Platinum-Group Element
Platinum-group element concentrates are made into a matte that is relatively low in iron and sulfur, and enriched in platinum-group elements by smelting and converting. Smelting removes most gangue minerals as molten slag. Converting removes most iron and sulfur by oxidation with air and oxygen. In combination, these two steps upgrade the feed ...

Platinum Group Elements
There are large deposits of platinum group elements in the Merensky and Upper Group 2 reefs in South Africa ("South Africa"). These deposits were formed from silicate magma intrusions. Immiscible sulfide liquid saturates the magma and attracts PGEs along with copper and nickel (Zientek, 2012). As a result, even though the concentration of PGEs ...
