Pt, Pd, and Rh platinum group metals (PGMs) are utilized in automotive catalytic converters to reduce the level of harmful gas emissions. To evaluate the separation efficiencies of PGMs from the leach liquors of automotive catalysts, their extractabilities from both single-component solutions and leach liquors were determined using three p-dialkylaminomethylcalix[4]arenes (alkyl: n-hexyl~n-octyl; 3–5) as extractants, and the obtained results were compared with the data of acyclic p-di-n-octylaminomethyldimethylphenol (6) and those previously reported for macrocyclic calix[4]arene- and thiacalix[n]arene-based amine and amide extractants. Various extraction parameters, including the contact time, HCl concentration, and concentrations of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) ions, were examined, and the distributions and stoichiometry ratios of the recovered Pd(II) and Pt(IV) species were calculated. All macrocyclic extractants 3–5 exhibited high and selective extractabilities of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) ions contained in the leach liquors of automotive catalysts. The E% values of 3–5 from the leach liquors were 94.2, 93.0, and 97.7 for Pd(II) and 91.7, 94.0, and 92.5 for Pt(IV), respectively. Acyclic compound 6 did not perform well even though higher ratios of extractant used. Furthermore, the results of reusability testing demonstrated relatively large extractability values obtained for these two metals even after five extraction/stripping cycles.
