Precious metals recovery from aqueous solutions using a new adsorbent material

Abstract Platinum group metals (PGMs) palladium, platinum, and ruthenium represent the key materials for automotive exhaust gas treatment. Since there are no adequate alternatives, the importance of these metals for the automotive industry is steadily rising. The high value of PGMs in spent catalyst...
