Platinum Palladium Rhodium Refining Equipment
Why invest in specialized platinum palladium rhodium refining equipment? These Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) are incredibly valuable but notoriously difficult and hazardous to separate and purify from complex feed materials. Efficient, safe, and high-yield refining is critical for profitability and environmental compliance. Our industry-leading PGM refining machinery is engineered to solve these exact challenges, transforming your scrap and waste into high-purity, investment-grade metal.
Platinum Palladium Rhodium Refining Methods
Platinum Refining
Among the platinum group metals (PGMs), platinum refining boasts the most mature technology. The refining process seamlessly integrates with PGM separation. Feed materials can include crude platinum (>90% assay), platinum-bearing solutions, or stripped solutions from solvent extraction. Key refining methods are the Ammonium Chloride Repeated Precipitation method and the Oxidative Hydrolysis method.
Palladium Refining
The refining process typically connects directly to the separation stage. Feed materials include crude palladium (>90% Pd), palladium chloro-complex acid solutions, or ammonia stripping solutions from solvent extraction. Primary refining methods are the Ammonium Chloropalladate Precipitation method and the Ammonia Complexation Combined Process.
Rhodium Refining
Rhodium refining methods primarily rely on modifying ligands to form specific complexes with distinct properties, states, or structures, enabling separation from other precious and base metal impurities. The process involves two stages: purification of rhodium compounds and production of pure metal. All rhodium refining occurs in solution, requiring initial dissolution of the crude metal.
Platinum Palladium Rhodium Refining Equipment Process Flow
1. Feed Preparation & Analysis
Crushing, Milling (for catalysts), Sampling & Assaying to determine optimal process parameters.
2. Primary Leaching
Selective dissolution of base metals and initial PGM extraction using optimized chemical solutions within our platinum recovery equipment.
3. PGM Separation & Concentration
Advanced techniques including selective precipitation and solvent extraction for PGMs to isolate Pt, Pd, and Rh fractions.
4. Purification
Multiple stage refining (re-precipitation, ion exchange) to achieve ultra-high purity levels for each individual metal.
5. Reduction & Drying
Conversion of purified salts to metal powder or sponge using chemical reduction or thermal methods within our rhodium refining plant.
6. Melting & Casting (Optional)
Production of high-purity ingots or granules using induction melting furnaces.
7. Effluent & Residue Treatment
Integrated closed-loop wastewater treatment system for PGM recovery and environmental compliance. Safe handling and disposal of inert residues.
