Abstract

The invention relates to a method for separating rhodium from an aqueous hydrochloric solution which contains at least one chloro complex of rhodium and at least one chloro complex of iridium and/or at least one chloro complex of ruthenium. The invention is characterized in that the rhodium is precipitated out of the aqueous hydrochloric solution with a redox potential of ≥950 to 1050 mV using an aliphatic polyamine as a poorly soluble rhodium chloro complex salt while explicitly dispensing with a previously carried out joint separation together with the iridium and/or the ruthenium.
