The complete process of extraction consists essentially of enriching this matte to approximately 65 per cent content of platinum metals and then treating this concentrate with acids to separate the individual platinum group metals from each other, followed by final refining. Operations to achieve this can roughly be divided under three headings:
Jul 10, 2017· Dual-listed Platinum Group Metals is taking steps to restructure its mining method at the Maseve mine in South Africa to reduce costs and minimise job losses.The restructuring by Platinum Group Metals would involve a change in primary mining method and cost reductions to create a sustainable future for the mine.
Opening new platinum group elements mines: PGEs are concentrated in only a few locations worldwide. The deposits in these locations should be sufficient for the next several decades, but could last longer with increased recycling efforts and decreasing use (Cawthorn, 2010).
of the platinum group metals; therefore under suitable conditions a nickel matte can be produced that is low in copper and will contain the platinum group metals. At Brimsdown this operation is mainly carried out in a blast furnace, although six-ton Platinum Metals Rev., 1963, 7, (41, 137
The IsaMill is an energy-efficient mineral industry grinding mill that was jointly developed in the 1990s by Mount Isa Mines Limited ("MIM", a subsidiary of MIM Holdings Limited and now part of the Glencore Xstrata group of companies) and Netzsch Feinmahltechnik ("Netzsch"), a German manufacturer of bead mills. The IsaMill is primarily known for its ultrafine grinding applications …

The invention discloses a method for efficiently collecting platinum group metals through mixing reduction smelting of iron powder and iron ores. The method comprises the steps that platinum group metal secondary resource materials, an iron collecting agent, a reducing agent, a slag forming constituent, a binding agent and water are subjected to full wet-grinding in a ball mill …
Gold is best measured by the fire assay method. Photo: Alchemist-hp. 4. Ruthenium. This member of the platinum metals retains many of the group's characteristics, including hardness, rarity and an ability to withstand outside elements. Largest producers: Russia, North and South America, and Canada.
The primary reason for milling materials to smaller particles in Platinum Group Minerals (PGMs) size reduction is to liberate the valuable components dispersed in the host matrix. When the material has been reduced in a size, enough to give sufficient liberation of the valuable components, the valuable components will be separated from the host matrix by the …
Recovery of PGMs (especially rhodium, platinum, and palladium) from different spent manufactured products (like catalytic converters) is considered as an important task as they are rarely found in nature, and they possess high economic value.
