Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for dissolving noble metals. A pH adjusting unit controls pH of liquid inside a dissolution reactor in such a manner that a chlorine compound is produced. The noble metal in a noble metal-containing sample introduced into the dissolution reactor is dissolved by the chlorine compound, and the liquid evaporated from an inorganic material extraction unit is recycled to the dissolution reactor.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for dissolving noble metals, including: a sealed dissolution reactor provided with agitators; a sealed electrolysis type chlorine producing unit for supplying chlorine gas produced via electrolysis to the dissolution reactor; a pH adjusting unit for controlling and maintaining pH of the liquid inside the dissolution reactor to convert the chlorine gas supplied to the dissolution reactor into a chlorine compound; and an inorganic material extraction unit for extracting inorganic materials from the liquid received from the dissolution reactor via heating/evaporation, wherein the pH adjusting unit controls pH of the liquid inside the dissolution reactor in such a manner that the chlorine compound is produced, the noble metal in a noble metal-containing sample introduced into the dissolution reactor is dissolved by the chlorine compound, and the liquid evaporated from the inorganic material extraction unit is recycled to the dissolution reactor.
