In addition, many potential reagents, such as complexes of chlorine, mercury, or sulfur, are mostly highly corrosive or toxic. Therefore, these traditional industrial methods cannot perfectly extract precious metals without polluting the environment.
[0003] Furthermore, due to the volatility of acetonitrile and dichloromethane, existing precious metal dissolution methods make it difficult to recover acetonitrile and dichloromethane, resulting in solvent waste. Utility Model Content

[0006] The reflux condenser includes a reflux condenser installed on the reaction flask. A diffusion cap is provided at the upper end of the reflux condenser. The diffusion cap has several overflow holes. The length of the overflow holes extending inward from the diffusion cap is less than the wall thickness of the diffusion cap. The diffusion cap is connected to the reflux condenser.
[0007] The condensation reflux pipe includes a pipe body and a reflux pipe installed inside the pipe body. The length of the reflux pipe is greater than the length of the pipe body and is arranged in a spiral shape. The reflux pipe is internally continuous and its end is connected to the inner cavity of the diffuser cap.

[0023] Figures 1-3 This is one embodiment of the present invention, addressing the specific problem that currently, the most common industrial methods for dissolving precious metals are cyanidation and aqua regia treatment, which are toxic, harmful, and highly corrosive. Furthermore, many potential reagents, such as complexes of chlorine, mercury, or sulfur, are highly corrosive or toxic. Therefore, these traditional industrial methods cannot perfectly extract precious metals without polluting the environment. Additionally, due to the volatility of acetonitrile and dichloromethane, existing precious metal dissolution methods make it difficult to recover these substances, resulting in solvent waste. To address the above-mentioned problem of difficult solvent recovery, this solution provides a photocatalytic precious metal recovery solution condensation and circulation device. It utilizes a condensation reflux pipe 41 installed on the reaction flask 3 to achieve more efficient solvent utilization through water condensation reflux. After condensation by the condenser pipe, the vapor is refluxed into a colorless liquid, which is then transported to the dissolution reaction vessel for recycling.
[0024] A solution condensation and circulation device for photocatalytic recovery of precious metals includes a plate 1. A support rod 2 is vertically mounted on one end of the plate 1. A reaction bottle 3 and a condensation reflux device 4 are mounted on the plate 1 at one end of the support rod 2. The condensation reflux device 4 includes a condensation reflux pipe 41 mounted on the reaction bottle 3. A diffusion cap 42 is provided at the upper end of the condensation reflux pipe 41. The diffusion cap 42 has several overflow holes 43. The inward extension length of the overflow holes 43 and the diffusion cap 42 is less than the wall thickness of the diffusion cap 42. The diffusion cap 42 is connected to the condensation reflux pipe 41. The diameter of the diffusion cap 42 is larger than the diameter of the condensation reflux pipe 41. The diffusion cap 42 is interference-fitted onto the condensation reflux pipe 41. In order to increase the tightness of the connection, a rubber layer is attached to the inside of the connection between the diffusion cap 42 and the condensation reflux pipe 41.
[0025] The condensate return pipe 41 includes a pipe body 411 and a return pipe 412 installed inside the pipe body 411. The length of the return pipe 412 is greater than the length of the pipe body 411 and is arranged in a spiral shape. The return pipe 412 is internally continuous and its end is connected to the inner cavity of the diffuser cap 42. The pipe body 411 has an inlet 413 and an outlet 414. The inlet 413 is located lower than the outlet 414, and both the inlet 413 and the outlet 414 are connected to the pipe body 411 for water to enter and exit. External flowing water enters from the inlet 413 and gradually floods the pipe body 411, wrapping the return pipe 412 for heat exchange, and then flows out from the outlet 414. The return pipe 412 is cooled by the flowing water and produces steam condensation. After it diffuses into the diffuser cap 42, the cavity inside the diffuser cap 42 increases the surface area for steam adhesion. In addition, the overflow hole 43 provided on the diffuser cap 42 enhances the heat exchange between the cavity inside the diffuser cap 42 and the outside air, thus increasing the effect of steam condensation.
[0026] The support rod 2 is provided with several fixed connecting rods 5 that slide on it. Each fixed connecting rod 5 includes a fixed sleeve 51 that is sleeved on the support rod 2. A connecting rod 52 extends from one end of the fixed sleeve 51 toward the condenser reflux device 4. A tie-position sleeve 53 for supporting the reaction bottle 3 or the reflux pipe 412 is installed at the extended end of the connecting rod 52. The tie-position sleeve 53 is semi-annular and has a single-position opening. An outwardly extending end plate 55 is installed on the structure at the opening end of the tie-position sleeve 53. A bolt for adjusting the distance between the two end plates 55 is connected between them. The support rod 2 has several symmetrically arranged fixing slots 6. The fixing slots 6 are equidistantly arranged. The fixed sleeve 51 has two inner holes 54 that are adapted to the fixing slots 6. The inner holes 54 are symmetrically arranged on the fixed sleeve 51 and are filled with bolts that are screwed inward. The connecting rod 52 consists of a connecting fixing sleeve 51, an end rod 521, and an indirect rod 522. The indirect rod 522 connects the two end rods 521, and the end rods 521 and indirect rods 522 are threaded together. Both ends of the indirect rod 522 have internal threaded grooves, and the ends of the end rods 521 and indirect rods 522 that meet are provided with external threads. Rotating the indirect rod 522 can achieve the overall contraction or extension of the connecting rod 52. The fixed connecting rod 5 and the fixed groove 6 provided on the support rod 2 can fix the support rod 2 and the condensation reflux device 4 at a certain distance and maintain their stability on the shelf 1 through the fixed connecting rod 5. Furthermore, the alignment of the inner hole 54 on the fixing sleeve 51 with the fixed groove 6 enhances the installation stability on the support rod 2.

The power supply is also common knowledge in the field.
