Platinum Group Metal Recovery From Powdery Waste

Номер: US20120000832A1
Автор: Angela Janet Murray
Принадлежит: Individual

The invention relates to a method for increasing the concentration of platinum group metals in urban waste material. The method comprises obtaining particles of urban waste material; screening the particles of urban waste material by size, selecting particles of urban waste material that lie within a defined size range; and processing the selected particles using at least one physical or chemical technique whereby to increase the concentration of platinum group metals to at least 5 ppm. The invention also relates to an apparatus for increasing the concentration of platinum group metals in particulate urban waste material. The apparatus comprises: a drying unit ( 4 ), a particle size screening unit ( 5 ); and one or more processing units for effecting platinum group metal concentration of the particulate urban waste material by physical and/or chemical techniques, in particular a magnetic separation unit ( 7 ) and a froth flotation cell ( 9 ).

Method for platinum group metals recovery from spent catalysts

Номер: US20200032370A1
Принадлежит: Yeda Research and Development Co Ltd

A method for recovery of platinum group metals from a spent catalyst is described. The method includes crushing the spent catalyst to obtain a catalyst particulate material including particles having a predetermined grain size. The method includes subjecting the catalyst particulate material to a chlorinating treatment in the reaction zone at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time period by putting the catalyst particulate material in contact with the chlorine containing gas. The method also includes applying an electromagnetic field to the chlorine-containing gas in the reaction zone to provide ionization of chlorine; thereby to cause a chemical reaction between platinum group metals and chlorine ions and provide a volatile platinum group metal-containing chloride product in the reaction zone. Following this, the volatile platinum group metal-containing chloride product is cooled to convert the product into solid phase platinum group metal-containing materials.

UTILIZATION OF TEMPERATURE HEAT ADSORPTION SKIN TEMPERATURE AS SCALE CONTROL REAGENT DRIVER

The invention provides methods, compositions, and apparatuses for preventing the formation of scale in heap leach process solution distribution systems comprised of piping, spray nozzels, or emitter tubes. Solution distribution system components often become fouled by scale because of local hot spots more prone to form scale than other locations along the systems length. Positioning sensors that detect periods of high temperature stress and adjusting scale control reagent dosage to send the right amount to inhibit hot spot deposition allows for the control of scale without using wasteful excessive amounts of scale control reagents. This can vastly improve scale control performance under high temperature stress conditions while minimizing scale control reagent waste under less severe stress conditions to reduce the total operating cost of running heap leach mining operations which depend upon well-functioning solution distribution systems 1. A process solution distribution system comprising:a pump disposed and adapted to distribute a scale control reagent to at least a portion of the process distribution system in response to a measured or calculated temperature;emitter tubing in fluid communication with the pump and exposed to weather and direct sunlight;optional piping in fluid communication with the pump and the emitter tubing;a section of tubing located within 1000 feet of the pump, the section of tubing comprising the same materials as the emitter tubing, the section of tubing characterized as not being in fluid communication with the pump or emitter tubing;a sensor affixed to the section of tubing, the sensor adapted to measure or calculate the measured or calculated temperature; andoptionally at least one additional sensor.2.

Method for recovering cyanide from a barren solution

Номер: US20170081202A1

A process is disclosed for recovering cyanide used to leach gold or silver from ore. In the course of leaching gold or silver from ore, a barren solution is generated. A portion of the barren solution containing sodium cyanide is recycled to the cyanidation process while blowdown from the barren solution is subjected to pre-treatment, UV photodissociation and pH adjustment. Ultimately, a volatile hydrocyanic acid is formed and is absorbed into a sodium hydroxide solution through the employment of a gas-filled membrane. This forms sodium cyanide that can be recycled and used in the cyanidation process to leach gold or silver from ore.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/736,828, filed Dec. 13, 2012, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.Provided herein are improved processes for the removal of palladium from protected or unprotected 4-amino-3-halo-5-fluoro-6-(aryl)pyridine-2-carboxylates and 4-amino-3-halo-6-(aryl)pyridine-2-carboxylates.U.S. Pat.

More often than not, these herbicides are prepared from coupling reactions involving pyridine-2-carboxylate having either a facile leaving group or a metal derivative in the 6-position of the pyridine ring. Such coupling reactions usually employ a transition metal catalyst, in particular a palladium catalyst such as palladium diacetate or bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) dichloride. For reasons of both product stewardship and economics, it is important to remove and recover the palladium used in the manufacturing process from the herbicide product.K. M. Bullock, M. B.

The invention also provides novel solvent extraction mixtures useful in the processes of the invention. The inventors have found that by simultaneously employing different extraction mechanisms for the extraction of a plurality of different metals, a simple and convenient process for their separation can be achieved. In particular, the inventors have found that the use of different extraction mechanisms for simultaneously extracting metals from an aqueous acidic phase into an organic phase enables the extracted metals to be separated by selective stripping from the organic phase using simple and mild conditions. This process is particularly advantageous as it permits two or more metals to be separated following a single solvent extraction step, because of the ability to selectively strip the metals from the organic phase. 1. A method of separating labile metal species and non-labile metal species present in an aqueous acidic phase , comprising (i) an outer sphere extractant capable of extracting the non-labile metal species into the organic phase; and', '(ii) a coordinating extractant capable of coordinating with the labile metal atom of the labile metal species,, '(a) contacting the aqueous acidic phase with an organic phase comprisingwhereby the labile and non-labile metals are extracted into the organic phase, then contacting the organic phase with water or an acidic aqueous solution to provide a first aqueous solution comprising non-labile metal species, and', 'contacting the organic phase with an aqueous phase comprising a complexing reagent capable of complexing with the labile metal atom of the labile metal species to provide a second aqueous solution comprising labile metal species., '(b) selectively stripping the metals from the organic phase by'}2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the non- ...
