The invention discloses a method for recycling
palladium from a
palladium-contained waste catalyst. The method comprises following steps that firstly, waste pre-treatment, wherein composite liquid isadopted for eluting the
palladium-contained waste catalyst, filtering is carried out, and palladium-contained filter residue is obtained; secondly, palladium formation through
palladium oxide reduction, wherein a
reducing agent and the palladium-contained filter residue are used for having a reaction, the
palladium oxide in the waste residue is reduced into elementary substance palladium; thirdly,acid soluble operation to obtain palladium ions, wherein
organic acid haves a reaction with the elementary substance palladium, and an acid
solution system existing in a
palladium ion state is obtained; fourthly, replacement to obtain palladium, wherein a
metal replacement method is adopted to carry out replacement on the palladium ions in the acid
solution system, and
sponge palladium is obtained; fifthly, palladium refining, wherein
hydrogen is further used for reducing the
metal palladium, and high-purity
metal palladium is obtained. The organic composite liquid is used for eluting the palladium-contained waste catalyst, the problems of
high energy consumption and environment
pollution in the prior art are solved, the process flow is short, and the problems that in the current palladium recycling technology,
energy consumption is high, and the recycling rate is low are solved.
