[0002] The type platinum palladium concentrate is rich in platinum, palladium, gold, silver, copper, nickel and other valuable metals, and traditional roasting leaching or full wet leaching is used, which produces large amount of slag, complex leaching solution composition, difficult waste liquid treatment, or complex process for recovering precious metals, which is difficult to recover poor copper, nickel and cobalt, or simple process for recovering poor copper, nickel and cobalt, which is difficult to recover main component precious metals, resulting in high production cost, which leads to ineffective comprehensive recovery of resources. Therefore, exploring scientific and reasonable recovery process has become a technical problem to be solved in the industry.
[0003] CN117051252A discloses a method for separating and recovering nickel, copper, cobalt, gold, silver, platinum and palladium from platinum palladium concentrate. The patent uses first smelting and first blowing to obtain high-nickel matte, then uses high-temperature normal pressure and high-pressure kettle for high-temperature high-pressure oxidation acid leaching, and then recovers valuable components by step crystallization and separation.

Secondly, the method uses high-pressure equipment to oxidize sulfide at high temperature, which requires high design and material of process equipment, higher capital investment, and higher operation and maintenance level. In addition, the method returns the first blowing slag to the smelting link for processing again, which inevitably increases the smelting material quantity and leads to high smelting cost.
