Catalytic Convertor Recovery Data

[Rag and Bone]

Is there any pre-treament to processing the honeycomb in HCl-clorox?

Would removing some base metal with hot HCl have any benefit?

I just found you guys on the net and would like your opinion of people of your educational level on this subject..

So we acquired some sulfide ore.. stats are as follows and dont know what to do for the next step
sell , set up production, capital needed, creditable refineries that can deal with PGM?

how or who do we take this to production?
or sell to ?
in what state/form ?

Thanks
Chip


Type: Hand-picked secondary crushed sulfide ore
Amount: 500 tn (+/-)
Contents: Platinum Group Metals = Pt/Pd/Rh// Au/Ag

Preliminary Bench Test Assay (minimum) Recovery Results:

Au (Gold) 28.2 troy oz/tn
Pt (Platinum) 48.0 troy oz/tn
Pd (Palladium) 41.8 troy oz/tn
Rh (Rhodium) 57.9 troy oz/tn

Ok, are we trolling?

 

[Scott2357]

Yeah, all posts with the same subject line and the ore assay is amazing... "Rh (Rhodium) 57.9 troy oz/tn" not to mention the rest.

I click the subpost first then I found the right category
sorry for the post I could not undo it

Are they still doing the boards for people? What is an example of a yield on some PC boards?

 

[qst42know]

As I understand Pd is soluable in Hcl. However won't you be leaving Pt behind by skipping the boiling in AR?

 

[Lou]

Don't expect it to dissolve in bulk. As a powder you may have limited success.

Fire assay is an art as well as a sciencel and Rhodium is about the toughest precious metal to assay accurately. It's not something you can do in your garage in a weekend. I'm not trying to discourage you but just trying to explain the reality of the situation.http://www.ledoux.com/lab.html

Hence the $7900 / troy ounce price tag..

(spot price as of today at 1.53pm EST)

I'm always watching those spot prices.... they're a great indicator of the current state of the economy, a good thing to watch when you're dabbling in the stock market

10, to Rhodium:1 will absorb rhodium

 

[markqf1]

Tell us more?
What's the procedure?
How much contaminate?

Mark

 

[Lino1406]

Contact the rhodium with melted tin

 

[markqf1]

Some kind of amalgamation?
How do you then seperate the tin from the rh?

Mark

 

[Lino1406]

That's the easy part, e.g. boyl with HCl

 

[markqf1]

Does the molten tin collect pt, pd and gold as well?
I know lead is not a good collector of rh.

Thanks,

Mark

 

[Lino1406]

For gold (at least)

 

[Chumbawamba]

Lino, perhaps you might want to try paragraphs to discuss this particular technique rather than just short sentences here and there?

 

[Rhodium]

It’s a language barrier thing for him. We usually decipher it.

 

[Lino1406]

Tin (molten) baths in the printed circuits
industry deteriorate by contact with gold
therefore it is understood gold is soluble in tin

I'm wondering if anyone has any recovery data for aftermarket cats. Have you processed any LazerSteve? Its hard to believe they are as barren as their pricing suggest.

I'm also looking for recovery data on foil converters too.
