The application relates to the technical field of
platinum recovery, and particularly discloses a method for purifying and recovering
platinum. The method for purifying and recovering
platinum comprises the following steps: extracting chloroplatinate ions from a liquid to be purified by using an organic extractant, the liquid to be purified being an
aqueous solution in which platinum exists in the form of chloroplatinate ions, and separating an organic phase; the organic extractant is obtained by dispersing 2-(thiophenylmethyl) diethyl
phosphonate in methyltrioctylammonium
chloride; reacting the chloroplatinate ions in the organic phase with an aqueous
reagent, separating the organic phase and the aqueous phase, back-extracting platinum into the aqueous phase, and separating the aqueous phase; adding a
reagent to the aqueous phase to convert the platinum into a precipitate; separating the precipitate, and calcining to obtain elemental platinum. The methyltrioctylammonium
chloride and 2-(thiophenylmethyl) diethyl
phosphonate synergistically extract the chloroplatinate ions with
high selectivity, have extremely high extraction capacity, reduce the amount of the organic extractant, and reduce the pressure of subsequent treatment of the organic extractant.
