Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive exhaust purification technology, and in particular to a method, system, and application for detecting the platinum, palladium, and rhodium content in automotive exhaust purification catalysts. Background Technology

[0002] There are two main types of catalyst supports for automotive exhaust: cordierite and metallic. Currently used catalysts are mostly cordierite-type supports coated with platinum group metals. Because cordierite supports are extremely stable and insoluble in acids and alkalis, and due to the transformation of Al2O3 crystal form in the high-temperature exhaust gas, the platinum group metals are encapsulated, making them difficult to separate and accumulate. This poses a significant challenge to the direct detection of platinum group metals in waste automotive exhaust catalysts.

[0003] Current traditional detection methods have significant limitations: while fire assays can enrich precious metals, the recovery rate of rhodium is low, and lead contamination is severe; wet acid dissolution treatment is prone to incomplete dissolution due to the corrosion resistance of the catalyst support (such as alumina and cordierite), affecting the accuracy of detection. In addition, problems such as interference from coexisting metals and cumbersome procedures further restrict the detection efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, there is an urgent need to develop a detection method with high recovery rate, low pollution, and wide applicability to achieve accurate quantification of trace platinum, palladium, and rhodium in complex matrix catalysts, providing the industry with a reliable analytical tool.

[0005] Therefore, this invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0035] Firstly, a method for detecting platinum, palladium, and rhodium content in automotive exhaust purification catalysts is provided. This method can achieve accurate quantification of trace amounts of platinum, palladium, and rhodium in complex matrix catalysts with a high recovery rate. At the same time, it avoids the use of polluting elements, is green and efficient, and is more in line with the concept of green chemistry.

[0036] Includes the following steps:

[0037] S1. The catalyst sample is crushed, ground, and passed through a 200-mesh sieve. It is then subjected to microwave acid hydrolysis, neutralized and washed with 3wt%-7wt% H3BO3 until pH=7.0, and then dried at 100℃-120℃ for 2h-3h to obtain dry filter residue.

[0038] S2. Add a collector and a flux to the dry filter residue, heat it at a constant temperature of 890℃-910℃ under an inert gas for 25min-35min, and then quench it in water at 300℃ for 2s-5s to form the alloy buckle.

[0039] S3. Blow the alloy ash, then add mixed acid to it, heat in a 95℃ water bath for 25min-35min to obtain a solution, then add a masking agent to the solution and shake to obtain the test solution;

[0040] S4. Filter, dilute to volume, and test the test solution;

[0041] The trapping agent is a ternary alloy trapping agent of bismuth, tin and copper;

[0042] The trapping agent is prepared by mixing bismuth, tin and copper in a mass ratio of (50-70):(20-30):(10-20).

[0043] This invention utilizes microwave acidolysis. Microwave energy effectively accelerates the destruction of the cordierite or Al2O3 support structure by mixed acid, completely breaking down the cordierite encapsulation, eliminating support interference, and releasing platinum group elements. Simultaneously, a ternary alloy of bismuth, tin, and copper is used as a collector. This alloy of three elements can efficiently collect platinum, palladium, and rhodium in the molten state, forming easily separable alloy phases. The ternary alloy's rhodium collection efficiency is >95%, effectively solving the problem of low rhodium recovery in traditional fire assay methods and further improving the recovery rate. Furthermore, bismuth is used to replace lead, significantly reducing lead pollution. A flux lowers the melting point and promotes phase separation; an inert gas prevents oxidation loss. High-temperature ash blowing removes base metals from the alloy and enriches precious metals. The addition of mixed acid completely dissolves the precious metal-enriched phase and breaks down residual oxide encapsulation. Finally, a masking agent is added to complex Cu. 2+ Interfering ions are eliminated to avoid detection interference.

[0044] The formulation of the precipitant was optimized. Bismuth, as the main precipitant, has a low melting point, which can significantly reduce the melting point of the entire alloy system and improve the fluidity of the molten state. This allows the precipitant to fully contact the sample melt and efficiently "capture" dispersed platinum group metal (PGM) particles. The noble metal alloy formed after melting has a high density, which is easy to separate from the slag phase (molten slag) with a lower density, thus improving the recovery rate. Bismuth has similar chemical properties to lead, which can meet the basic requirements for being a precipitant, but it is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, achieving the goal of "green chemistry" and avoiding the harm of lead to the environment and operators.

