Hello friends, in this issue, we are talking about iridium trichloride**. Let's dive right into the topic and see how exciting this process really is.
Iridium trichloride is generally used as a by-product in chemical processes, so we need to refine iridium trichloride from these complex mixtures. The first step in extraction is separation, separating the iridium-containing solution from other unrelated substances. We use solvent extraction, which is able to dissolve iridium trichloride without dissolving solvents of other substances.
The next thing we get is an iridium-containing solution. But what we need is pure iridium trichloride, so the next step is purification. In general, we use chemical precipitation. By adding a specific chemical agent, iridium trichloride precipitates out of the solution in solid form.
The precipitated iridium trichloride cannot be used directly and requires further treatment, such as drying and purification. Drying is well understood, which is to remove the water from the sediment. Purification is done by heating to remove possible organic impurities to ensure that the iridium trichloride we obtain is of high purity.
