The invention relates to the field of analytical chemistry of platinum metals, in particular to methods of separation and concentration, and can be used for the separation of platinum and rhodium sulfate in fresh and aged solutions sorption method using strong-base anion-exchange.

The method for extracting noble metals from aqueous solution by sorption [RF patent №2201983, C22B 11/00, C22B 3/24, publ. 10.04.2003], including sorption recovery of precious metals organic sorbent - 2-(1,3,5-Dityatin-5-yl)acetic acid in a wide range of temperatures (90-100°C) and pH (pH 1-14) for 40-60 min, which includes stages of filtration, drying and ashing sorbent-concentrate. While ash is a removable metal or a sum recoverable metals (in the case of silver - silver oxide).

The disadvantages of this method include using only freshly prepared solutions, as well as the impossibility of re-use of ion exchangers due to their combustion. Therefore, another significant disadvantage of this method is an environmental hazard.

There is also a method of extracting precious metals from acidic sulfate solutions [RF patent №2067125, C22B 3/24, C22B 11/00, publ. 27.09.1996], including the transmission source of the solution through the carbon layer is on the adsorbent, pre subjected to demineralization method of acid treatment and heat treatment in an inert atmosphere processing of the coal with nitric acid, then washing, drying and heat treatment for reuse in the extraction of platinum group metals.

The disadvantages of this method are the low mechanical strength of carbon sorbents, and the impossibility of multiple (more than 10 times) use.

The closest technical solution, selected as a prototype, is a method of extracting platinum group metals from poor sulfate solutions [RF patent №2323986, C22B 11/00, C22B 3/24, publ. 10.05.2008], including simultaneous translation of platinum metals in activearray form the chlorination and extraction. As sorbents used ion-exchange resin based on a copolymer of styrene and divinylbenzene: strong base anion exchange resin helium structure Rossion-5 containing benzyltrimethylammonium group, or a weakly basic resin macroporous structure Rossion-10, containing primary, secondary and tertiary amino groups.

The disadvantages of this method are the use of high temperatures (90°C), the duration and intensity of the process (constant stirring for four hours, the transmission of toxic chlorostoma mixture for 30 minutes).

Technically the result of the invention is to simplify and reduce the cost as the transfer method of the sulfate forms of platinum metals in chloride, and the process of their extraction and separation in the freshly prepared and aged solutions.

The technical result is achieved in that in the method of extraction and separation of platinum and rhodium in sulfate solutions, including translation of the platinum metals in activearray form, sorption on strong-base anion exchange resin new is that pre-freshly prepared and aged for three months sulfate solutions of platinum and rhodium is switched to sulfate-chloride by adding to them chloroethanol acid sorption is carried out in dynamic conditions from the obtained solutions by ion-exchange resin Purolite A-500, containing as functional groups of the Quaternary ammonium base, and their desorption is carried out in two stages: the first stage is passed through the sorbent solution 2M NaNO3to extract platinum and in the second stage, a solution of 2 M HCl to extract rhodium. Also new is the fact that the anion exchange resin after desorption is used to re-sorption of platinum metals without additional regeneration.

The method consists in the following. In the first phase is the activation of freshly prepared and aged for three months sulfate solutions without additional cost by adding thereto 0.01 to 2.0 M chloroethanol acid so that the concentration ratio of HCl is H 2SO4was 1:1. In the resulting systems are kinetically inert sulfate complexes of platinum metals, such as [Pt2(H2O)2(SO4)4]2-, [Rh(H2O)2(SO4)]-, [Rh(OH)(H2O)(SO4)2]2-and others, which cause significant complications in the extraction of these metals becomes more labile chloride form, as evidenced by the electronic absorption spectra of the platinum metals, is shown in figure 1. They show that the maxima of the absorption spectra of chloride and sulfate-chloride solutions are identical, that is, in such systems, platinum and rhodium are in the chloride complexes, such as [PtCl6]2-, [RhCl6]3-, [Pt(OH)Cl5]2-, [Pt(OH)6]2-, [Rh(H2O)2Cl4]-and others. Next, the second stage consists of extracting platinum group metals from the prepared solutions on strong-base anion exchange resin Purolite A-500, containing as functional groups of the Quaternary ammonium base having a high exchange capacity for platinum and rhodium. Sorption characteristics of the resin depending on the acidity practically does not change with the decrease of the concentration of acids. For full recovery of noble metals from solutions of the experiment is conducted in a dynamic in the circumstances. During curing solutions within three months of the sorption parameters worsen somewhat, but remain at a high level, which is of great importance for the industry. The third phase involves the desorption of noble metals from the anion exchange resin, which is carried out with solutions of 2 M NaNO3and then 2 M HCl. The anion exchange resin after desorption is used to re-sorption of noble metals in the described way.

These differences allow to draw a conclusion on the conformity of the proposed technical solution the criterion of "novelty". The features distinguishing the claimed method from the prototype, have been identified in other technical solutions in the study of this and related areas of chemistry, and, therefore, provide the claimed solution according to the criterion of "inventive level".

The invention is illustrated in the drawing. Figure 1 shows the absorption spectra of the chloride (1, 3) and sulphate-chloride (2, 4) solutions of platinum and rhodium in the joint presence, derived from sulphate solutions of different time-keeping (freshly prepared solutions (1, 2) and aged for three months (3, 4)).

In this case, platinum goes into solution and rhodium remains in the anion exchange resin. Further, the sorbent was washed with 100 ml of water and passed through a 2 M HCl solution. After separate desorption platinum and rhodium can be used for further work, either in the form of solutions, or you can put them in the metal mold by electrolysis. The anion exchange resin after desorption is used to re-sorption of noble metals in the described way.
