Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. Platinum metal recycling and purification based on dissolution followed by precipitation into a salt and decomposition of the salt into pure metal is time consuming and the equipment used suffers from corrosion damage. In an experimental approach a microwave (2.45 GHz) assisted dissolution process for platinum has been developed as well as a microwave process for Pt-sponge synthesis. The paper presents details on the microwave process and the mechanisms underlying the accelerated reaction.
