I've been browsing the forum and have seen quite a bit about de-NOxing in Pt purification. I don't think it's necessary. Possibly it's needed from some reason with a mixture of noble metals?
According to Inorganic Syntheses, this is not really a problem. The dissolution of platinum in aqua regia yields hexachloroplatinic acid (H3O)2PtCl6. Some (really old) literature claims that there is considerable nitrosyl contamination as a result, but it turns out that this is a very minor problem. The compound (NO)2PtCl6 is the the culprit, and it is fact formed in very small amounts under the aforementioned reaction conditions, but it is quite unstable in aqueous solution. (Considerable effort is required to obtain this compound in good yield.) So, if your aim is to synthesize hexachloroplatinic acid, you just might be inclined to worry about this since the two can co-precipitate. However, in Pt recovery, you're going for the very poorly soluble ammonium salt, (NH4)2PtCl6. So, the recommended procedure is to evaporate the aqua regia/HCPA solution JUST to dryness to get rid of the strong oxidizers, then redissolve in pure water, then add ammonium chloride. The resulting precipitate will be the ammonium hexachloroplatinate salt, so the small nitrosyl impurity, if present, will remain in solution and just not matter.
