Ion chromatography of chloro complexes of the platinum group metals and gold using bonded phase silica substrates

The ion chromatography of chloro complexes of Au(III), Ir(IV), Ir(III), Os(IV), Pd(II), Pt(IV), Rh(III) and Ru(III) was investigated using anion-exchange and ion-interaction techniques involving silica-based phases. Chloride was either absent or at a very low level and the pH was high enough to enable steel-fabricated liquid chromatography equipment to be used. With anion exchange, Ir(IV), Ir(III), Os(IV) and Pt(IV) gave good stable chromatography and all produced linear calibration plots, except Ir(IV) owing to instability of the sample solution. The detection limits were Ir(III) 5, Os(IV) 10 and Pt(IV) 2 ng ml^?1. The ion-interaction technique was not so successful, only Au(III) and Pd(II) giving stable chromatography. The calibration plots were slightly curved, although acceptable, and the detection limits were 10 and 30 ng ml^?1 for Au (III) and Pd(II), respectively.     

Pyrimidinethiol as a reagent for extraction separation of platinum metals and gold Determination of Pd(II), Os(VIII) and Ru(III)

The solvent extraction separation of Pt(IV), Pd(II), Os(VIII), Ru(III) and Au(III) from one another and also from Rh(III) and Ir(III) with 1-(2'-nitro-4'-tolyl)-4,4,6-trimethyl-(1H, 4H)-2-pyrimidinethiol has been investigated. Photometric procedures have been developed for the determination of Pd(II), Os(VIII) and Ru(III) with the same reagent. The reagent allows the enrichment of Pd(II) and Au(III) at the trace level from a large volume of aqueous medium even in the presence of base metals. The method can be used for the determination of platinum metals and gold in alloys.

Exthaktiv-Spekthophotometrische Bestimmung Von Rh(III) in Gegenwart Der Platinmetalle,Gold Und Silber Unter Anwendung Von 1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-Naphthol

Abstract

A spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of 25–150μ;g of rhodium (III) using 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol. One milligram of Ir(III) or Ir(IV), 200μ;g Ru(IV), 400μ;g Os(IV), 350μ;g Pt(IV), 5 mg Ag(I), and 100μ;g Au(III) do not interfere. Larger amounts of silver and gold are removed as AgCl and, after reduction with ascorbic acid, Au metal. A modification of the method permits the successive determination of 4–100μ;g of Hh(III) and 50–500μ;g of Pd(II) in a single sample.     

Application of an imidazoline group-containing chelating fiber for the determination of trace noble metals in superhigh-temperature alloys

An imidazoline group-containing chelating fiber was prepared by means of the reaction of nitrile groups with ethylenediamine in an hydrazine-modified polyacrylonitrile fiber. The adsorption properties of the chelating fiber for Au(III), Pd(II), Pt(IV), Ir(IV), Os(IV), Rh(III) and Ru(IV) ions, such as binding capacity, distribution coefficient, sorptive rate and quantitative elution of Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) ions were investigated. The imidazoline group-containing chelating fiber possessed high binding capacities and good adsorption kinetic properties, exhibited high affinity for noble metals in 0.1-1.0 mol/L HCl and could be efficiently re-used. After the separation of trace Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) ions from a matrix using the chelating fiber, these ions could be determined by ICP-AES with satisfactory results, and the relative standard deviation for Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) ions was less than 6%.     

Influence of tin(II) chloride on the solvent extraction of platinum group metals with N,N-di-n-hexyl-N'-benzoylthiourea

Summary The solvent extraction of Rh(III) and Pt(IV) with N,N-di-n-hexyl-N'-benzoylthiourea (DHBT)/toluene is substantially accelerated in the presence of tin(II) chloride. Low concentrations of SnCl₂ from 0.02 to 0.03 mol/l and metal/ligand ratio of 1:4 (Pt) resp. 1:9 (Rh) lead to low residual metal concentrations below the detection limit of GFAAS. The extraction behaviour of Pt(II), Ru(III) and Ir(III) is not affected by the treatment with SnCl₂.

