Description

Method for obtaining platinum and/or ruthenium
The invention relates to a method for obtaining platinum and/or ruthenium. This is particularly useful for recovering platinum from fuel cells.
Prior Art
Platinum is an important raw material, which is used in particular for membrane electrode units (membrane electrode assemblies; MEAs). The membrane electrode unit represents the core component of a fuel cell. It consists of a central polymer membrane, two catalyst layers (with platinum disposed therein) on each side, and two carbon layers on each side. A fuel cell stack contains more than 100 such MEAs. The fuel cell stack is composed of carbon to an extent of more than 80 wt.%, but still contains about 30 grams of precious metal. Recovery of platinum and other precious metals may be carried out by pyrometallurgical or hydrometallurgical means.
In hydrometallurgical recovery, the metal to be recovered enters the aqueous solution through complex formation. An example of such a method is described in the article N, Hodnik, C, Baldizzone, "Platinum recycling green via induced surface potential alteration enhancing fast and influencing resolution", 2016, Nature Communications, Vol.7. In this case, platinum can pass from the industrial catalyst via the chloride as complexing agent into the hydrochloric acid solution. Here, ozone is used as the oxidizing agent and carbon monoxide is used as the reducing agent alternately, to thereby achieve instantaneous dissolution of platinum.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
In a method for obtaining platinum and/or ruthenium, in particular platinum, a solution of an alcohol in water is provided. At least one starting material which contains platinum and/or ruthenium and from which platinum and/or ruthenium are to be obtained is introduced into the solution. In particular, the starting material is MEA or a fragment thereof. The alcohol is suitable to dissolve the ionomer binder that bonds the platinum-based and/or ruthenium-based catalyst, the carbon layer and the film to each other within a few minutes. In this way, a suspension can be obtained in which the catalyst is present separately from the other constituents of the MEA.
HCl was then introduced into the solution. This can be carried out in particular by adding hydrochloric acid. In this way, the pH of the solution is lowered, which stabilizes the hexachloroplatinate (IV) salt complex and the hexachlororuthenate (III) salt complex.
Finally, multiple oxidation steps are performed by introducing ozone into the solution. The ozone can surface oxidize the platinum and/or ruthenium contained in the catalyst in an acidic solution. In this case, the platinum and/or ruthenium are dissolved instantaneously and form soluble hexachloroplatinate (IV) salt complexes and/or hexachlororuthenate (III) salt complexes. Once the catalyst is completely covered with the platinum oxide layer and/or the ruthenium oxide layer, no further platinum and/or ruthenium goes into solution. In conventional transient dissolution processes of noble metals, as described for example by n. Hodnick and c. Baldizzone in the above mentioned article, it is now necessary to add a reducing agent to the solution in order to reduce the platinum oxide layer and/or the ruthenium oxide layer again. This is not necessary in the present method. This is because the alcohol plays a dual role in the process. It not only acts as a solvent for dissolving the ionomer binder, but also acts as a reducing agent with respect to platinum oxide and/or ruthenium oxide in a hydrochloric acid solution and in the absence of ozone. After the ozone introduction has ended, the reduction of platinum oxide and/or ruthenium oxide therefore takes place on the catalyst surface, and further platinum and/or ruthenium enters the solution as hexachloroplatinate (IV) and/or hexachlororuthenate (III) instantaneously, until the platinum surface and/or the ruthenium surface again becomes free of platinum oxide and/or ruthenium oxide. At this point, the dissolution of platinum and/or ruthenium again ceases and ozone must be reintroduced into the solution to introduce further platinum and/or ruthenium into the solution.
The alcohol is preferably selected from methanol, ethanol and isopropanol. Ethanol is particularly preferred. The concentration of alcohol in the provided solution is preferably greater than 50% by weight. This enables the ionic binder to dissolve quickly. In contrast, for the reduction of platinum oxide and/or ruthenium oxide, a concentration of 10 to 20% by weight is sufficient. Therefore, in order to reduce the process costs, it is preferred to reduce the alcohol concentration in the solution to a value in this range after the introduction of the at least one starting material and before the first introduction of ozone. This can be carried out in particular by diluting the solution with water.
When HCl is introduced, the HCl concentration in the solution is preferably adjusted to a value of 0.05 mol/l to 0.50 mol/l. An optimum pH for oxidizing platinum and/or ruthenium with ozone is thereby obtained.
