Extractive separation and spectrophotometric determination of palladium and platinum with dithizone in the presence of stannous chloride

The conditions [acid used, presence of chloride and tin(II)] for the extractive separation and spectrophotometric determination of palladium and platinum as the dithizonates Pd(HDz)(2) and Pt(HDz)(2) have been examined. In the absence of stannous chloride platinum does not undergo extraction. Conditions for the separation and determination of these metals in the presence of mercury, gold and copper, which are also extracted with dithizone into carbon tetrachloride or chloroform under the conditions suitable for palladium (1M sulphuric acid/0.1M hydrochloric acid), have been defined. The mercury and gold dithizonates are formed quickly and can be removed before the palladium and platinum compounds have had time to form. They can be decomposed with iodide. Copper dithizonate is decomposed by reduction with tin(II). The proposed procedure has been applied to the determination of palladium in technical platinum metal.     

Extractive separation of platinum from macroamounts of palladium using triphenylphosphine oxide and its successive spectrophotometric determination by the stannous chloride method

Trialkylphosphine oxides extract more effectively chloride complexes of platinum than of palladium(II). Of the examined tributylphosphine (TBPO), trioctylphosphine (TOPO), and triphenylphosphine (TPPO) oxides the latter one makes possible best separation of these metals.The extraction of platinum with TPPO from solutions containing platinum and palladium unfavorably decreases with increasing palladium concentration. Using 0.1 M TPPO solution in dichloroethane, at HCl concentration 7.5 M, it is possible to separate 2–200 μg Pt/ml at a palladium concentration not higher than 10 mg/ml.Separation of platinum from macroamounts of palladium has been combined with spectrophotometric determination of platinum by means of stannous chloride. The method has been applied to the analysis of palladium for platinum content.

A new on-line cloud point extraction system coupled to inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry was designed for simultaneous extraction, preconcentration and determination of trace amounts of platinum and palladium in platinum-palladium spent catalysts. This was based on the complexation of the metal ions with 1,8-diamino-4,5-bis(hydroxyamino)anthraquinone reagent in the presence of non-ionic surfactant of Triton X-114. After phase separation, the surfactant-rich phase was diluted with concentrated HNO₃ (70%, w/w); the analytes concentrations were determined by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. Several factors influencing the instrumental conditions and extraction were evaluated and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the enhancement factors of the proposed method were 35.4 and 29 for platinum and palladium, respectively. The detection limits were 0.3 and 0.45 µ g L^?1. Finally, the developed method was successfully applied to the extraction and determination of platinum and palladium in platinum-palladium spent catalysts samples and satisfactory results were obtained.

The separation of platinum and palladium by selective extraction of H(2)Pt(SCN)(6) and H(2)Pd(SCN)(4) using a polyTHF-impregnated filter

Platinum and palladium are known to form complexes with the thiocyanate ion in solution. The isolation and separation of both platinum and palladium as thiocyanate complexes is demonstrated by passing them through an organic-impregnated filter (OIF) prepared with polyTHF. Simultaneous extraction is performed by converting both metals into the extractable form. Sequential extraction is achieved by exploiting the difference in the rates of formation for the extractable complexes of the two metals. The extraction of both metals is rapid with quantitative recoveries of platinum with flow rates as high as 600 ml min⁻¹ in small samples, while recoveries from larger volume samples were considerably lower. Once extracted, the metals can be removed from the OIF by conversion to a non-extractable form with a high pH eluting solution. The rapid separation, isolation and preconcentration of both platinum and palladium from aqueous samples is demonstrated.     

Integrated Ion Exchange and Liquid-Liquid Extraction Process for the Separation of Platinum Group Metals (PGM)

A process for concentration and separation of platinum group metals (PGM) by a combination of ion exchange and liquid-liquid extraction is presented. First the PGM metals are dissolved by HC1/C1₁ and then passed through an isothiouronium anion exchange resin, where specific absorption occurs. The thiourea eluate from the resin is converted to the chloride complexes. Further hydrolysis (conditioning) yields an aqueous feed to a liquid-liquid extraction step, with Alamine-336. Platinum and palladium are very well extracted, while most of the other PGM are rejected in the aqueous phase. The liquid-liquid extraction can be used by itself, if the level of the base metals does not exceed the concentration of the PGM ions.

Platinum and palladium are now separated from each other by the selective stripping of palladium with thiourea, and platinum with thiocyanate.

The paper discusses the extraction chemistry of all the steps, and provides also experimental pilot-plant results.

New applications of azamacrocyclic ligands in ion recognition, transport and preconcentration of palladium

This work deals with the evaluation of a synthesized 15-membered triolefinic azamacrocycle containing a NH group, (E,E,E)-1,6-bis(p-tolylsulfonyl)-1,6,11-triazacyclopentadeca-3,8,13-triene (R₂NH), for the selective extraction of palladium and platinum from aqueous chloride matrices prior their analysis by ICP-AES. The optimal conditions for liquid–liquid experiments have been evaluated, with special emphasis given to the selection of the organic solvent and the optimal aqueous chloride concentration for the extraction of PdCl₄²⁻ and PtCl₆²⁻. The selective transport and separation of palladium(II) from a mixture of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) was accomplished by means of a supported liquid membrane system containing the macrocycle as carrier dissolved in anethol and 0.5 M thyocianate solution as stripping solution. A C18 cartridge has been activated with the reagent R₂NH in order to test the feasibility of achieving the preconcentration of palladium solutions. Enrichment factors close to the theoretical ones were obtained with the designed system and using thiourea as eluting solution.     

Analysis of Sub-Microgram Levels of Palladium (II) in Environmental Samples by Selective Extraction and Spectrophotometric Determination with N-p-Methoxyphenyl-2-Furylacrylohydroxamic Acid and 5-(Diethylamino)-2-(2-Pyridylazo) Phenol

Abstract

Nine new hydroxamic acids in conjunction with four pyridylazo reagents were explored for extractive separation and spectrophotometric determination of palladium in environmental samples. It was found that maximum sensitivity and selectivity was achieved by employing N-p-methoxyphenyl-2-furylacrylohydroxamic acid (MFHA) and 5-(diethylamino)-2-(2-pyridylazo) phenol (DEPAP). Palladium was first selectively extracted with MFHA in isoamyl alcohol at pH 2.7-3.5 and the extract was equilibrated with a mixture of 5 M HCl and 10^{? 3} M solution of DEPAP in ethanol. The resulting intensely green ternary complex was measured at 560 nm (σ 5.1 × 10⁴ l mole^?1 cm^?1). The extraction system is suitable for enrichment of palladium over 15 times without loss in recovery and enables determination of palladium at levels as low as 10^?4 ppm (0.1 ppb). The method tolerates the presence of a large number of diverse ions normally associated with palladium, including platinum metals, and was employed for the determination of palladium in standard catalysts, biological materials, and freshwaters.
