OCCURRENCE OF PLATINUM GROUP METALS IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND THEIR USE
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
Monoliths that are part of the automotive catalysts include noble metals: platinum, palladium and rhodium, which acts as a catalyst. During the operation of these devices platinum group elements (PGE) are released into the environment. The characteristics of individual metals belonging to the platinum group are presented in this article. These metals can be found in road sediments as well as in water or food. Platinum resources are constantly shrinking, so one of the ideas is their exploitation from the solar system. This article also presents methods of platinum recovery. The publication provides an overview of the literature on platinum-related issues.
