POTENTIAL CHANGES IN THE PHYSICAL …

improvements in the flow sheets for platinum minerals beneficiation. There are, however, more potential changes in the flow sheets that may improve the recovery of platinum group metals or reduce the costs of beneficiation before refining. Based on known technology of pre-concentration, milling, gravity concentration,

Beneficiation

Beneficiation includes crushing, grinding, gravity concentration and flotation concentration. Beneficiation is followed by processing activities such as smelting and refining. The beneficiation process begins with milling, which is followed by flotation for further beneficiation. ... S.K. Haldar, in Platinum-Nickel-Chromium Deposits, 2017.

Platinum‐group metals

The six elements of the platinum group – ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum – are referred as platinum-group metals (PGM). Enrichment of PGM occurs in deposits of several types developed in a limited range of geological settings, commonly associated with nickel and copper.
