Recycling platinum group metals (PGMs) from waste and/or secondary resources is becoming quite important due to the limitation of the
natural resource deposits of PGMs. Among the processes of PGMs recycling from secondary resources, the hydrometallurgical method draws
extensive concerns, particularly for the selection of leaching solution. The present work evaluated the ability of chloride leaching solutions, i.e.
HClH2 O2 and NaClOHClH2 O2 to extract Pt, Pd and Rh from a kinetic point of view. The eect of temperature in the range of 277307 K and
time were also examined under the conditions of 500 mm of particle size and 100 g L1 of pulp density.
The kinetic model (I):
1
1 1=3 1 ln1 k1 t
3
was found to be the most suitable to describe the leaching process of Pt, Pd and Rh in the NaClO contained solution. In this model the interface
transfer and diusion across the leached support layer both aect the rate of leaching reaction.
Model (II): 1 1 1=3 2 k2 lnt
ts the kinetic data very well for the dissolution of Pd in the HClH2 O2 solution, showing that the diusion across the leached support layer
mainly aect the kinetic behaviors and the diusion coecient is inversely proportional to leaching time t.
The NaClO contained solution and HClH2 O2 solution leaching of Pt, Pd and Rh are strongly dependent on the leaching temperature. In
the case of the NaClO contained solution, the activation energy based on model (I) for Pd, Pt and Rh was 63.5, 59.1 and 77.9 kJ mol1 ,
respectively. It is probably because of that the diusion of NaClO contained solution across the leached support layer was very slow due to the
micro-porous structure of the catalyst; and a high activation energy was needed in eect. Regarding to the leaching in the HClH2 O2 solution,
the activation energy for Pd was 13.4 kJ mol1 on the basis of model (II). [doi:10.2320/matertrans.47.2015]

equations and Table 2 lists the other 17 equations. The
notation used in the tables was listed according to literature.
Rate constant (k, s1 ), considered as a function of reaction
temperature, can be formulated by the following equation,
known as Arrhenius equation:

syringe lter of 0.45 mm pore size. Rinsing of syringe was
undertaken with 3 mL bi-distilled water. Since the solid and
liquid mixture was in the homogenous suspension form, the
solid-liquid ratio (pulp density) was maintained constant
(100 g L1 ). The total volume of sampling solution removed
from the glass beaker was about 6% of the original, and did
not show apparent eect on the kinetic measurement.
The solution samples were diluted with bi-distilled water
and then analyzed by using induction coupling plasma
spectrophotometer (ICP, Seiko Instrument, Inc.). In order to
decrease the deviation of the kinetic analysis, for each case of
leaching the utmost of the leaching rate was extrapolated
according to the time-on-stream behavior, and then was used
as the base to calculate dissolution fraction .

4.1 Results
The eect of leaching time and temperature on the
dissolution of Pt, Pd and Rh in the NaClO contained leaching
solution was shown in Fig. 2 (a) 277 K; (b) 297 K and (c)
307 K, and the leaching behaviors in the HClH2 O2 solution
were shown in Fig. 3 (a) 277 K; (b) 297 K and (c) 307 K. The
results in Figs. 2 and 3 showed that the dissolution of each
PGMs increases with increasing leaching temperature and
time on stream for both solutions. The dissolution of Pt, Pd
and Rh in the HClH2 O2 solution was relatively faster as
compared with that of the NaClO contained solution. For
instance, it takes more than 100 minutes to maximize the
dissolution of Pd (>95%) at 307 K for the NaClO contained
solution, whilst for the HClH2 O2 solution it only takes about
