Abstract[English]
A method of recovering iridium in a platinum group metal refining process, the method comprising: dissolving iridium from a solid iridium containing material into an aqueous solvent to produce an iridium containing solution, wherein the iridium containing solution is acidic and/or is acidified by addition of an acid after dissolution of the iridium; adding an aliphatic polyamine to the acidic iridium containing solution to precipitate the iridium as an iridium polyamine salt; and separating the precipitated iridium polyamine salt from the acidic solution, characterized in that a majority of the iridium is dissolved in its +3 oxidation state and remains in its +3 oxidation state throughout the precipitation and separation steps.[French]
L'invention concerne un procédé de récupération d'iridium dans un procédé de raffinage de métal du groupe du platine, le procédé consistant à : dissoudre de l'iridium à partir d'un matériau contenant de l'iridium solide dans un solvant aqueux pour produire une solution contenant de l'iridium, la solution contenant de l'iridium étant acide et/ou étant acidifiée par ajout d'un acide après dissolution de l'iridium; ajouter une polyamine aliphatique à la solution acide contenant de l'iridium pour précipiter l'iridium en tant que sel de polyamine d'iridium ; et séparer le sel de polyamine d'iridium précipité de la solution acide, caractérisé en ce qu'une majorité de l'iridium est dissoute dans son état d'oxydation +3 et reste dans son état d'oxydation +3 tout au long des étapes de précipitation et de séparation.