Sorption of noble-metal ions on silica with chemically bonded nitrogen-containing ligands

A study has been made of the sorption of Ir(IV), Rh(III), Pt(IV), Ru(IV), Os(VIII), Pd(II) and Au(III) from aqueous solutions by silica chemically modified with nitrogen-containing organic ligands, as a function of hydrochloric acid concentration, time of contact, concentration of the element and the ionic strength. Sorption of noble-metal ions at pH > 1 on a sorbent containing monoamine groups seems to be due to a complexation mechanism, and to an anion-exchange mechanism at pH < 1. With aminopropyl-silica 1000-fold concentration of Ir(IV) and Rh(III) from their 10(-8)-10(-7)M solutions was achieved and these metals were subsequently determined on the sorbent surface by X-ray fluorescence. Detection limits were 10-20 ng/ml. There was no interference from 1000-fold quantities of non-ferrous metal ions and Fe(III). With the sorbent containing bonded diethylenetriamine groups, 1000-fold concentration of Au(III) was achieved, and it was then determined on the sorbent surface by an atomic-emission method. Conditions for desorption of Au(III) with pyridine and potassium thiocyanate were developed.     

Vinyl-vinyl coupling on late transition metals through C-C reductive elimination mechanism. A computational study

A detailed density functional study was performed for the vinyl-vinyl reductive elimination reaction from bis-sigma-vinyl complexes [M(CH=CH(2))(2)X(n)]. It was shown that the activity of these complexes decreases in the following order: Pd(IV), Pd(II) > Pt(IV), Pt(II), Rh(III) > Ir(III), Ru(II), Os(II). The effects of different ligands X were studied for both platinum and palladium complexes, which showed that activation barriers for C-C bond formation reaction decrease in the following order: X = Cl > Br, NH(3) > I > PH(3). Steric effects induced either by the ligands X or by substituents on the vinyl group were also examined. In addition, the major factors responsible for stereoselectivity control on the final product formation stage and possible involvement of asymmetric coupling pathways are reported. In all cases DeltaE, DeltaH, DeltaG, and DeltaG(aq) energy surfaces were calculated and analyzed. The solvent effect calculation shows that in a polar medium halogen complexes may undergo a reductive elimination reaction almost as easily as compounds with phosphine ligands.     

Development of liquid-liquid extraction and separation method for ruthenium(III) with 2-octylaminopyridine from succinate media: Analysis of catalysts

Ruthenium(III) has been efficiently extracted from 0.05 M sodium succinate at pH 9.5 by 2-octylaminopyridine in xylene and stripped with aqueous 10% (w/v) thiourea solution and determined spectrophotometrically. Various parameters viz., pH, weak acid concentration, reagent concentration, stripping agents, contact time, loading capacity, aq.: org. volume ratio, solvent has been thoroughly investigated for quantitative extraction of ruthenium(III). The utility of method was analyzed by separating the ruthenium(III) from binary mixture along with the base metals like Cu(II), Ag(I), Fe(II), Co(II), Bi(III), Zn(II), Ni(II), Se(IV), Te(IV), Al(III) and Hg(II) as well as platinum group metals (PGMs). Ruthenium(III) was also separated from ternary mixtures like Os(VIII), Pd(II); Pd(II), Pt(IV); Pd(II), Au(III); Pd(II), Cu(II); Fe(II), Cu(II); Ni(II), Cu(II); Co(II), Ni(II); Se(IV), Te(IV); Rh(III), Pd(II); Fe(III), Os(VIII). The stoichiometry 1: 2: 1 (metal: succinate: extractant) of the proposed complex was determined by slope analysis method by plotting graph of logD _[Ru(III)] versus logC _[2-OAP] and logD _[Ru(III)] versus logC _[succinate]. The interference of various cations and anions has been studied in detail and the statistical evaluations of the experimental results are reported. The method was successfully applied for the analysis of ruthenium in various catalysts, synthetic mixtures corresponding to the composition of alloys and minerals.     

Formazane als funktionelle Gruppen chelatbildender Ionenaustauscher

Zusammenfassung Ein arsonsäure-substituiertes Formazan wird nach der Azokupplungsmethode an Polystyrol gebunden. Das erhaltene chelatbildende Harz ist durch Verteilungskoeffizienten, Kapazitäten und Sorptionsraten für Edel- und Unedelmetalle charakterisiert. In der Gruppe der Platinmetalle und Gold wird folgende Affinitätsreihe gefunden: Pd(II) > Au(III) > Pt(II) > Pt(IV) Os(IV) > Ir(IV) > Ru(III) Rh(III). Unterschiede zwischen theoretischen und praktischen Kapazitätswerten sowie relativ niedrige Elutionsraten werden auf die Multifunktionalität des Harzes zurückgeführt. Pd und Pt sind vom Überschuß an Fe, Cu und Ni abtrennbar und anzureichern.

