“…7 Hydrometallurgical processes produce acidic leachates during the recovery of noble metals from waste sources, while the selective recovery of Au, Pd, or Pt from this kind of matrix is quite challenging. [8][9][10][11][12][13] Beside traditional liquid-liquid extraction, selective extraction of noble metals is carried out using a variety of approaches using ion exchange resins, 14 ionic liquids, [15][16][17][18] nanocomposites, 19 silica-based adsorbent functionalized with macrocyclic ligands, 20 and a combination of solvent extraction and precipitation methods, 21 or solvent extraction and direct electrodeposition from the loaded organic phase. 22 In general, the extraction behaviour of Pt(IV) and Pd(II) by most of the commercial amines and solvating extractants is similar, which is an incentive for the development of new reagents for the selective extraction of palladium.…”
