In this context, we aim at developing a green process for the recovery of silver, palladium, and gold from rich printed-circuit boards (cell phones, labtops…). The recovery will be conducted after the necessary stages of non-metallic materials removal and the beneficiation of less precious metals such as copper and nickel, carried out by Terra Nova Development (TND), our industrial partner.The process envisaged is based on electrometallurgy in “Deep eutectic solvents” (DES), a technology that can be considered as green alternative to conventional hydrometallurgy for precious metals recovery. Indeed, DES have a low reactivity and volatility, making them far less noxious to environment than corrosive liquors employed in conventional processes (cyanides, aqua regia). In particular, the DES named Ethaline (choline chloride-ethylene glycol mixture) has been widely used in electrometallurgy, because of its acceptable viscosity and the presence of substantial Cl- concentration leading to a high solubility of numerous metallic compounds. However, if choline chloride (ChCl) can be considered as a “green” reactant, ethylene glycol (EG) is known to be harmful to men and animals in case of repeated exposure or inhalation periods. Comparable DES with a lower toxic nature than Ethaline can be obtained by replacing EG by other glycols e.g. propylene glycol (PG), widely used in cosmetics and pharmacology, with costs comparable to those of EG: The resulting DES is named Propeline. We will present the potential of this less known DES in the recovery of precious metals. Because the change in the hydrogen bond donor with PG leads to a modification of the DES bulk properties, the first part of this work deals with the determination of Propeline density, viscosity, conductivity and electrochemical stability, which are properties of interest for electrochemical processes. The influence of water content on these properties was thoroughly investigated. Values of the above property parameters are compared to those obtained with Ethaline as a reference DES. In a second part, we will present the performances of Propeline for the electrochemical leaching of Ag, Pd and Au. The performance of Propeline in leaching was evaluated in ambient atmosphere, i.e. in the presence of water at percent levels. Leaching efficiencies could be studied after thorough development of analytical procedures dedicated to elemental analysis e.g. ICP-EOS in DES. The speciation of leached metals was determined by use of cross-linked analysis, namely UV-vis, and EXAFS/XANES spectroscopic techniques, in both cases with comparison with those in Ethaline. Systems (leached metal species-DES) were then thoroughly studied by electrochemical methods. In particular, diffusion coefficients of the solvated metal species were determined by electrochemical transient and stationary techniques, in the aim of leached metal recovery by electrochemical deposition.

Indium recovery by coupling liquid-liquid extraction and electrodeposition in ionic liquids
Abstract
The development of water immiscible room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) naturally suggested their use for biphasic extraction as an alternative to molecular organic solvents most notably for their low vapor pressure . However, although liquid-liquid extraction processes using RTILs often reach high efficiency and selectivity, the difficult de-extraction of metallic species is to date as a major technical lock. In this context, in situ electrodeposition in the ionic liquid phase after liquid-liquid extraction could allow species recovery in their metallic form.In this work, we studied the possibility to recover indium by coupling liquid-liquid extraction followed by in situ electrodeposition in the ionic liquid phase. Indium was classified in June 2010 as a critical raw material by the European Commission, due to its high relative economic importance and to high relative supply risk .We first investigated the electrodeposition of In in 1-butyl-1-ethylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (BEPipNTf2) in ambient atmosphere, after its synthesis and its purification . This RTIL, characterized by a wide electrochemical window, a low viscosity and an ultra-low hygroscopic character presents good properties for liquid-liquid extraction and consecutive electrodeposition. Then, based on the works of F. Kubota et al.[4] who showed that In(III) can be quantitatively and selectively extracted in an ionic liquid using trimethylphosphine oxide (TOPO) as extractant, we studied the electrochemical behavior of In(III)-TOPO complex. Voltammetric studies revealed that TOPO is non electroactive and that the In-TOPO complex can be reduced within the electrochemical window of the ionic liquid. The influence of the extractant on the electrodeposition of metallic indium was studied and it appears that indium can be quantitatively electrodeposited in the presence of TOPO.Finally, the feasibility of In electrodeposition in ambient atmosphere after liquid-liquid extraction was then demonstrated.
