A nitrate leachate containing Cu(II), Ag(I), Ni(II), Mg(II), and Al(III) was obtained during the leaching of industrial dust, which arises during the pyrometallurgy of spent camera modules. To separate and recover Cu(II) and Ag(I) from the leaching solution, solvent extraction experiments using 5,8-diethyl-7-hydroxydodecan-6-oxime (LIX63) were conducted. LIX63 was found to selectively extract Cu(II) and Ag(I) over other metal ions (Ni(II), Mg(II), and Al(III)) at low nitric acid concentrations. The extraction efficiency of Cu(II) was more affected than that of Ag(I) by the acidity of the feed solution and the LIX63 concentration in the organic phase. Cu(II) and Ag(I) were simultaneously extracted using 2 mol/L LIX63. Cu(II) was separated from the loaded LIX63 via stripping with 4 mol/L HNO3, whereas Ag(I) was recovered via stripping with 0.1 mol/L thiourea after the removal of Cu(II). McCabe–Thiele diagrams for the extraction and stripping of Cu(II) and Ag(I) were constructed. The complete extraction of Cu(II) and Ag(I) was confirmed via counter-current extraction. Moreover, stripping simulation tests confirmed that higher than 99.99% of Cu(II) and 99.2% of Ag(I) were stripped. The purities of Cu(II) and Ag(I) in the recovered solution were 95.2% and 99.993%, respectively. A process flow chart for the recovery of Cu(II) and Ag(I) from the nitrate leachate of the target industrial dust was also provided.

Ion exchange and cementation experiments were done to separate silver(I) from a raffinate containing silver(I), nickel(II), and zinc(II) and small amounts of copper(II) and tin(II). The raffinate resulted from the recovery of gold(III), tin(II) and copper(II) by solvent extraction from a leaching solution of anode slime. Ion exchange with anionic resins was not effective in separating silver(I) because tin(II) and zinc(II) were selectively adsorbed into the anionic resins. It was possible to separate silver(I) by cementation with copper sheet. Treatment of the cemented silver with nitric acid solution increased the purity of silver(I) in the solution from 50.9% to 99.99%. Adjusting the pH of the AgNO3 solution to higher than 6, followed by adding ascorbic acid as a reducing agent, led to the synthesis of silver particles with micron size.

Al2o3 Catalyst

The current research presents an experimental approach on the mechanism, kinetic and decay of industrial Pd-Ag supported α-Al2O3 catalyst used in the acetylene hydrogenation process. In the first step, the fresh and deactivated hydrogenation catalysts are characterized by XRD, BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller), SEM, TEM, and DTG analyses. The XRD results show that the dispersed palladium particles on the support surface experience an agglomeration during the reaction run time and mean particle size approaches from 6.2 nm to 11.5 nm. In the second step, the performance of Pd-Ag supported α-Al2O3 catalyst is investigated in a differential reactor in a wide range of hydrogen to acetylene ratio, temperature, gas hourly space velocity and pressure. The full factorial design method is used to determine the experiments. Based on the experimental results ethylene, ethane, butene, and 1,3-butadiene are produced through the acetylene hydrogenation. In the third step, a detailed reaction network is proposed based on the measured compounds in the product and the corresponding kinetic model is developed, based on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson approach. The coefficients of the proposed kinetic model are calculated based on experimental data. Finally, based on the developed kinetic model and plant data, a decay model is proposed to predict catalyst activity and the parameters of the activity model are calculated. The results show that the coke build-up and condensation of heavy compounds on the surface cause catalyst deactivation at low temperature.

The demand for noble metals is increasing, owing to their excellent chemical and physical properties. In order to meet the demand, the recovery of noble metals with high purity from diverse secondary resources, which contain small amounts of noble metals, is of immense value. In this work, the possibility of the separation of Au(III), Pd(II), Pt(IV), Rh(III), and Ir(IV) by solvent extraction from a synthetic HCl solution is investigated. Only Au(III) was selectively extracted by Cyanex 272 in the HCl concentration range from 0.5 M to 9 M, leaving the other metal ions in the raffinate. The loaded Au(III) in Cyanex 272 was efficiently stripped by (NH2)2CS. The other four noble metals were sequentially separated on the basis of the procedures reported in the previous work. The mass balance showed that about 98% of each metal, except Pt(IV), was recovered by the proposed process. An efficient process for the recovery of the five noble metal ions from the HCl leaching solution of secondary resources containing these metals can be developed.