[0045] Tin can regulate the melting point, further enhance the fluidity of the alloy, and increase its affinity for rhodium. Rhodium readily forms stable intermetallic compounds with tin (such as RhSn2). In the molten state, tin can effectively "pull" rhodium into the alloy phase, significantly solving the problem of low rhodium recovery (usually <85%) in the traditional lead assay method.

[0046] Copper enhances the mechanical strength of alloys, as bismuth and tin alloy buckles are typically soft and brittle. The addition of copper (melting point 1083°C) creates a stronger metallic network structure, resulting in alloy buckles with high mechanical strength and resistance to breakage, facilitating subsequent soot blowing and forming processes. Simultaneously, copper optimizes the surface tension of the molten alloy, improving its wettability and trapping efficiency for PGMs. Copper itself also possesses some trapping ability for platinum and palladium, creating a synergistic effect with Bi and Sn. By optimizing the proportions of these three metals, the molten surface tension is increased, thereby enhancing the trapping ability of precious metals and effectively improving their trapping efficiency.

[0047] In this invention, the contents of the three metals are simultaneously limited to ensure that bismuth remains within this range. This ensures that the alloy is still based on bismuth and maintains a low eutectic melting point (the melting point of the Bi-Sn-Cu ternary alloy can be below 300°C), resulting in excellent fluidity at a heating temperature of 900°C. At the same time, the high bismuth content ensures that the alloy has sufficient density to separate from the slag. If the content is too high, the alloy becomes too soft, lacks mechanical strength, and is prone to collapse during ash blowing. The effective component in the total amount of the collector is relatively reduced, which may affect the collection efficiency of Rh; if the content is too low, the alloy melting point increases, the fluidity deteriorates, and the collection effect decreases; the density decreases, which may lead to incomplete slag-metal separation.

[0048] The amount of tin used optimizes rhodium capture. This ratio provides sufficient tin to react fully with trace amounts of rhodium to form stable compounds, which is crucial for achieving a rhodium recovery rate >95%. Simultaneously, this ratio forms good eutectic compounds with Bi and Cu without significantly increasing the alloy's melting point. Excessive tin increases the alloy's oxidation tendency, potentially forming more tin oxides during ash blowing. These oxides can coat PGMs, causing losses and making the alloy brittle. Conversely, insufficient tin content fails to effectively capture all rhodium, leading to a decrease in rhodium recovery and failing to address the core issue.

[0049] The optimal copper content achieves the best mechanical properties. This proportion is sufficient to form a robust mesh structure, significantly improving the hardness and flatness of the alloy buckle, enabling it to withstand the physical stress of subsequent high-temperature dust blowing without cracking. Simultaneously, this copper proportion has minimal negative impact on melting point and fluidity; excessive copper significantly increases the overall melting point of the alloy, potentially leading to poor fluidity at the set temperature and affecting collection efficiency. Too much copper will also introduce more Cu after dissolution. 2+ Ions increase the burden on the masking agent and create potential interference. When the amount used is insufficient, the alloy buckle is not strong enough, is brittle, and is easily damaged during transfer and dust blowing, resulting in physical loss of PGMs.

[0050] In this invention, the three metals have distinct roles and work synergistically to achieve a 1+1+1>3 effect, which not only significantly simplifies the detection steps and reduces the reaction temperature, but also effectively improves the detection accuracy.

[0051] In some embodiments, in step S2, the temperature of the isothermal heating under inert gas is 900±10℃, and the heating time is 25min-30min; the flow rate of the inert gas is 2L / min.

[0052] In step S2, heating conditions are controlled to ensure the fluidity of the alloy, allowing the ternary alloy to melt completely and efficiently capture platinum, palladium, and rhodium. At the same time, the flow rate of inert gas is controlled to balance oxidation and volatilization of precious metals, ensuring the stability of the reaction, fully capturing platinum, palladium, and rhodium, ensuring the capture effect, and avoiding the loss of precious metals.

[0053] In some embodiments, in step S3, the temperature of the ash blowing is 950±5℃, and the blowing time is 30min-40min.

[0054] At around 950℃, it can oxidize base metals while retaining precious metals. This prevents base metal residue due to insufficient time or precious metal loss due to excessive time, improves enrichment purity, and reduces subsequent acid consumption and interference.

