Investigation of the role of Desferrioxamine B (Desferal) as a Siderophore compound in platinum bioleaching from spent catalysts

Document Type : Review

Abstract

Efficiency of the utilized catalysts will significantly reduce after being in service for a certain time and should be replaced in the relevant processes. Although the spent catalysts are considered as solid waste materials, they have a potentially high economic value depending on the type of metals in their composition and the cost of the recovery process. Moreover, recovery of the heavy metals from the spent catalysts prevents environmental pollution. The main objective of this study was to investigate platinum recovery from the spent catalysts by Desferrioxamine B (Desferal) as a Siderophore compound for using in bioleaching process. According to the results obtained from full factorial design experiment and atomic absorption analysis the positive role of Desferrioxamine B in the platinum recovery was confirmed. The best efficiency of recovery at 70 Cº, pH=1, pulp density 1% and 4 g/l desferal was measured equal to 30% after 6 hours of treatment.
