Abstract

The invention discloses a method for recycling platinum group metal from ineffective automobile catalysts. The method includes the steps of (1) mechanical activation, (2) high-temperature roasting, (3) ball-milling water immersion, (4) diluted acid leaching and (5) platinum group metal refining. Platinum group metal enriched products obtained in the step (4) are processed according to existing refining processes, so that platinum group metal products are obtained. The ineffective automobile catalysts are processed through the method of combining mechanical activation, sodium salt roasting, water immersion and acid leaching, the reaction activity of materials is improved through mechanical activation, phase transformation of catalyst carrier components occurs due to sodium salt roasting, insoluble residues are enriched with the platinum group metal after water immersion and acid leaching, and separation between carriers and the platinum group metal is achieved. Equipment needed for the method is conventional metallurgical equipment, the technological process is simple, industrial implementation is easy, and the total recovery rate of the platinum group metal is larger than 98%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of secondary resource recovery of platinum group metals, in particular to a method for recovering platinum group metals from an exhausted automobile catalyst. Background technique [0002] my country's platinum group metal mineral resources are very poor, and the prospective reserves are less than 350 tons. At present, my country is in a period of rapid economic development, and the consumption of platinum group metals is increasing year by year. It has become the world's largest consumer of platinum group metals. In 2012, my country's annual demand for platinum group metals reached about 140 tons, accounting for about 20% of the world's total. According to statistics, my country's automobile production in 2011 was 18 million. With the failure of catalysts and the scrapping of automobiles, the spent catalysts replaced each year contain 25-40 tons of platinum group metals. As the service life of catalysts reaches its ...
