The invention provides a method for recovering
platinum group
metal from a waste automobile exhaust purification catalyst, and belongs to the field of
precious metal recovery. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out crushing and
impurity removal pretreatment on the waste catalyst to obtain
solid residues; mixing the obtained
solid slag with alkali liquor, and performing hot-pressing activation to obtain active
slag; leaching the active
slag by using an acid leaching
system of
hydrochloric acid-
hydrogen peroxide-
sodium chloride to obtain a leaching solution enriched with
platinum group metals; adjusting the acidity of the
leachate, adding a first adsorption material, selectively adsorbing
platinum and
palladium, and separating supernate and a platinum /
palladium enrichment material; adjusting the acidity of the supernate, adding a second adsorption material, selectively adsorbing
rhodium, carrying out
solid-liquid separation, and collecting a
rhodium enrichment material; respectively eluting and refining the platinum /
palladium enrichment material and the
rhodium enrichment material, and recovering platinum, palladium and rhodium; through the optimally designed
recovery method of alkaline hot-pressing activation-mild acidic directional leaching-two-stage magnetic
adsorption separation, efficient
recovery of platinum, palladium and rhodium in the waste automobile exhaust catalyst is realized.
