Using the HClO4–H2O2 System for Efficient Platinum Leaching: Optimal Conditions and Kinetics
GA: The platinum leaching using HClO4 and H2O2 is studied. For each HClO4 concentration, an H2O2/HClO4 = 2.5 ratio optimizes the kinetics. The best operating conditions are ≈70 °C, [HClO4] 3 m, and [H2O2] 7.2 m. The leaching process is governed by diffusion in the boundary layer and chemical reaction. In this new extraction process, Cl2(g) is generated
