are junked in the U.S. There are, in general, three grades of automobile catalytic converters in terms of the PGM content. Grade 1 consists of 1200 ppm of Pt, 200 ppm of Pd and 300 ppm Rh; Grade 2 consists of 1000 ppm of Pt, 200 ppm of Pd, and 100 ppm of Rh; while Grade 3 consists of 875 ppm of Pt, 250 ppm Pd and 30 ppm of Rh. On the other hand, petroleum refinery catalyst, typically contain about 3,000 ppm of platinum and 2,600 ppm of rhenium. The petroleum industry consumes about 5% of the total platinum and 30% of the total rhenium demand in the U.S.
PGM are traditionally recovered by aqua regia, HCI/HNO3 or HCI/Cl2. Because platinum-group metals are very inert, their extraction is very expensive. For example, the extraction of these metals from automobile catalysts is known to be notoriously expensive because of the high cost associated with reagent consumption. The methods used to process these metals tend to dissolve even silica and alumina, which are frequently the base matrix of platinum-group metals. As a result, the process suffers from high acid consumption and severe acid corrosion problems. Recently, researchers at the U.S. Bureau of Mines have developed a hydrometallurgical process where cyanide is used in an autoclave at high temperatures and pressures. Although the metallurgical efficiency of this process is reasonably good, it suffers from the disadvantage of using toxic cyanide as the major reagent and low recovery of rhodium. Furthermore, this process also suffers from high reagent consumption.
