Platinum’s unique properties, such as its high resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, are driving an increased use in modern technologies and advanced chemistry. However, the World Platinum Investment Council has projected, for the third consecutive year, a global deficit of platinum for 2025 and a negative forecast until 2029, highlighting the need for the development of new metallurgical methodologies to recover platinum but also to recycle product containing it. The use of alkaline amino acid (glycine) promises a highly selective and more environmentally friendly recovery methodology. Over the Platinum Group Metals, recovery studies have been performed only on palladium, but no published literature over platinum was found. This study investigated the feasibility of platinum adsorption from alkaline glycine solutions under various operational conditions using activated carbon. Results are demonstrating that platinum can be successfully recovered under the effects tested: 92.37–97.93% (carbon dosage), 70.00–95.72% (temperature), 94.08–97.39% (pH), 95.16–96.23% (platinum concentration), 95.72–96.53% (glycine concentration), and 95.72–97.12% (cyanide concentration). The scientific significance of this study lies in the confirmation for the potential use of a more environmentally friendly approach to recover platinum as opposed to the current cyanide and acidic chloride system.
