The invention relates to the technical field of high-purity
noble metal catalysts, in particular to a preparation method of high-purity
iridium powder, which comprises the following steps:
iridium dissolution and liquid preparation: adding chloroiridic acid into deionized water, stirring and dissolving, and filtering to remove insoluble substances to obtain an
iridium solution A; complexing and precipitating iridium: adding didecyl dimethyl
ammonium chloride into the iridium solution A, heating to 80-90 DEG C, separating out a large amount of yellow precipitate, and filtering when the solution becomes colorless from orange red to obtain iridium-containing precipitate B; recrystallization: adding the iridium-containing precipitate B into deionized water for recrystallization, and filtering to obtain an iridium-containing precipitate C; dissolving the iridium-containing precipitate C to prepare a solution, namely adding the iridium-containing precipitate C into dilute
ammonia water with the pH value of 8-9 to be dissolved to obtain an iridium solution D, and filtering to remove trace insoluble impurities; and reducing to obtain high-purity iridium
powder: adding hydrazine
hydrate into the iridium solution D under a micro-boiling condition for reaction, filtering after reduction to obtain iridium
powder, boiling and washing with
aqua regia, filtering, washing with deionized water, and
drying in vacuum to obtain the high-purity iridium powder.
