Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for hydrometallurgical processing of certain alloys consisting of (i) gold and / or platinum, (ii) palladium, silver and / or copper, (iii) tin and optionally (iv) one or more other elements with a certain gold and / or platinum: tin weight ratio.
- Gold, platinum, palladium and silver are precious metals; copper and tin are non-precious metals.
- Gold and / or platinum on the one hand and alloys containing palladium, silver and / or copper on the other hand, for example gold-silver alloys such as Dore metal, are usually processed hydrometallurgically by first treating them with nitric acid in a first step, The metals palladium, silver and copper, which are less noble than gold and platinum, go into solution as nitrate. Gold or platinum in the remaining residue can be brought into solution in a subsequent step with a medium comprising hydrochloric acid and a suitable oxidizing agent as tetrachlorogoldic or hexachloroplatinic acid. If said alloys also contain tin, this separation process can often not be carried out without further ado.
- the problems described can surprisingly be avoided as soon as the aforementioned noble metal-tin alloys in particular have a certain gold and / or platinum: tin weight ratio. It is assumed that in the course of the aforementioned separation process not tin dioxide is formed, but an alloy comprising tin, gold and / or platinum, which cannot be attacked by nitric acid alone, which in the subsequent step is formed with the medium comprising hydrochloric acid and a suitable oxidizing agent of hexachlorotin acid and tetrachloroauric acid and / or hexachloroplatinic acid can be brought into solution.
- the noble metal-tin alloy is specifically selected in process step (a1) or specifically produced in process step (a2) such that it is preferably made up of constituents (i) 0.45 to 25% by weight 3 to 20% by weight of at least one metal A selected from the group consisting of gold and platinum, (ii) 35 to 99.2% by weight, preferably 40 to 95% by weight, of at least one metal B selected from the group consisting of palladium, silver and copper, (iii) 0.3 to 30% by weight, preferably 2 to 17.5% by weight tin and (iv) 0 to 50% by weight of at least one of gold, platinum, Palladium, silver, copper and tin of various elements is composed of 100% by weight and at the same time has a metal A: tin weight ratio of 0.7: 1, preferably in the range from 1: 1 to 10: 1. It is clear to the person skilled in the art that the metal A: tin weight ratio in view of the weight / quantity ratios of the constituents (i) to (iv)
- the noble metal-tin alloy preferably consists of (i) 3 to 20% by weight of at least one metal A selected from the group consisting of gold and platinum, (ii) 40 to 95% by weight of at least one metal B selected from Group consisting of palladium, silver and copper, (iii) 2 to 17.5% by weight of tin and (iv) 0 to 50% by weight of at least one of gold, platinum, Palladium, silver, copper and tin of various elements with a metal A: tin weight ratio in the range from 1: 1 to 10: 1.
- noble metal-tin alloy or alloys composed as mentioned above are noble metal-tin alloys composed essential to the invention, also referred to herein as “noble metal-tin alloy of the type essential to the invention” or “the noble metal-tin alloy” .
- the composition of the noble metal-tin alloy, which is essential to the invention, evidently forms an essential prerequisite for a successful and uncomplicated implementation of the method according to the invention while avoiding the aforementioned problems with solid-liquid separation.
- the noble metal-tin alloy is specifically selected, in particular from noble metal-tin alloys.
- the targeted selection takes place in such a way that the aforementioned conditions essential to the invention with regard to composition and, associated therewith, also the metal A: tin weight ratio are met.
- the noble metal-tin alloy of the type that is essential to the invention can therefore already be present in its finished form and processed hydrometallurgically in process steps (b) to (d).
- the noble metal-tin alloy is first specifically produced in such a way that the above-mentioned conditions essential to the invention with regard to composition and, consequently, also the metal A: tin weight ratio are met.
- the noble metal-tin alloy can be produced by alloying the metals or elements that make it up.
