Platinum is an incredibly rare metal that is mined and extracted in a variety of different ways depending on the technological sophisti ion of the miners attempting to extract it. It is incredibly difficult to find in large pure quantities, so it needs to be extracted from the ore in a very specific way. Platinum ore can be obtained through controlled explosions or by advanced mining ...
Improved techniques and more modern equipment are always under review, but the basic process for extraction of the platinum metals has remained essentially the same. Rustenburg converter matte contains about 46 per cent of nickel and 28 per cent copper, together with some other base metals and sulphur. The platinum group metals, together with ...

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 metals refinery and precious metals refinery. Due to increasing chrome content in the feed and the challenges associated with operating high chrome feed, alternative routes to smelting of PGM are ...
Platinum extraction, uses and environmental impacts. A seminar presented to Tamil Nadu Agricultural University.
The extraction process Before a mine is even opened the potential site is explored and assessed for viability, in other words, is it profitable to extract the metal from the ore. Assuming that this process demonstrates the commercial viability the mining operation is established, the actual process can begin. Foam flotation: The platinum ore is crushed and milled, which increases the surface ...
The Kell Process has been developed for the extraction of platinum group metals PGMs and base metals from sulphide flotation concentrates. The process has been successfully tested on several ...
