  • Patent number: 10504628
    Abstract: An aqueous solution of alkali hexahydroxo platinate is produced. As a alkali hexahydroxo platinate, sodium hexahydroxoplatinate or potassium hexahydroxoplatinate is used. The aqueous solution of alkali hexahydroxo platinate is passed through a hydrogen form cation exchange resin layer in a cation exchange resin tower. The aqueous solution of alkali hexahydroxo platinate makes contact with the hydrogen form cation exchange resin of the hydrogen form cation exchange resin layer, thus a suspension of hexahydroxo platinic is generated. If gamma rays are irradiated to the suspension, a platinum oxide colloidal solution in which colloidal particles including a platinum dioxide, a platinum monoxide, and a platinum hydroxide exist is generated. In a platinum oxide colloidal solution, the content of impurities is little and a noble metal compound is dispersed stably in water.

  • Publication number: 20180079663
    Abstract: A method in which an anode chamber and a cathode chamber are separated by a cation exchange membrane, an acid solution containing metal ions is introduced into the anode chamber, a cathode solution is introduced into the cathode chamber, and a current is applied across the anode and the cathode, whereby the metal ions in the solution in the anode chamber pass through the cation exchange membrane, move into the cathode solution, and precipitate as metal onto the cathode, wherein there are minimal instances where electrodeposition is impossible or the electrodeposition rate decreases. Pre-adding a salt of the acid contained in the acid solution makes it possible to suppress concentration-diffusion of the acid from the acid solution. Adding a salt of the acid into the cathode chamber makes it possible to reduce the impressed voltage, reduce the amount of hydrogen generated on the cathode, and reduce the amount of power.
