Recovery of PGMs from an oxide ore by flotation and leaching
The characterisation of the nonsulphide PGM ore used in this study indied that the ore is enriched in oxide iron minerals as a result of weathering. In the flotation work, the maximum PGM flotation recoveries achieved using the sulphide cocollector schemes were % 3E (Pt, Pd and Au). Appliion of the hydroxamate oxide collector improved the flotation performance to recoveries of ...
