Trends in Sorption Recovery of Platinum Metals: A Critical Survey

Аннотация

The major trends in research into the sorption recovery and separation of platinum metals are critically surveyed. The advantages and disadvantages are described for ion-exchange and complexing sorbents based on organic polymers, chemically modified silicas, sorbents with applied macrocyclic compounds, hybrid organomineral sorbents with supported polymers, molecular imprinted sorbents, solid-phase extractants based on ionic liquids, biosorbents, and other types of sorbents. The technological potentials of these sorbents are evaluated.
