The impact of grinding environment on flotation has been investigated for different ores. In the flotation of platinum-group minerals (PGMs) from the Overysel ore (Bushveld complex in South Africa), dry grinding produced more fine particles, led to a higher degree of liberation for the PGMs but lower recoveries than wet grinding [11].
Platinum-group metals are found mainly as arsenides, sulfarsenides, sulfides and platinum-iron alloys in gabbroic rocks. Major losses of platinum-group met ...

Miettunen et al. (2012), in a study of a low sulphur containing platinum group mineral (PGM) ore found that forged media grinding in a CO 2 atmosphere led to the highest Pt and Pd grades and recoveries whereas the high chrome grinding media gave lower flotation recoveries. Studies carried out using autogenous grinding have indicated …

SAG mills are primarily used in the mining industry, particularly in the processing of gold, copper, and platinum group metals. On the other hand, AG mills, or Autogenous Grinding mills, use only the ore itself as grinding media. They are smaller in size than SAG mills and can be used for smaller quantities of ore. ... The type of grinding ...
That complex today hosts the world's largest reserves of plati-num group metals (PGMs). The Bushveld ores contain platinum, palladium, rhodium, gold, ruthenium, iridium and osmium (the PGMs), as well as nickel, copper, and cobalt in economically re-coverable quantities. Three broad ore types are found within the BIC and exploited for their ...
