Discloses a hydrometallurgical process and system for the recovery of precious metals; specifically palladium, rhodium, and platinum metals, at high purity and with limited waste and environmental fouling. 1. A method comprising:receiving a metals-containing stream containing at least one of silver, gold, copper, lead, cobalt, aluminum, calcium, sodium, bismuth, zinc, iron, nickel, ruthenium, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and arsenic and at least one of rhodium, platinum, and palladium; and a first fraction comprising the at least one of silver, gold, copper, iron, lead, cobalt, aluminum, calcium, sodium, bismuth, zinc, iron, nickel, ruthenium, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and arsenic; and', 'a second fraction comprising the at least one of rhodium, platinum, and palladium and being substantially free of silver, gold, copper, iron, lead, cobalt, aluminum, calcium, sodium, bismuth, zinc, iron, nickel, ruthenium, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and arsenic., 'separating at least a portion of the metals-containing stream into2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:recovering at least one of silver, gold, copper, iron, lead, cobalt, aluminum, calcium, sodium, bismuth, zinc, iron, nickel, ruthenium, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and arsenic from the first fraction.3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:baking at least a portion of the metals-containing stream to produce a baked stream;removing hydrochloric acid from the baked stream;adding water to the baked stream to provide a hydrated metals-containing stream; and,ramping the temperature of the hydrated metals-containing stream to a temperature between about 80° C. and about 31° C.4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:baking at least a portion of the metals-containing stream to apparent dryness for a time less than about 50 hours.5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:baking at least a portion of the metals-containing stream at a pressure between about 1 psia to about 15 psia.6. The method of ...
