Catalytic converters contain the catalytic substance in their structure, which is a mixture of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs). The prices of these metals and a growing demand for them in the market, make it necessary to recycle spent catalytic converters and recovery of PGMs. In the study, the effect of ozone and hydrogen peroxide application on the possibility of extracting PGM from used car catalysts was investigated. The catalytic carrier was milled, sieved and then the fractions with the desired grain size were treated with the appropriate HCl mixture and 3%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 30% H2O2, respectively, and the tests were also carried out at temperature 333 K. Ozone tests were conducted with the O3 flow in the range of 1,3,5 g/h. Samples for analysis were collected after 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h and after 4 h, respectively. The residue after the experiments and filtration process was also analysed. The obtained results confirmed the assumption that PGMs can be extracted using hydrochloric acid with the addition of H2O2 or ozone as oxidants. It allows to significantly intensify the carried out reactions and to improve the rate of PGMs transfer to the solution.

he main task of automotive catalytic converters is reducing the amount of harmful components of exhaust gases. Metallic catalytic converters are an alternative to standard ceramic catalytic converters. Metallic carriers are usually made from FeCrAl steel, which is covered by a layer of Precious Group Metals (PGMs) acting as a catalyst. There are many methods used for recovery of platinum from ceramic carriers in the world, but the issue of platinum and other metals recovery from metallic carriers is poorly described. The article presents results of preliminary experiments of metals biooxidation (Fe, Cr and Al) from spent catalytic converters with metallic carrier, using bacteria of the Acidithiobacillus genus.

Głównym zadaniem katalizatorów samochodowych jest zmniejszenie ilości szkodliwych składników spalin. Katalizatory na nośniku metalowym są alternatywą dla standardowych katalizatorów na nośniku ceramicznym. Nośniki metalowe najczęściej wykonuje się ze stali FeCrAl, na którą nieniesiona jest warstwa platynowców, pełniących funkcje katalityczne. W pracy przedstawiono wyniki wstępnych prób bioutleniania metali ze zużytych katalizatorów na nośniku metalowym (Fe, Cr, Al.), z udziałem bakterii z rodzaju Acidithiobacillus.

Catalytic converters contain the catalytic substance in their structure, which is a mixture of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs): platinum, palladium and rhodium. The prices of these metals and a growing demand for them in the market, make it necessary to recycle spent catalytic converters and recovery of PGMs. The ceramic monolith of catalytic converters is still a predominant material in its construction among of multitude of catalytic converters which are in circulation. In this work attempts were made to leach additional metals (excluding Pt) from comminuted ceramic monolith. Classic leachant oxidizing media 10M H2SO4, HCl and H3PO4 were used considering the possibility of dissolution of the ceramic monolith.

Katalizatory samochodowe w swojej strukturze zawierają substancję katalityczną, będącą mieszaniną platynowców: platyny, palladu i rodu. Ceny tych metali oraz rosnące zapotrzebowanie na nie, stanowią o konieczności recyklingu zużytych katalizatorów i odzysku z nich wspomnianych metali. Materiał ceramiczny, jako monolit katalizatora jest ciągle materiałem dominującym wśród katalizatorów dostępnych obecnie na rynku. W pracy podjęto próby rozpuszczenia ceramicznego monolitu z użyciem, jako czynnika ługującego klasycznych mediów utleniających 10M H2SO4, HCl i H3PO4.
