A new and efficient system for the selective recovery of platinum ions from conventional cheap transition metal mixtures was developed. We found that the selone is reactive toward the conventional acids. Mesoporous silica functionalized by reaction of selone showed excellent selectivity to platinum ions among various transition metal ions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
