Recycling And Utilization Of Waste Three-way Catalysts:

In general, the extraction of platinum-group metals from three-way catalyst typically involves the following steps: pretreatment (collection, shell stripping, grinding, sample preparation), group metal enrichment, extraction, purification, and reduction into metallic products. First, platinum-group metal samples are removed from the catalyst housing, crushed, ground, and sieved to an appropriate particle size for subsequent processing via either fire refining or wet refining techniques. Platinum-group metals can be enriched through mechanical enrichment or chemical pretreatment. Then, group metal extraction is performed using either fire refining or wet refining methods (with or without the enrichment stage).

The refined platinum-group metal alloy obtained from fire refining needs to undergo further chemical extraction. In this process, platinum-group metals may directly dissolve into a solution, followed by wet refining for further processing. The platinum-group metal is then separated and purified from the leaching solution and reduced into final metallic products.

The fire refining technology involves treating the waste catalytic converter catalysts with additional solvents at high temperatures to effectively separate most of the platinum-group metals from the substrate, enabling smooth extraction in subsequent steps. Fire refining techniques mainly include mercury collection methods (such as lead collection, iron collection, copper collection, and nickel-zinc collection methods). Wet refining technology employs acid-base leaching or other methods to selectively dissolve platinum-group metals or non-precious metals from waste catalytic converters, achieving the separation of platinum-group metals from non-precious metals.
