Applications - Precious Metal Recovery
The economic recovery of precious metals from liquid process, waste and effluent streams presents a major technical challenge.
PhosphonicS™ has developed a range of materials specially designed for precious metal recovery designed to efficiently remove precious metals with the following key operational advantages:
- High Affinity for all of the common Precious Metals in their different oxidation states – giving High Scavenging Efficiency
- High Metal Capacity compared to other PGM adsorbents
- Excellent selectivity for the target metal
- Fast acting - highly active at ambient temperatures; scavenging accelerated at elevated temperature
- Effective in dilute and concentrated solutions
- Broad solvent and pH compatibility, in organic and aqueous systems
- Excellent stability - thermal, physical, chemical and mechanical
- Wide operating parameters
- Used in variety of engineered formats (column, cartridge etc)
- Simple Metal Recycling – efficient solid or liquid handling recovery options
These can bring a number of benefits for end users:
Benefits to End Users:
- Maximise Metal Value Recovery for Low Capex
- Reduce Metal Investment – faster recycling, more flexible
- Reduce or Eliminate Waste Disposal Costs
- Meet Discharge Targets for heavy metals
- Enhance Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility Profile
Current field applications include:
- Ruthenium and Iridium removal from organic waste solutions
- Rhodium removal from low concentration streams
- Selective Gold removal from metal streams
- Palladium recovery from chemical catalyst streams
- Platinum removal from reactive chemical process streams
