Abstract

PURPOSE:To dissolve Ir almost quantitatively in hydrochloric acid and to prepare chloroiridic acid by a relatively simple procedure by dissolving Ir in conc. hydrochloric acid while suspending and heating Ir in conc. hydrochloric acid and blowing gaseous chlorine into the suspension. CONSTITUTION:Chloroiridic acid (H3IrCl6) is prepd. by heating Ir or a mixture contg. Ir (e.g., mixture contg. Ir which have been used in other field such as recovery of Ir, etc.) in conc. hydrochloric acid, and dissolving the Ir while suspending it and blowing gaseous chlorine into the suspension. Although aq. soln. of salt of chloroiridic acid has been obtd. in the prior art by extracting with water a soluble salt such as Na3IrCl6, etc., after treating Ir powder with NaCl or BaCl2 while heating in Cl2 gas atmosphere, removal of Na<+> or Ba<2+> by ion exchange, etc., has been necessary for the prepn. of pure H3IrCl6, moreover the yield of the prior process was inferior. H3IrCl6 is prepd. by dissolving Ir almost quantitatively and with a relatively simple procedure in accordance with the process of this invention.

(Prior art and its problems) Chloroiridic acid (L[rCls) has traditionally been produced by mixing iridium powder with sodium chloride or barium chloride and heating it in a chlorine atmosphere to convert it into a soluble salt such as Na31rC16. to obtain a solution of iridium chloride. However, since this solution contains sodium and barium, in order to obtain pure chloroiridic acid, it is necessary to use ion exchange etc.
2 + must be removed, and the rate of conversion to soluble salts is low, resulting in poor yield.

In addition to this, research has been widely conducted to generate iridium chloride by reacting iridium powder with chlorine, but since both require high temperatures of 250°C or higher, it is difficult to adopt this method as a step in the production of chloroiridic acid. However, the disadvantage is that the cost associated with the heat resistance of the device increases, making it uneconomical.

Furthermore, when fine iridium black is boiled with concentrated hydrochloric acid, it dissolves in a very small amount to give chloroiridic acid, but the dissolved amount is insufficient and is far from economical to operate.

In addition, a method is known in which platinum group metals supported on an inorganic porous carrier such as activated alumina are extracted using hydrochloric acid and an oxidizing agent (Japanese Patent Publication No. 6326, 1983). Since the metal is a metal, the recovery rate cannot be increased by a single operation, and after extraction with hydrochloric acid and an oxidizing agent, a washing step with hydrochloric acid is further provided to increase the recovery rate. Although a satisfactory recovery rate can be achieved by this method, it is desirable to reduce the number of steps in order to improve workability, and this method cannot be directly applied to the production of chloroiridic acid.

Iridium in the present invention includes not only pure elements such as iridium powder and iridium black, but also iridium formed in an alloy with a small amount of other platinum group metals.

Further, the concentration of the hydrochloric acid used is preferably 12N or more, because if it is less than 12N, it will take too much time for dissolution.

In the present invention, the iridium or the mixture thereof is stirred in this hydrochloric acid solution to form a suspension.

Next, the hydrochloric acid solution is heated while stirring and maintaining a suspended state to further improve reactivity. Heating temperature: preferably at least 60° C. in order to obtain a dissolution rate above a certain level, and to remove dissolved oxygen in the solution. The upper limit of the heating temperature is the boiling point of hydrochloric acid (the boiling point of 20.24% hydrochloric acid under 1 atmosphere is 108.6°C). The heating temperature can be appropriately selected depending on the required dissolution rate.

While stirring and heating are continued, dissolved oxygen is removed and chlorine gas is bubbled into the hydrochloric acid solution. The amount of chlorine gas blown varies depending on the heating temperature and the amount of solution, but it is
In the case of a solution with a heating temperature of about 1β, the heating rate is about 11/min, and it is more preferable to heat the chlorine gas at the time of blowing, and the temperature is preferably 60 to 90°C.

Although the detailed reaction mechanism is not clear, chlorine gas functions as an oxidizing agent and contributes to the oxidation of iridium. In this case, unlike the conventional case of using chlorine gas, the reaction is carried out in a liquid phase, so the reaction proceeds satisfactorily even under milder conditions, that is, the reaction temperature is below the boiling point of hydrochloric acid.

In addition, chlorine gas, which is an oxidizing agent, can be removed relatively easily from the hydrochloric acid solution, and even if it is mixed into the solution as chlorine ions, highly pure chloroiridic acid can be produced by heating and concentrating it.

(Effects of the Invention) The present invention provides the following steps when producing chloroiridic acid by dissolving iridium or a mixture containing iridium in hydrochloric acid.
While heating the hydrochloric acid solution, chlorine gas was blown into the solution to dissolve iridium. In this case, chlorine gas functions as an oxidizing agent and the reaction occurs in the liquid phase, so it is possible to achieve a high dissolution rate under relatively mild conditions where the reaction temperature is below the boiling point of hydrochloric acid, and in a process that is simplified compared to conventional technology. The reaction proceeds satisfactorily and chloroiridic acid can be obtained in high yield. In addition, chlorine gas, which is an oxidizing agent, can be removed relatively easily from the hydrochloric acid solution, and even if it is mixed into the solution as chlorine ions, it will not become an impurity because it already exists in the hydrochloric acid solution, and the purity will be reduced. It is possible to produce high chlorinated iridic acid.
