Extracting Palladium from Spent Palladium Catalysts

The primary goal of recycling spent palladium catalysts is to extract palladium. Different purification methods are tailored to various types of palladium catalysts, and here we introduce the roasting and leaching purification method.

1、High-Temperature Roasting
Roast the spent palladium catalyst at high temperature. The main purpose is to remove excess impurities in the catalyst, typically organic substances and volatile gases, followed by enrichment of the spent palladium catalyst.

2、Aqua Regia Leaching
Soak supported spent palladium catalysts in aqua regia. Aqua regia, composed of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, boasts strong dissolving capacity. It not only enhances the palladium purification rate but also dissolves other redundant base metals. After leaching, test whether the pH value meets the required standard.

3、Reduction and Separation
Filter out residual solids, collect the leachate, and pour it back into a beaker. Add a reducing agent dropwise to initiate a reduction reaction in the solution. Separate the liquid from the resulting sponge palladium, then filter and wash the sponge palladium thoroughly.

4、Melting and Quality Testing
Retrieve the sponge palladium and dry it. Transfer the dried sponge palladium into a melting crucible for smelting. After completion of melting, weigh the product, calculate the purification rate, and use spectroscopic analysis to detect the purity of the extracted palladium.
