Maybe the question for more knowledged refiners here.
How soluble is potassium hexachlororhodate salt compared to ammonium one ? From safety reasons, I would more likely use KCl to precipitate batch of PtPd salts from PtPdRh mixture. But hence i don´t know the solubility of potassium Rh salt, i cannot conclude if the intended procedure would be of any help in means of separation of Rh. I know the efficiency will be bad, and much of the Rh will be lost in mixed PtPd salts. But my time to finish this particular batch is coming to the end, so this is only thing I could come up with to scavenge some Rh enriched fraction. Otherwise I will lose it all.
From literature i could only find the solubility of (NH4)3(RhCl6) to be 40g/L in water and 12g/L in 1M NH4Cl solution.
Any data or comparison of K salt to NH4 salt of Rh would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for you reply