After the introduction of the at least one starting material and before the first introduction of ozone, it is further preferred to introduce sodium chloride into the solution in a concentration of 0.5 mol/l to 5.0 mol/l. The chloride ion concentration in the solution is thereby increased, so that a large amount of platinum in the form of hexachloroplatinate (IV) salt complex and/or a large amount of ruthenium in the form of hexachlororuthenate (III) salt complex can thereby be stabilized in the solution.
The ozone is preferably introduced into the solution in the form of an ozone/oxygen mixture. This mixture can be produced in a simple manner by means of an ozone generator.
When ozone is introduced into the solution, it is preferable to adjust the concentration of ozone in the solution to not more than 5% by weight. The higher ozone concentration no longer contributes significantly to the oxidation of platinum and/or ruthenium, but rather leads primarily to the oxidation of the alcohol.
Each introduction is preferably carried out for a period of time of from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, respectively. In the case of a catalyst material as is commonly used in MEAs, such a period of time is sufficient for the entire platinum surface to be covered by a platinum oxide layer and/or the entire ruthenium surface to be covered by a ruthenium oxide layer. Therefore, further introduction of ozone does not cause oxidation of platinum and/or ruthenium, but only oxidation of alcohol.
Between the two introductions of ozone into the solution, the solution is preferably purged in each case with an inert gas, such as, in particular, nitrogen or argon. In this way, the ozone still present in the solution is rapidly expelled from the solution. This is advantageous because the reduction of platinum oxide and/or ruthenium oxide only begins when the solution is free of ozone, and before this a redox reaction takes place between the alcohol and the remaining ozone.
Platinum and/or ruthenium can be obtained from the solution by reduction. For this purpose, in particular after ozone has been introduced into the solution a predetermined number of times (after which no further platinum and/or ruthenium can be expected to re-enter the solution), the remaining solid material can be filtered out of the solution and the solution can then be treated, for example with hydrogen or another reducing agent, to thereby precipitate the metallic platinum and/or ruthenium from the solution.
Brief Description of Drawings
Embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and are explained in more detail in the following description.
Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of an embodiment of a method according to the invention.
Fig. 2 schematically shows the instantaneous dissolution of platinum in an embodiment of the method according to the invention.
Examples of the invention
As shown in fig. 1, after the start 10 of an embodiment of the method according to the invention, a solution of 11 ethanol in water is first provided. In this example, the solution contained 90 wt% ethanol and 10 wt% water. Thereafter, the starting material 20 is introduced 12 into the solution in the form of a comminuted MEA. The solution was stirred for 10 minutes, wherein the ionomer binder of the MEA entered the solution and the MEA sections thereby decomposed into catalyst, carbon and membrane.
The solution was then diluted 13 with water until its ethanol content was reduced to 20 wt.%. Hydrochloric acid is subsequently added 14 so much that the HCl concentration in the solution is 0.1 mol/l and its pH is lowered to 1 in particular. In addition, 15 so many sodium chloride was added that the solution contained 1 mol/l sodium chloride. Thereafter, instantaneous dissolution of platinum from the starting material 20 is started.
A mixture of oxygen and ozone generated by means of a corona effect is introduced 16 for a period of 10 minutes, wherein care is taken that the ozone concentration in the solution does not rise to more than 5% by weight. The solution is then flushed 17 with nitrogen. After another 10 minutes, 16 ozone additions were repeated. As shown in fig. 2, upon treatment of metallic platinum 21 with ozone, platinum cations go into solution, which is immediately stabilized as hexachloroplatinate (IV) salt complex. Here, a platinum oxide layer 22 is gradually formed on the surface of the platinum 21 until the surface is completely covered and the dissolution of the platinum 21 is finished. Once the remaining ozone has been expelled from the solution, the ethanol begins to reduce the platinum oxide layer 22, with platinum cations re-entering the solution. The reduction step is ended when the entire platinum surface is free of platinum oxide 22. Thereafter, the next oxidation step is started by reintroducing ozone into the 16 solution. These steps are repeated so long until inspection 18 shows that the platinum 21 has completely dissolved. In the present embodiment, it is checked in a check 18 whether a predetermined number of oxidation and reduction cycles have elapsed (after which complete dissolution of the platinum 21 is expected). The process then ends 19, in which the residue of the starting material 20 is filtered off from the solution and the solution is passed to a reductive work-up. The metal platinum can be precipitated by reduction by introducing hydrogen into the solution.
