This review sets out the fundamentals of activity, selectivity, stability and poisoning resistance which make Pt or its alloys the best available materials to use in this application. It is clear that Pt is the only element which can meet the requirements for performance while avoiding slow reaction kinetics, proton exchange membrane (PEM) system degradation due to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) formation and catalyst degradation due to metal leaching. Some of the means by which the performance of Pt can be enhanced are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":20208,"journal":{"name":"Platinum Metals Review","volume":"57 1","pages":"259-271"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1595/147106713X671222","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67346798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition fl uctuations in the price of rhodium have led to thrifting of this metal. This study compares the performance of ten different catalyst compositions with varying ratios of Pt, Pd and Rh for a Euro 5 vehicle and under bench test conditions. The results show that a system with low Rh loading can readily be improved by increasing the Rh loading and there is a relatively large effect of doing this by a small amount. Increasing the Pd or Pt loading also improves emissions performance but by a signifi cantly smaller amount than the effect of changing the Rh loading. Conversely it may be possible to decrease the Pt or Pd loading with only a small effect on emissions. Furthermore it was found that Pd outperforms Pt under most conditions, although not signifi cantly. The difference appears greater under more stressful conditions such as high-speed driving or wide perturbation amplitude.","PeriodicalId":20208,"journal":{"name":"Platinum Metals Review","volume":"57 1","pages":"281-288"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1595/147106713X671457","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67346808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However the tellurides and arsenides of platinum and palladium contribute about 50% of the PGMs present in the Platreef ore, located in the northern limb of the Bushveld Complex of South Africa, and there is evidence of these minerals reporting to the fl otation tailings. The present investigation was aimed at studying the fl otation behaviour of tellurides, arsenides and sulfi des of Pt and Pd and relating these observations to their surface characteristics. Microfl otation, zeta potential determinations, time-of-fl ight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses were used to study the synthesised samples after various treatments. It was shown that in almost all cases the addition of a typical sulfi de collector, sodium isobutyl xanthate (SIBX), increased the recovery of all the Pt and Pd minerals investigated but that the presence of copper sulfate widely used to activate sulfi de minerals caused the recoveries to decrease. These results may question the value of adding copper sulfate in the treatment of Platreef PGM-bearing ore.","PeriodicalId":20208,"journal":{"name":"Platinum Metals Review","volume":"57 1","pages":"302-310"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1595/147106713X673202","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67346423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prepared Cu/Pd bimetallic nanoparticles were characterised by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The UV-vis absorbance band confi rmed the formation of complex metal ions triggered by the complexing agent trisodium citrate. The XRD pattern indicated the formation of bimetallic nanoparticles. The TEM images of the synthesised bimetallic Cu/Pd nanoparticles showed that the size distribution of the particles was in the range 5–15 nm. An acoustic particle sizer was then used to analyse the size distribution. The results obtained by the acoustic particle sizer were consistent with the XRD and TEM analyses. These results demonstrate the potential usefulness of the acoustic particle sizer for quick and easy characterisation of nanoparticles in various catalytic, sensor and fuel cell applications.","PeriodicalId":20208,"journal":{"name":"Platinum Metals Review","volume":"57 1","pages":"186-191"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1595/147106713X667632","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67346686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
