Platinum is the most commonly used metal catalyst for addition curing of silicones by hydrosilylation which involves the crosslinking by the addition reaction of silicon hydride species to unsaturated bonds, mainly C<img>C, but also C<img>O or C<img>N double bonds. After crosslinking of the polymers, the platinum catalyst cannot be recovered but remains in the silicone materials throughout the entire product life. In the end, platinum is disposed of together with the silicones and is thus lost to the value chain. The overall objective of this work was to develop a recycling process for the recovery of platinum from addition-cured silicone elastomers. In the first step, this was achieved by efficient digestion methods and by optimizing the leaching processes for exemplary commercial silicone elastomer products. Two different silicone materials were investigated, both of which were crosslinked with a platinum catalyst. The initial Pt content in the tested samples was 12.6 ± 0.2 mg/kg for a commercial silicone impression material and 6.3 ± 0.5 mg/kg for a silicone baking mold, measured by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS). Samples were first frozen with liquid nitrogen to improve brittleness and then crushed with a simple food processor to obtain a silicone granule. Various acid mixtures, mainly based on sulfuric acid, were investigated as digestion methods in order to extract platinum from the silicone network. These had different effects on the dissolution behavior of silicone samples and the amount of platinum extracted in each case. The amount of platinum leached from the filtrate of the digested samples in each case was measured by ICP-OES to evaluate the efficiency of different leaching mixtures. In addition, the dissolved platinum species present in the solutions was identified by UV/VIS as tetrachloridoplatinate(II) complex. The best platinum leaching results so far were obtained with two methods, both of which used a leaching mixture based on sulfuric acid and hexamethyldisiloxane (M<sub>2</sub>). In the presence of hydrochloric acid, 9.6 ± 1.6 mg platinum/kg was leached from the silicone impression material and 4.2 ± 0.8 mg platinum/kg from the silicone baking mold. With the additional use of <em>aqua regia</em> instead of hydrochloric acid, 10.4 ± 2.8 mg platinum/kg was extracted from the silicone impression material and 4.8 ± 1.0 mg platinum/kg was extracted from the silicone baking mold. These methods were replicated with <em>n</em> = 3. Using statistical evaluation methods (F-test, <em>t</em>-test, and confidence interval), no significant difference was found between these two best methods.

This work focusses on leaching silver with Cu(II)/NH<sub>3</sub>/S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub><sup>2<em>−</em></sup> which has been widely used for gold leaching. As recently shown for the leaching of copper, using foams whose aqueous phase consists of leaching chemicals is a promising way to reduce the environmental footprint, by improving the metal oxidation caused by the fast transfer of O<sub>2</sub> from bubble to bubble.

The main problem of the thiosulfate route is its degradation during metal oxidation hence it requires using large quantities of this reactant. The results obtained for our leaching foams show that the quantity of silver leached per quantity of thiosulfate used is about three times greater in comparison with a solution, which would bring a new approach to this problem. Moreover, we investigate the role of the bubble size and the gas composition (dioxygen partial pressure). Besides we find that the dissolved silver is inhomogeneously distributed between the foam column and the bottom solution, with an accumulation of 90 % of silver inside the foam, hence opening an interesting perspective for an easy separation of silver upon leaching. Comparing several surfactants, we show that only non-ionic surfactant polyoxyethylene oleyl ether, Brij O10, shows satisfying results, while dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride most likely binds with silver complexes and triggers a quick collapse of the foams.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":13193,"journal":{"name":"Hydrometallurgy","volume":"225 ","pages":"Article 106279"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139694756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
