Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of precious metal element recovery. Specifically, it particularly relates to a device for separating platinum and rhenium from waste platinum catalysts. Background Art

[0002] Pt-Re / Al 2 O 3 Reforming catalysts are widely used in the petroleum and chemical industries. Among them, platinum, as a precious metal, is scarce in resources and has a high added value. The annual scrapped amount of reforming catalysts used in the petrochemical industry is huge, which contains rich secondary platinum resources and has important recycling significance. In traditional hydrometallurgical recycling processes, ion exchange resins or solvent extraction are usually used to separate platinum and rhenium. However, there is inevitably a small amount of rhenium in the recovered platinum. Therefore, ion exchange or extraction separation cannot achieve complete separation of platinum and rhenium. The existence of rhenium limits the value-added utilization of secondary platinum resources. Therefore, developing a new process for the deep separation of platinum and rhenium and improving the purity of secondary platinum resources are extremely important for enhancing the value-added utilization of secondary platinum resources.

[0003] Currently, the existing methods for separating platinum and rhenium have certain limitations. Ion exchange and extraction separation involve the use of organic reagents, and it is difficult to deeply separate platinum and rhenium. At the same time, they have disadvantages such as high pollution, high energy consumption, high cost, and low separation purity.
