The recycling of scarce elements such as platinum-group metals is becoming crucial due to their growing importance in current and emerging applications. In this sense, the recovery of palladium and rhodium from a spent auto-catalyst by leaching in HCl/CuCl media was studied, aiming at assessing the kinetic performance as well as the influence of some processing factors, and the behaviour of contaminant metals. Based on a kinetic model developed for the present case, the influence of temperature was evaluated and the corresponding values of activation energy were estimated as 60.1 ± 4.1 kJ mol for Pd and 44.3 ± 7.3 kJ mol for Rh, indicating the relevance of the chemical step rather than diffusion. This finding was corroborated by the non-significant influence of the stirring velocity. The reaction orders were estimated for each leaching reagent: for HCl, values of 2.1 ± 0.1 for Pd and 1.0 ± 0.3 for Rh were obtained; for Cu the obtained values were 0.42 ± 0.04 for Pd and 0.36 ± 0.06 for Rh. Without any significant loss of efficiency, solutions with higher metal concentrations were obtained using lower liquid/solid ratios, such as 5 L/kg. The main contaminant in solution was aluminum, and its leaching was found to be very dependent on the temperature and acid concentration.

Precious metal recovery from secondary sources has received significant attention due to the reduced availability of precious metals from conventional sources. Herein, chitosan (CHT) was modified via cross-linking with glutaraldehyde (glu) to yield CHT-glu adsorbents with improved physicochemical and adsorption properties with precious metal ions (Au(III) and Pd(II)). CHT-glu adsorbents were prepared at variable glu ratios and characterized via complementary spectral (IR, C solids NMR, XPS) and thermogravimetry methods.

Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (SMC), a crucial C-C cross-coupling reaction, is still associated with challenges such as high synthetic costs, intricate work-ups, and contamination with homogeneous metal catalysts. Research intensely focuses on strategies to convert homogeneous soluble metal catalysts into insoluble powder solids, promoting heterogeneous catalysis for easy recovery and reuse as well as for exploring greener reaction protocols. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), recognized for their high surface area, porosity, and presence of transition metals, are increasingly studied for developing heterogeneous SMC.

N-termini Cyano group (CN) in metal hexacyanoferrates (MHCF) have been identified as specific-affinity sites for palladium (Pd), but C-termini CN do not effectively serve as Pd adsorption sites due to their stronger bonds with the metal ligands (M), which reduces the activity and density of CN. Herein, the optimization of directional coordination of cyano group C/N-termini by modulating the electronic structure of the M (Fe, Co, and Ni) in MHCF was investigated to reinforce the Pd recovery. Spectroscopic analyses and DFT calculations revealed that NiHCF exhibited N-site mono-coordination, whereas CoHCF displayed C-site mono-coordination due to spin-exchange interactions, leading to the strengthened N-Co bonds and weakened Fe-C bonds.

A new nanopalladium surface molecularly imprinted covalent organic framework (MICOF) catalytic probe (Pd@TpPa) for enrofloxacin (ENR) was synthesized by molecular imprinting technology, using 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and p-phenylenediamine (Pa) as monomers, ENR as the template molecule, and palladium nanoparticles (PdNP) as the core of nanocatalytic probe. This nanoprobe not only specifically recognizes ENR but also catalyzes the cupric tartrate-glucose (GL) indicator reaction. The amino groups in TpPa replace the tartrate ions, forming a new complex with Cu.

One of the main challenges in animal breeding systems is determining estradiol (E2) in livestock samples as simple and minimally invasive as possible, Thus, a nonenzymatic biosensor screen-printed electrode (SPE) was developed by modifying nanohybrid palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs), and carbon dots anchored on a nanosilica particle (PdNPs/C.dots/SiO), denominated SPE/PdNPs/C.dots/SiO, and successfully tested for the direct detection of estradiol in livestock samples.
