Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of material recovery and particularly relates to a method of recovering platinum in a waste fuel cell. The method comprises the following steps: a, taking the waste fuel cell; b, separating a bipolar plate and a membrane electrode of the fuel cell, and carrying out crushing treatment on the bipolar plate and the membrane electrode respectively; c, ultrasonically cleaning the bipolar plate subjected to the crushing treatment with an organic solvent, and removing organic impurities on the surface of the bipolar plate; and d, pyrolyzing and cleaning the membrane electrode subjected to the crushing treatment, and then soaking pyrolysis residues with the organic solvent to obtain the recovered platinum. The method can effectively carry out recycling treatment on valuable components of the waste fuel cell to recycle the valuable components, simplifies a processing technology, prevents secondary pollution in the treatment process, is good in energy saving and environmental friendly effect and has better social and economic benefits.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of material recovery, and in particular relates to a method for recovering platinum in waste fuel cells by using iodized salt. Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is a power generation device that directly converts the chemical energy present in fuel and oxidant into electrical energy. Fuel and air are sent separately to the fuel cell, and electricity is miraculously produced. It looks like a battery with positive and negative electrodes and electrolytes from the outside, but in essence it cannot "storage electricity" but a "power plant". However, it requires electrodes and electrolytes and redox reactions to generate electricity. Toyota Motor established the "EV Business Planning Office" on December 1, and is accelerating mass production of pure electric vehicles (EV). Toyota successfully mass-produced a hybrid vehicle (HV) for the first time in the world, and positioned a hydrogen-burning fuel cel...
