摘要
The extraction technology for platinum-group metals (PGMs) has changed dramatically in the last 80 years, and the changes are likely to continue for years to come. This article will review advances in PGM extraction, including developments in semi-autogenous and fully autogenous milling; flotation equipment applications for treating high-chrome ores; increases in power densities for future smelting furnaces, and new methods for meeting rising environmental standards.