[0055] In some embodiments, the trapping agent is prepared by mixing bismuth, tin, and copper in a mass ratio of (50-70):(20-30):(10-20);

[0056] The flux is prepared by mixing sodium tetraborate and silicon dioxide in a mass ratio of (1-3):1.

[0057] In some embodiments, the trapping agent is prepared by mixing bismuth, tin, and copper in a mass ratio of 65:25:15;

[0058] The flux is prepared by mixing sodium tetraborate and silicon dioxide in a mass ratio of 2:1.

[0059] Sodium tetraborate and silicon dioxide are mixed in a 2:1 mass ratio to form a eutectic, which promotes slag-metal separation.

[0060] In some embodiments, the mixed acid is formed by mixing mixture 1 and mixture 2 at a volume ratio of 30:1;

[0061] Mixture 1 is a mixture of 37wt% HCl and 65wt% nitric acid in a volume ratio of 3:1;

[0062] Mixture 2 contains 0.5 wt% HF.

[0063] The mixed acid consists of aqua regia mixed with a low concentration of hydrofluoric acid. On the one hand, aqua regia can dissolve platinum, palladium, and rhodium, while the hydrofluoric acid can further clean the remaining SiO2 or cordierite residue after ash blowing. On the other hand, the low concentration of hydrofluoric acid can reduce equipment corrosion and avoid excessive fluorine interfering with detection.

[0064] In some embodiments, the masking agent is a 1 wt% thiourea solution.

[0065] Thiourea and Cu 2+ A stable complex [Cu(SCN2H4)4] is formed. 2+ This eliminates the spectral interference of Cu on ICP-AES detection, thereby improving the accuracy of platinum, palladium, and rhodium detection.

[0066] In some embodiments, the acid in the microwave acidolysis is a mixture of 40wt% HF and 65wt% HNO3 in a volume ratio of 1:3;

[0067] The reagent used in the neutralization and washing step is 5 wt% H3BO3.

[0068] Hydrofluoric acid can destroy aluminosilicate carriers, nitric acid can oxidize organic matter, and boric acid can generate stable fluoroborate, neutralize residual HF, and prevent equipment corrosion.

[0069] In some embodiments, the drying step in step S1 specifically involves drying at 110℃-120℃ for 2-3 hours.

[0070] Furthermore, it was dried at 110°C for 2 hours.

[0071] In some embodiments, the specific step of cooling and forming in step S2 is to pour the molten material into a mold preheated to 300°C and quench it in water for 1s ≤ water quenching time ≤ 5s.

[0072] The following is a detailed explanation using specific embodiments:

[0073] Example 1

[0074] A. Microwave acidolysis pretreatment

[0075] The sample was crushed to 200 mesh using a vibratory sample preparation machine. 10g of sample was weighed and mixed with HF (40wt%) and HNO3 (65wt%) in a ratio of 1:3 to maintain the total acid volume at 50mL. The sample was then filtered to obtain the filter residue. The filter residue was rinsed with 200mL of 5wt% H3BO3 solution to bring the pH of the filter residue to 7.0.

[0076] The filter residue was then placed in an oven and dried at 110°C for 2 hours to obtain dry filter residue.

[0077] B. Ternary alloy smelting and enrichment

[0080] Preheat the magnesia crucible to 900℃, take 1g of dry filter residue, and simultaneously load the ternary alloy and flux into the magnesia crucible. Then, pass argon gas through the crucible at a flow rate of 2L / min and heat it at a constant temperature for 30min until the material is in a molten state. Then, pour the molten material into a mold that has been preheated to 300℃, and then quench it in water for 5s to obtain the alloy buckle.

[0081] C. Combined treatment of ash blowing and dissolution

[0082] Prepare a mixed acid solution: HCl (37wt%): HNO3 (65wt%) in a volume ratio of 3:1, prepare 30mL of the solution to obtain aqua regia; add 1mL of 0.5wt% HF to the aqua regia.

[0095] Melt at 980℃ for 40 minutes to form a lead alloy buckle;

[0096] When the lead buckle is placed in a 950℃ ash blowing furnace, the lead oxide is absorbed by the urn, leaving behind silver alloy particles containing PGMs.

[0097] The silver alloy granules were dissolved in 10 mL of hot nitric acid, filtered, and then diluted to 50 mL.
