This paper studies the recycling of platinum and palladium catalysts by examining the re-extraction from these systems which are formed in the organic phase on extraction by tri-noctylbenzylammonium chloride. The authors compare the data obtained with the behavior of the complexes to be extracted in nonpolar organic solvents. The results are presented for the -extraction of platinum (II) and palladium (II) from the organic phase. It is shown that when palladium nitro-complexes extracted from nitrite media by quaternary ammonium salts are re-extracted by ammonium hydroxide solutions, the nitro group is completely replaced by an ammine group with the formation of the cation (pd(NH/sub 3/)/sub 4/)/sup 2 +/.
