The application discloses a method for selectively recovering
platinum from waste
nickel-
platinum target material, and belongs to the technical field of
precious metal separation. In the method, different physical forms of the waste
nickel-
platinum target material are treated by using appropriate pretreatment methods. For planing materials, an acidic dissolving agent is used to selectively dissolve
nickel; for block or
ingot materials,
aqua regia is used to completely dissolve and then reduce and enrich platinum. The platinum-containing material obtained through pretreatment is dissolved by using
aqua regia, the pH of the solution is adjusted to 0.2-0.9, a
reducing agent is added to perform a reduction reaction, platinum is selectively precipitated as
platinum black, and then
sponge platinum with a purity of greater than or equal to 99.95% is obtained through
calcination. The method realizes targeted treatment of different forms of waste materials, and through accurate pH adjustment and the synergistic effect of a specific
reducing agent, efficient and
selective reduction of platinum is realized, the residual platinum in the filtrate is less than 0.5 ppm, secondary
recovery is not needed, the process is short, safety is high, the product purity is high, and the method is suitable for industrial production.
