| Abstract Scope |
Platinum Group Metals (PGM) comprising of platinum, palladium and rhodium are rare and naturally occurring metallic elements. They are often used in electronic components and cell phones as capacitors, and catalytic converters found in fuel-consuming vehicles typically contain platinum additives to help treat exhaust fumes. This paper will discuss the extraction of platinum and palladium from gold plant effluent solution by adsorption using biobased materials. Data analysis revealed that 97.4% platinum and 99.8% palladium were extracted with modified bioadsorbents and the adsorption rate of PGM progressed via the pseudo-second order rate model. Adsorption isotherm model studies indicated that the adsorption of platinum and palladium followed the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm, respectively. |
