What are Platinum Palladium Rhodium Chemical Refining Equipment Systems?
Platinum Palladium Rhodium Chemical Refining Equipment Systems are designed for the efficient recovery and purification of noble metals (PGMs) from a variety of sources, including spent catalysts, electronic waste, and jewelry scrap. Our systems utilize advanced hydrometallurgical and electrochemical refining processes to ensure purity greater than 99.95% while minimizing environmental impact.
What types of Platinum Palladium Rhodium Chemical Refining Equipment Systems are there?
Platinum Palladium Rhodium Chemical Refining Equipment Systems provides three refining systems: hydrometallurgical, electrochemical and hybrid, which are optimized for different raw materials and purity requirements to ensure fast recovery and high purity output.
Hydrometallurgical Refining Systems: It is mainly suitable for the treatment of catalytic converter waste, industrial waste and low-grade PGM raw materials. Its process includes pretreatment, dissolution, separation and purification, and reduction. This process can treat waste with complex components, and the recovery rate can reach more than 98%.
Electrochemical Refining Systems: Used for the production of high-purity platinum, palladium and rhodium (such as electronic grade and jewelry grade PGM). The process includes anode dissolution, electrolytic deposition, melting and casting, etc., which can increase the product purity to 99.99%. It is suitable for high-end applications, but the energy consumption is relatively high.
Hybrid Refining Systems: By combining the high recovery rate of the chemical method with the high purity of the electrolytic method, the overall efficiency is increased by more than 20%, and it can be used to treat high-complexity waste (such as automotive catalysts containing rhodium and ceramic carriers).
