seperating pgm after leaching

[aekimble]

Long story short I buy and sell catalytic converters but, I figured there is more to a catalytic converter I am selling. So I did the leaching process and seem to have come out with some good results. No my problem is how do I seperate the pgm's from each other. I would gladly appreciate somebody to post that process.

You need a book, e.g.
Ammen, C. W.
Recovery and refining of precious metals
Hoke, C. M.

Thanks a million. This is exactly what I was looking for

How do you know you came out with good results? what leach formula&recovery method did you use?

I finally got the book and although it has some information that it useful for somethings. The catalytic converter piece was fruitless. I would like to quote him " If your operation is not efficient enough to recover a very high percentage of the values, you may find that catalytic converters are a losing proposition." I would like to say also that some of the processes he used are a bit primitive so I still have hope. I know this is a fairly complicated process but, I am going to get this accomplished (along with some help through this forum hopefully.)
