“…Literature survey revealed that the extraction of PGMs, in particular of Pd and Pt, have been reported extensively by many researchers from chloride media, mostly from synthetic solutions at low metal concentrations employing extractants such as TBP [7] amines [8][9][10][11][12][13][14], oximes [15][16][17], thio-phosphoric acid [18], phosphonic acid [19], thiophosphinic acid [20,21], TIBPS [22], sulphoxides [23], thiol [24], thiourea [25], Most of these studies report extraction behavior of metals and species. A review of methods of processing and recovery of PGMs from sulfide ores/concentrates [3,6,8] and spent catalysts of fertilizer and petrochemical industry [2,[26][27][28] are reported.…”
