Abstract
Abstract In this research, the kinetics of platinum extraction from a selective linear paraffin dehydrogenation spent catalyst in cyanide solutions at high pressure and temperature was experimentally studied. Three variables, including reaction temperature, initial sodium cyanide concentration in solution and liquid to solid weight ratio were investigated. Based on the design of experiments via response surface methodology (RSM) by computer simulating software “Minitab 16”, experiments were carried out at operating conditions including five solution temperatures, five initial concentrations of cyanide solution and five liquid/solid weight ratios. The effects of these operating conditions on the reaction kinetics and extraction time were determined. The obtained kinetics data were fitted into an empirical power–law rate equation. The kinetics model parameters were evaluated by using experimental data via non-linear regression analysis. It was found that the platinum extraction from a selective linear paraffin dehydrogenation spent catalyst in cyanide solution at high pressure and temperature can be appropriately modeled by the proposed correlation in the selected range of operating conditions.
