Behavior of platinum in the system of the matte-slag in the processing of copper-nickel materials by Amdur A., Selivanov E., Fedorov S., Pavlov V., Krasikov S.

“…The decreases in the content of platinum in dispersed needle formations can be explained by an increase in the thermodynamic activity and changing properties of the dispersed substance and a corresponding increase in solubility. It was found that matte drops, together with their associated platinumcontaining particles of no more than 5-7 μm in size, were carried into the slag by gas bubbles using flotation. …”
