Platinum Refining Process and Process Conditions

     

1. Leaching

Platinum chlorination leaching is carried out under specific temperature and acidity conditions, with strong oxidants such as aqua regia and sodium chlorate (NaClO₃) as reactants. In this step, all base metals and precious metals are oxidized and dissolved into the solution, while silver forms silver chloride precipitate and remains in the solid residue. After the chlorination residue settles completely, filtration is performed, and the filter residue is washed with 3N hydrochloric acid until it turns colorless.

2. Neutralization

The leachate has a relatively high acidity. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is added to adjust the pH to 1, followed by filtration. The obtained filter residue is washed with hydrochloric acid pre-adjusted to pH 1 until no color remains.

3. Platinum Precipitation

At a specified temperature, ammonium chloride is added to the filtrate collected after neutralization and filtration until no more yellow precipitate is generated upon further addition of ammonium chloride. The feed solution is then rapidly cooled to room temperature, left to stand for clarification, and filtered afterwards. The filter residue is washed 2 to 3 times with 10% ammonium chloride solution at ambient temperature.

4. Roasting

Note: An obvious input typo is present in the original Chinese text. The mistyped term in the original actually refers to ammonium chloroplatinate, the solid precipitate collected from the platinum precipitation step.

The ammonium chloroplatinate is placed in a muffle furnace for roasting. Under high temperature, ammonium chloroplatinate decomposes into light gray platinum sponge. After being taken out, the platinum sponge is ground, and then subjected to repeated processes including chlorination, neutralization, oxalic acid-based gold removal, ammonium chloride platinum precipitation, and roasting. The above purification procedures are repeated several times until platinum powder with relatively high purity is obtained.
