Recovery of Platinum and Palladium from Scrap Automotive Catalytic Converters

Abstract      The hydrometallurgical method was used to platinum and palladium leaching with aqua regia solution (3HCl: HNO3). The leaching experiments were designed to obtain the optimum conditions by using Taguchi method with 16 experiments at three different factors (time, temperature and...
