Abstract

PURPOSE:To recover iridium at high yield in the shape of the crystals of ammonium chloroiridic acid by subjecting a chloroiridic acid soln. to diaphragm electrolytic oxidation and thereafter adding ammonium chloride thehreto. CONSTITUTION:A chloroiridic acid soln. is poured on the anodic side separated by a cation exchange membrane, and an electrolytic soln. is poured on the cathodic side. Electricity with an equivalent about 1/100 to 1.2 times the molar number of iridium is passed, and diaphragm electrolytic oxidation is executed. The soln. is mixed with an ammonium chloride soln. at the concn. of about 150 to 250g/l to precipitate the crystals of ammonium chloroiridic acid. By executing the diaphragm electrolytic oxidation, the recovery rate of ammonium chloroiridic acid can be improved.

There is a method of reducing iridium with sodium borohydride, zinc powder, or magnesium powder, but since contamination with boron, zinc, magnesium, etc. is unavoidable, it is difficult to recover iridium with good purity and less contamination. A common method is to add a concentrated ammonium chloride solution to a chloroiridate solution and recover ammonium chloride iridate as crystals.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention is a method for recovering iridium from a chloroiridic acid solution, in which the chloroiridic acid solution is oxidized by diaphragm electrolysis, and then ammonium chloride is added to convert the chloroiridic acid into chlorinated acids. This is a method for recovering iridium, which is characterized by precipitating it as ammonium iridium.

When an ammonium chloride solution is added to the chloroiridic acid solution electrolytically oxidized in this way, ammonium chloriridate crystals can be obtained, but the recovery rate of the crystals is improved compared to the case where the diaphragm electrolytically oxidized is not performed.

It is preferable that the solution temperature is 50 g/l to 250 g/12, and the solution temperature during crystal formation is preferably 60°C or higher, but since the solubility of ammonium chloride iridate increases when the temperature is high, the temperature during recovery The lower the value, the better.
