As Platinum is so incredibly rare it can take about as much as 10 tonnes of ore to find one ounce of Platinum. There are several steps in the mining process of Platinum,
Extraction and refining Extraction, concentration and refining of PGMs require complex, costly and energyintensive processes that may take up to six months
Refining platinum ore is a costly and laborious process. It can take from eight weeks to six months to process a batch of ore, and it can take up to 12 tons (11 tonnes) of ore to produce a single troy ounce of platinum. Once
The traditional method for recovering platinumgroup metals (Pt, Pa, Ir, Os, Rh, Ru and Au) is not economically viable in the case of lowgrade deposits, but
The basic extraction of metals from ores has the following steps. Grinding and Crushing. The bigger chunks of the ore extracted are crushed and ground in ball
The extraction degree of platinum (IV) into the strip solution is less than 0.1 % per hour of electrodialysis. About 55% of copper (II) is removed from the feed solution under optimal
At present the final refining stage that produces the individual platinum group metals is carried out by selective precipitation from a solution of mixed platinum group metals, but this is inefficient as far as the degree of
This process involves roasting of the PGM ore followed by acidic bromine leaching of the oxidized PGM ore. In this process, sulfuric acid is used for acidity control, bromine ions for the formation of PGM complexes, and bromine for redox potential control . The simplified flow diagram of the TLM process is shown in Fig. 9.

About 80% of the worlds’ reserves for platinum group metals (PGMs) are in South Africa’s Bushveld Igneous Complex. Processing of PGM involves comminution, flotation, smelting, converting, base
Benchscale research showed that conventional matte smelting and leaching methods could be used to recover the precious metals from the flotation concentrate. More than 95% of the precious metals reported to the matte phase during smelting. Several leaching schemes were evaluated that selectively extracted the base metals from the matte and
The largest known platinum group metal (PGM) deposit in the world is the An overview of Southern African PGM Smelting, Nickel and Cobalt 2005: Challenges in Extraction and Production, 44th Annual Conference of Metallurgists, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, 2124 August 2005, pp.147178. large extent by the type of ore that they
The Mineral Processing Flowsheets shown on the following pages are based on actual data obtained from successful operating plants. Metallurgical data are shown in these flowsheets which incorporate
The first step in this process is to crush platinum containing ore and immerse it in the reagent containing water; a process known as 'froth flotation'. During flotation, air is pumped through the ore
PALLADIUM : More than 80% of the palladium metal mining is located at the Stillwater Mine is automated. Mechanized mining expenditures are in the region of 40% less than nonmechanized
The process begins by adding the sulfideassociated mineral to a reactor with sulfuric acid and pressurised air. This procedure removes the sulphides to obtain nickel (II) sulfate and cobalt (II) sulfate in solution. In this first dissolution stage, the sulfide is removed. NiS + 2O2 NiSO4. CoS + 2O2 CoSO4.
The extraction of platinum from this raffinate was carried out in mixersettlers of 50 ml mixer capacity. a single contact using mixture of 1 M NaOH1 M NaCl. A product solution of 0.89 g/l Pt was obtained. The complete flow sheet of the process is has been developed for recovering palladium and platinum from PGM ore.

The extraction degree of platinum (IV) into the strip solution is less than 0.1 % per hour of electrodialysis. About 55% of copper (II) is removed from the feed solution under optimal conditions. The copper (II) extraction process is characterized by high selectivity. Maximum separation factor exceeds 900 in the studied system.

solventextraction or ionexchange. The uranium industry was the first hydrometallurgical industry to make extensive use of these two unit operations. The active agent in the solventextraction process is usually an organic amine salt, diluted in kerosene, that can selectively extract the uranium ions into an organic complex which is insoluble
ted from the refining process because it is broken down in decomposer towers. However, very strict precautions throughout the refining process are required to prevent the escape of the nickel carbonyl into the workplace. Continuous monitoring for the gas, with automatic isolation of any area of the plant where the gas is detected, is required.
