  • Precious metal recovery from organics-precious metal compositions with supercritical water reactant
    Patent number: 7122167
    Abstract: A supercritical oxidation process carried out in water is capable of oxidizing “organics” in precious metal organic compositions such as heterogeneous (Pt/C) or homogeneous precious metal catalysts and producing a precious metal oxide with few by-products and low losses of precious metal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 10, 2001
    Date of Patent: October 17, 2006
    Assignees: Johnson Matthey Public Limited Company, Chematur Engineering AB