Formazans as functional groups of chelating ion-exchangersVI. Preparation, sorption and desorption properties of an arsonic acid-formazan modified polystyrene

Summary An arsonic acid substituted formazan is diazo-coupled to polystyrene. The resulting chelating resin is characterized by distribution coefficients, loading capacities and sorption rates for precious metals and base metals. The following order of affinities was found for platinum-group metals and gold: Pd(II) > Au(III) > Pt(II) > Pt(IV) Os(IV) > Ir(IV) Ru(III) Rh(III). Differences between theoretical and practical specific capacities and comparatively slow rates of elution were attributed to the multifunctionality of the sorbent. Pd and Pt can be separated and enriched from an excess of Fe, Cu and Ni.

Pyridine-2-aldoxime and 6-methylpyridine-2-aldoxime as gravimetric reagents for estimation of palladium(II) and uranium(VI)

Pyridine-2-aldoiumc (I) has been found to be a sensitive reagent for the gravimetric determination of palladium(II). From chloride medium, precipitation is complete at pH 3.0-11.0, and in solution containing 1NHNO(3) to pH6.0. The compositions of the precipitates (dried at 130 degrees ) correspond to PdL(2), and PdL(2). HNO(3) (HL representing the reagent) respectively. Pd(II) can be estimated gravimetncally in presence of acetate, oxalate, tartrate, phosphate, fluoride borate, perchlorate, Cu(II), Cd, Co(II), Fe(II), Ni, Zn, Pb, Bi, Sb(III), Pt(IV), Ir(IV), Ru(III), Rh(III); Os(IV) in quantities more than twice that of Pd(II), and Ag(I), Au(III) and Fe(II) even m traces cause serious interference. The yellow uranium(VI) complex with (I) is precipitated quantitatively over the pH range 3.5-10.5 and, after washing and drying corresponds to the composition (c(6)h(5)n(2)o)(2)uo(2), The uranium(VI) complex with 6-methylpyridine-2-aldoxime (II) is precipitated quantitatively over the pH range 3.0-10.5, and after washing and drying at 120-130 degrees corresponds to UO(2),(C(7),H(7),N(2)O)(2). Both (I) and (II) are suitable for the estimation of 1-50 mg of uranium(VI) in the presence of up to 10-fold quantities ofTh(IV), La(III) and Ce(III) even when present together. Ce(IV) in quantities more than three times that of U must be reduced to Ce(III). Tartrate, citrate, phosphate, Ti(IV) and Zr interfere, but acetate, oxalate, and borate do not.     

Ion flotation behaviour of thirty-one metal ions in mixed hydrochloric/nitric acid solutions

The ion flotation of 31 metal ions in hydrochloric/nitric acid solution with the cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride was investigated. A 25-ml portion of 0.27-2.87 x 10(-4)M metal ion and 1.8-6.0 x 10(-4)M cetylpyridinium chloride solution in 0.17-3.4M acid mixture ([HCl]:[HNO(3)] = 2.4:1) was subjected to flotation in a cell, 22.5 cm high and 4.0 cm in diameter, for 5 min, with nitrogen bubbles. Ir(IV), Pt(IV), Ge(IV), Sn(IV), Bi(III), Au(III), Tl(III), Pd(II) and Sn(II) were floated from solution in 95-100% yield; Ru(III), Rh(III), Ir(III), Hg(II), Ag(I) and Tl(I) were partly floated, while Cr(VI), Ti(IV), Zr(IV), Ga(III), In(III), Fe(III), Sb(III), Al(III), Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), CD(II) and Pb(II) were floated with less than 20% yield.

Pd(II), Bi, As(III), Sb(III), Se(IV) and Te(IV) are completely extracted and Au(III) is largely extracted over the range of acid concentration investigated. Fe(II), Tl(I), Rh(III) and Cr(VI) are only slightly extracted and Se(VI), Te(VI), Ru(III), Cr(III), Mn(II), Zn, Ce(IV), Ir(IV) and Ge(IV) are not extracted at all. Depending on the acid concentration, the remaining elements are all partly extracted. Results are compared with those obtained in an earlier study of the extraction of xanthate complexes from hydrochloric acid media. The processes involved in the formation of some xanthate complexes and potential analytical separations are discussed.
