Abstract:

The Pt ion was extracted in the deactived catalyst for the hydrochlorination reaction of ethyne by acidic thiourea solution. The result shows that the extraction ratio is over 98% when the extraction phase volume ratio approaches 1, the concentration of thiourea is 0.2 mol/L and hydrochloric acid concentration is between 0.5 and 0.6 mol/L. Besides, there are some advantages such as keeping the organic phase composition. Organic phase can be reuses, and the ethyne conversion ratio is over 70% by using the fresh catalyst in the same organic phase.

Key words: Acidic thiourea solution, liquid-phase catalysts, solvent extraction, platinum
