Oct 02, 2017 Platinum group metals PGMs are a group of six elements, namely iridium Ir, osmium Os, platinum Pt, palladium Pd, rhodium Rh and ruthenium Ru PGMs together with gold and silver are classified as noble or precious metals because of their high corrosion and oxidation resistance The worlds reserves of platinum group

The underground mining methods we use include room and pillar, narrow vein stoping and large scale mechanised mining Room and pillar mining is a style of mining where tunnels are driven in a chess board pattern with massive square pillars between them which are gradually cut away as the work proceeds We use this for mining coal

Mining is the process of digging into the earth to extract naturally occurring minerals It can be categorized as surface mining, underground mining, and in situ mining Surface mining is used to excavate ores at or close to the earth's surface underground and in situ mining both remove minerals from deeper deposits

Apr 13, 2020 Because platinum is so rare, it must be extracted after being mined through a process that involves crushing it into incredibly small particles and separating these particles from one another This is known as the flotation separation method, and produces a frothy layer of particles that can be skimmed to provide the extracted platinum

Dec 08, 2019 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 water slurry Platinum particles chemically attach on to the oxygen and rise to the surface in a froth that is skimmed off for further refining

Platinum Group Metals PGMs are recovered through underground and open pit mining from poly metallic sulphide ores containing PGMs, Nickel, Copper and other metals: Platinum Pt, Palladium Pd, Rhodium Rh and Ruthenium Ru are the most prevalent of the six PGMs, with Iridium Ir, and Osmium Os found in much smaller quantities

Apr 25, 2017 People have been mining platinum and gold and many other precious minerals from underneath the surface of our earth for thousands of years These activities may have depleted some of these minerals in some places, but scientists recently discovered that the earth indeed has enormous amounts of these deposits, especially those sitting close to

Sep 19, 2014 However, in mining using 4 5 tonnes of ore to produce one gram of platinum would not be considered abnormal 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
