The solvent extraction for the separation of platinum group metals from the leach liquor of spent automotive catalysts has been studied. Tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP), tri-n-octylamine (TOA) and di-n-hexyl sulfide (DHS) were used as extractants and kerosene as a diluent. The extraction behavior of platinum, palladium and rhodium has been investigated as functions of different kinds of extractants and their concentrations. In addition, the extraction behavior of the major metal impurities such as cerium, lead, iron, magnesium and aluminum has been investigated. Platinum and palladium were extracted with TBP. And platinum, palladium and rhodium were extracted with TOA. Platinum was co-extracted with palladium into the organic phase by solvent extraction using SFI-6 of DHS extractant, but only palladium was selectively extracted with SFI-6R. The selective extraction of palladium with SFI-6R was found better than that with SFI-6, but the kinetics of extraction with SFI-6R was found poor in comparison to SFI-6. The metal impurities extracted simultaneously during the extraction of platinum group metals should be removed in scrubbing and stripping processes. A suitable process has been proposed for the separation of platinum group metals from the leach liquor of spent automotive catalysts. Initially palladium was extracted with SFI-6R, followed by the separation of platinum with TBP or TOA leaving rhodium in the raffinate.

A bath for electrodeposition of platinum nanoparitcles on low-cost graphite substrates was developed to attach nanoparticles directly onto a substrate, and electrochemical characteristics of the electrodeposition of platinum nanoparticles were investigated. The reaction mechanism was examined by the analysis of polarization behavior. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed that the elecrodeposition of platinum nanoparticles was limited by mass transfer. The chronoamperometric study showed an instantaneous nucleation mechanism during the electrodeposition of platinum nanoparticles on graphite. Because graphite is much cheaper than other carbon-based substrates, the electrodeposition of platinum nanoparticles on the graphite is expected to have useful applications.

KHPC-002 $[(trans-l-diaminocyclohexane-bis-l,2(diphenylphosphinoethane)platinum)\;{\cdot}2NO_3]$ and $KHPC-006[(cis-diaminocyclohexane-bis-1,2(diphenylphosphinoethane)platinum)\;{\cdot}2NO_3]$ were synthesized as candidates for third platinum antitumor agent. Before their pharmacokinetic study, we optimized the analytical condition with HPLC and identified the major metabolites in the rat plasma. HPLC analysis by $C_{18}$ reverse-phase column showed that standard peak of both compounds appeared rapidly at around 1 minutes, whereas metabolites of KHPC-002 and KHPC-006 which were extracted from plasma after single I.V. administration in rats or incubation for 24 hr at $37^{\circ}C$ showed retention time of $10{\sim}11$ minutes. These metabolites were identified as the major compound by Matrix Associated Laser Deposition/Ionization (MALDI), which only lose the 2 molecules of $NO_3$. Based on these results, we suggest that the major metabolites of KHPC-002 and KHPC-006 were [trans-l-diamino-cyclohexane-bis-l,2(diphenylphosphinoethane)platinum] and [cis-diaminocyclohexane-bis-l.2(diphenylphosphinoethane)platinum], respectively.

The present study examined pharmacokinetic profiles of KBP31705-Cl27 and KBP30603-901, new platinum coordination complexes synthesized as anticancer candidates, in comparison with two well-known platinum-containing anticancer agents, cisplatin and carboplatin in rats. Under sodium pentobarbital anesthesia of male Sprague-Dawley rats, urinary bladder, and femoral artery and vein were catheterized for urine collection, blood sampling and drug injection, respectively Following i.v. administration of cisplatin (2 mg/kg), KBP31705-C127 (2 mg/kg), carboplatin (20 mg/kg) or KBP30603-901 (20 mg/kg), blood samples were collected at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 120 minutes. Urine samples were collected at 1-hr interval for 4 hr. Platinum concentrations in plasma and urine were measured using an inductively coupled plasmamass spectrometer. The plasma concentration-time curves were biphasic for all drugs during the time period studied. Compared with cisplatin, KBP31705-C127 showed similar decay patters in the alpha- and betaphases with slightly lower plasma concentrations. Urinary platinum excretion for cisplatin and KBP31705-C 127 was 56 and 52% of the administered dose in 4 hr, respectively. With regard to carboplatin and KBP 30603-901, a similar decay pattern was also observed in the alpha-phase. The half life of KBP30603-901 in the beta-phase, however, was much longer than that of carboplatin, which was consistent with the urinary excretion results that 46 and 59% of the administered dose were excreted in the urine in 4hr, respectively. The results suggest that platinum coordination complexes are primarily excreted via the renal route and KBP30603-901 can elicit longer duration of action due to slower renal excretion compared to carboplatin.

We have synthesized new platinum(II) analogs containing 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (dach) as a carrier ligand, 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino) propane (DPPP) /1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (DPPE) as a leaving group and nitrates to improve solubility. In the present study, the cytotoxicity of $[Pt(trans-l-dach)(DPPP)]\;2NO_3$ (KHPC-001) and $[Pt(trans-l-dach)(DPPE)]\;2NO_3$ (KHPC-002) was evaluated and compared on various P-388 cancer cell lines and porcine kidney cell line ($LLC-PK_1$). The new platinum complexes demonstrated high efficacy on P-388 mouse leukemia cell line as well as cisplatin-resistant (P-388/CDDP) and adriamycin-resistant (P-388/ADR) P-388 cell lines. The intracellular platinum content was measured by a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (FAAS), and it was comparable to the results of $IC_{50}$ of the three complexes on $LLC-PK_1$ and P-388/S cells, while only DPPE compound was accumulated in high volume in P-388/ADR and P-388/CDDP cells. While the DNA-interstrand cross-links of KHPC-001, KHPC-002 and cisplatin were similar on P-388/S leukemia cells, these new platinum complexes were much less DNA cross-linking to a kidney derived cell line, $LLC-PK_1$. These results indicate that KHPC-001 and KHPC-002 are a third-generation platinum complexes with potent antitumor activity and low nephrotoxicity.

