Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a method for recovery of noble metals from long-chain hydrocarbons, oils or tars, comprising a thermal treatment process in the presence of a defoaming agent having an ash fraction of 0.1% by weight or more.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for thermal reprocessing of noble metal-containing tars comprising a thermal treatment process in the presence of a defoaming agent having an ash fraction of 0.1% by weight or more, wherein the defoaming agent is one or more natural substances selected from the group consisting of wood chips, plant fibres and shells of cereals. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the defoaming agent comprises an ash fraction ranging from 0.5% by weight to 0.8% by weight. 3. The method according to claim 1 wherein a fraction of defoaming agent of 10% by weight or more, relative to 100% by weight of noble metal-containing tar, is added. 4. The method according to claim 1 wherein the defoaming agent possesses a porous structure. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the natural substances are reduced to small pieces whose longest axis has a length of 5 mm or less. 6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the defoaming agent is wood chips. 7. The method according to claim 3 , wherein a fraction of defoaming agent of 10% to 40% by weight, relative to 100% by weight of noble metal-containing tar, is added. 8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plant fibres are selected from the group consisting of hemp, flax and shredded straw. 9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the defoaming agent comprises an ash fraction ranging from 0.5% by weight to 0.8% by weight. 10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein a fraction of defoaming agent of 10% by weight or more, relative to 100% by weight of noble metal-containing tar, is added. 11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein a fraction of defoaming agent of 10% to 40% by weight, relative to 100% by weight of noble metal-containing tar, is added. 12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the natural substances are reduced to small pieces whose longest axis has a length of 5 mm or less. 13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the noble metal-containing tars comprise a noble metal content ranging from 300 to 5000 ppm. 14. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the noble metal-containing tars comprise a noble metal content ranging from 300 to 5000 ppm. 15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the noble metal-containing tars are rhodium-containing tars having a rhodium content ranging from 300 to 5000 ppm. 16. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the noble metal-containing tars are rhodium-containing tars having a rhodium content ranging from 300 to 5000 ppm. 17. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the natural substances are dry wood chips. 18. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the natural substances are dry wood chips. 19. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the tars are mixed with the defoaming agent first and then subjected to the thermal treatment process. 20. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the tars are mixed with the defoaming agent first and then subjected to the thermal treatment process.
