The embodiment of the invention relates to a method for recovering
iridium from deliquescent
iridium chloride, and belongs to the technical field of
precious metal recovery. The method for recovering
iridium from deliquescent
iridium chloride provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps: dispersing deliquescent
iridium chloride in a cosurfactant to obtain an
iridium chloride solution; the method comprises the following steps: firstly, adding a pH
regulator to regulate the pH value of an iridium
chloride solution; then adding strong base to generate iridate, and heating in an
oil bath until the strong base is completely dissolved to obtain a mixture solution; and putting the mixture solution into a reaction kettle for
hydrothermal reaction to obtain a product, washing the product with an
organic solvent for multiple times,
drying the product, and calcining the product in an
inert atmosphere to obtain pure-phase
metal elementary substance iridium. The method provided by the embodiment of the invention is wide in applicability, has the advantages of being high in
platinum group
metal recovery rate, simple, convenient, feasible, safe, low in production cost, green, energy-saving, environment-friendly and the like, and has remarkable
economic benefits and wide market popularization value.