Background The most common surgical treatment for paralytic lagophthalmos is the placement of a weight implant in the upper eyelid; however, this technique confers the risks of implant visibility, implant extrusion, and entropion. In this study, we present a new technique of placing platinum weight implants between the levator aponeurosis and inner septum to decrease such complications. Methods A total of 37 patients with paralytic lagophthalmos were treated between March 2014 and January 2017 with platinum weight placement (mean follow-up, 520.1 days). After dissecting through the orbicularis oculi muscle, the tarsal plate and levator aponeurosis were exposed. The platinum weights (1.0-1.4 g) were fixed to the upper margin of the tarsal plate and placed underneath the orbital septum. Results Five patients could partially close their eye after surgery. The average distance between the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid when the eyes were closed was 1.12 mm. The rest of the patients were able to close their eye completely. Three patients patient developed allergic conjunctivitis after platinum weight insertion, which was managed with medication. None of the patients complained of discomfort in the upper eyelid after surgery. Visibility or extrusion of the implant were observed in three patients. Conclusions Postseptal weight placement is a safe and reproducible method in both primary and secondary upper eyelid surgery for patients with paralytic lagophthalmos. It is a feasible method for preventing implant visibility, implant exposure, and entropion. Moreover, platinum is a better implant material than gold because of its smaller size and greater thinness.

Objective : The Solitaire Platinum 4×40 mm stent retriever contains radiopaque markers with a long length. We evaluated the effect of Solitaire Platinum 4×40 mm stent retriever in Solumbra technique thrombectomy, and compared it with shorter Solitaire stent retrievers. Methods : A total of 70 patients who underwent Solumbra technique thrombectomy with equal diameter (4 mm) and different length (40 vs. 20 mm) Solitaire stent retrievers were divided into two groups : the Solitaire Platinum 4×40 mm stent (4×40) group and the Solitaire FR 4×20 mm stent or Solitaire Platinum 4×20 mm stent (4×20) group. The clinical outcomes, Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score, the first pass reperfusion status, and complications were evaluated and compared between the two groups. Multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive factors for reperfusion and complete reperfusion from the first pass. Results : Higher first-pass reperfusion and complete reperfusion were achieved in the 4×40 group (68.0% and 48.0%) than in the 4×20 group (46.7% and 33.3%; p=0.004 and 0.007, respectively). In multivariate analysis, radiopaque device and longer stent retriever were correlated with first-pass reperfusion (p=0.014 and 0.008, respectively) and first-pass complete reperfusion (p=0.022 and 0.012, respectively). Conclusion : Our study demonstrated the usefulness of the Solitaire Platinum 4×40 mm stent retriever, which led to higher first-pass reperfusion and complete reperfusion rates than the Solitaire FR 4×20 mm stent or the Solitaire Platinum 4×20 mm stent, especially in Solumbra technique thrombectomy.

The reductive precipitation of platinum and palladium in hydrochloric acid solution using hydrazine as a reducing agent was investigated. The reductive precipitation ratios of platinum and palladium increased when increasing the stoichiometric ratio for reducing agent, precipitation time, and pH. The precipitation ratio of platinum was much lower than that of palladium. This is the reason the reaction rate of $PtCl{_6}^{2-}{\rightarrow}PtCl{_4}^{2-}$ at the reduction reaction step of $PtCl{_6}^{2-}{\rightarrow}PtCl{_4}^{2-}{\rightarrow}Pt$ is very slow. The purity of platinum precipitated was very affected by metallic impurities, while it was possible to precipitate the high purity palladium since the precipitation rate of palladium was relatively fast. At the pH of 1.3, the precipitation temperature of $25^{\circ}C$, and the addition amounts of the hydrazine of 10 and 1.75 times the stoichiometric ratio, the reductive precipitation ratios of platinum and palladium from their hydrochloric acid solutions containing 2,000 ppm were 98.5% and 99.9% in 30 min, respectively.

Spent catalysts containing platinum were generated in petroleum refinery and other chemical industries. The reclamation of platinum metals from such wastes has long been attempted in view of their rare, expensive and indispensable nature. In this study, the recovery of platinum from petroleum catalysts was attempted by a method consisting mainly of dissolving alumina carrier with sulfuric acid thereby concentrating insoluble platinum. Also, platinum dissolved partially in sulfuric acid was recovered by a cementation method using aluminum metal as a reductive agent. The effect of temperature, time, concentration of sulfuric acid, and pulp density on the dissolution of carrier was investigated. When the carrier of platinum catalyst was $\Upsilon-Al_2$O$_3$ about 95% alumina was dissolved in 6.0 M sulfuric acid at $100^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. When the carrier was the mixture of $\Upsilon-Al_2$$O_3$ and $\alpha$-$Al_2$$O_3$ about 92% was dissolved after 4 hours. As a result, more than 99% of platinum could be recovered by this method and aluminum sulfate was also obtained as byproduct.
