The recovery mechanism of platinum group metals from
For PGM particles to settle by gravity in the experimentally observed timescale they need to be of the order of 200 μm. 2. PGM particles cannot easily be observed directly in the autocat and the best estimates of their size is 1–20 μm. This must mean that the recovery process cannot be driven from the fall of PGM droplets by gravity.

Recovery of PGMs (especially rhodium platinum and palladium) from different spent manufactured products (like catalytic converters) is considered as an important task as they are rarely found in nature and they possess high economic value. In this work the honeycomb of a car catalytic converter was primarily processed by crushing grinding and then treating in a hydrogen atmosphere.
