Platinum Extraction
Since platinum extraction and production is a quite complex process, there is a wide scope for research and technology advances in this field. New technologies are continuously developed to reduce operating costs and increase efficiency in the platinum extraction process. The platinum group of metals comprises platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium, and ruthenium, of which platinum is the most important. Platinum and palladium are the most abundant and most widely used of the group; the other four metals are mainly used as alloy modifiers with platinum or palladium. The high melting points, corrosion resistance, and catalytic properties of these metals have many industrial applications. Through continued improvement in efficiency we ended up with significant gains in our platinum extraction with a higher output.
