Pd-Dissolution through a mild and effective one-step reaction and its application for Pd-recovery from spent catalytic converters

摘要

We describe here an innovative method for Pd-dissolution using the reagent N,N'-dimethylperhydrodiazepine-2,3-dithione diiodine adduct which, being safe and powerful, is appealing for practical applications: remarkably almost quantitative Pd-recovery from model spent three-way catalysts has been obtained, showing that the effectiveness of the method is maintained when palladium is contained in a complex system such as a car catalyst, a ceramic material which has undergone severe thermal stress.
