    Abstract

    The fast depletion of sulfide PGM-bearing minerals and the deteriorating socio-political environments in most primary PGM producing countries have triggered interest in exploring PGM recovery from high-chromium PGM-bearing oxidized ores which have proven to be more difficult to process by conventional metallurgical practice. A hybrid pyro-hydrometallurgical approach, that uses cheap and readily available reagents, has been developed and evaluated for treating such ores (with platinum content mineralised as sperrylite) at atmospheric pressure.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
