The amine compound, which is an extractant in the conventional solvent extraction method, has high selectivity for palladium for enrichment, not silver, which is an impurity. , And then back-extracting palladium from the extraction solvent. However, the method of selectively extracting palladium contained in a large amount in a solution is based on the fact that the amount of palladium produced is determined by extracting palladium from an aqueous solution to a solvent (extraction rate) and extracting palladium from the solvent after palladium extraction. An efficient method because it depends on both the yield at the time of extraction (back-extraction rate) and even a slight decrease in the yield decreases the amount of palladium and causes a loss in the amount of collected palladium. I'm sorry. That is, if the purpose is to remove impurities (silver) contained in palladium, it is considered that a method capable of selectively extracting silver is more efficient.

The hydantoin compound represented by Chemical Formula 5 used as an extractant in the present invention is a compound that extracts silver by performing a proton exchange reaction with silver ions in a solution to form a complex. Therefore, according to the present invention, when separating a mixture of silver, which is an impurity, and another metal, unlike the conventional method for extracting the other metal, which is an enrichment object, the silver, which is an impurity, is separated. Since selective extraction is possible, loss of the metal for the purpose of enrichment can be reduced. In particular, since the hydantoin compound, which is the extractant of the present invention, has specific selectivity for silver, silver can be extracted at an extremely high extraction rate from a solution in which silver and other metals are present. Extraction makes it possible to purify the other metal.

Here, the higher alcohol constituting the extraction solvent together with the hydantoin compound as the extractant has a function as a diluent for adjusting the dispersibility and phase separation of the extraction solvent. The reason why R 3 is an alkyl group having a straight or side chain having 8 to 16 carbon atoms in Chemical formula 5 is that only such higher alcohols can dissolve the hydantoin compound, This is because an organic solvent used as a diluent for a solvent, for example, kerosene or benzene cannot dissolve the hydantoin compound as the extractant of the present invention and does not function as a diluent. In addition, lower alcohols having a lower carbon number of the substituent R 3 cannot dissolve the hydantoin compound. The concentration of the extractant when the extractant and the diluent are mixed and used as an extraction solvent depends on the silver concentration in the silver-containing solution to be extracted, but is 1 to 30 mmol / dm 3.

Further, as described above, the extraction effect of the hydantoin compound, which is the extractant of the present invention, is due to complex formation between the hydantoin compound and silver ions, and this reaction involves proton exchange with silver ions in the solution. It is based on Therefore, the extraction rate of silver in the present invention is affected by the pH value of the solution containing silver. Therefore, in order to optimize the silver extraction rate in the present invention, it is preferable to add ammonium nitrate as a buffer to the silver-containing solution in order to reduce the fluctuation of pH.

The pH of the solution containing silver is preferably in the range of pH 5 to pH 7. This is because if the pH is 5 or less, the reaction hardly proceeds. In addition, when the pH is 7 or more, ammonia and silver ions in the solution easily form an ammine complex, which prevents complex formation between the hydantoin compound and silver ions. The pH value can be easily adjusted by adding an alkaline solution such as ammonia or sulfuric acid or an acid solution to the solution.

FIG. 2 shows the results when the palladium-silver-containing nitric acid solutions having various nitric acid concentrations were brought into contact with the extraction solvent of the comparative example.
It is a figure which shows the change of the extraction rate of palladium and silver to an extraction solvent. From FIG. 2, the extraction solvent of the comparative example has selectivity for palladium instead of silver, and the extraction rate of palladium is 1 mol / dm3 of nitric acid concentration.
At 3 or less, the maximum is 90% or more. Therefore, even in this comparative example, palladium and silver can be separated, but if the extraction rate is different even at 1%, if the solution contains a large amount of palladium, the amount of palladium to be collected will be lost. Conceivable.
