DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to methods for recovering platinum or platinum and rhenium from spent industrial catalysts used in the petroleum refining and petrochemical industries.

Various methods for the extraction of platinum or platinum and rhenium from spent catalysts are known. The essence of most of them consists in oxidation of the metal into soluble compounds with subsequent transfer to a solution, melt or gas phase.

The closest in technical essence to the present invention is a process for recovering platinum and rhenium from spent catalysts, including calcining the catalyst in a stream of air or other oxygen-containing gas at 300-500 ° C for 2-8 hours and treating with a concentrated solution ( 5.0 mol / L ) of hydrochloric acid or a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids at 20-90 ° C. The resulting solution is separated on columns with an ion exchanger.

A disadvantage of the known method is the strong destruction of the carrier matrix ( 30% by weight and more ), high processing costs, and large amounts of waste, processing waste.

The object of the invention is to develop an environmentally friendly process for the extraction of platinum, as well as rhenium from spent catalysts, which provides a degree of recovery of metals at a level of 99.0-99.8 wt. Reducing the consumption of raw materials and reagents, reducing waste, processing waste, storing the carrier matrix for subsequent use.

For this purpose, a method for processing catalysts is proposed by first treating them with a dilute aqueous solution containing hydrochloric and nitric acid with a total concentration of 0.1 to 1.0 mol / l and a molar ratio of 3: 1 to 7: 1 at temperatures of 70-90 o C for 1 to 3 hours , followed by an increase in the temperature of the catalyst to 150-300 ° C and holding at this temperature for 1-3 hours . The catalyst is then treated with a solution of hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 0.025-1.0 mol / l at a temperature of 30-90 ° C for 0.5-3.0 hours . The spent catalysts are calcined in air at a temperature of 400-500 ° C before removal to remove organic deposits.

Essential distinctive features of the invention are:

  • Use of a dilute solution of hydrochloric and nitric acids (total concentration from 0.1 to 1.0 mol / l) with a molar ratio of 3: 1 to 7: 1 ;
  • A subsequent increase in the temperature of the solution and aging of the catalyst at 150-300 ° C in vapors, which are the product of solution evaporation;
  • Treatment with a solution of hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 0.025-1.7 mol / l at a temperature of 30-90 ° C.

The separation of platinum and rhenium from the hydrochloric acid solution is carried out by passing through anion-exchange columns, precipitation in the form of metals by hydrogen, precipitation in the form of sulfides with hydrogen sulfide. The complete release of metals is facilitated by the absence in the solution of large amounts of the components of catalyst carriers and other reagents used for the processing of catalysts by known methods. The invention is illustrated by the following examples. The subject of processing were monometallic ( AP series) and polymetallic (series КР ) industrial catalysts, used for oil refining and petrochemical processes. The catalysts contain from 0.1 to 0.6 wt . Platinum ( AP series), and platinum and rhenium ( CR series) on alumina-supported supports. The results are shown in Table 1. Determination of the content of platinum and rhenium in solution was carried out according to known methods.
