Abstract

An efficient beneficiation-hydrometallurgy combined process was proposed to treat the Jinbaoshan platinum group concentrate. The process included three steps: (1) oxygen pressure leaching of the platinum group concentrate to dissociate platinum group metals (PGMs) from base metal minerals; (2) separating PGMs from silicate minerals by physical flotation; (3) removing sulfur from the flotation concentrate by alkaline leaching. Through the beneficiation-metallurgy combined process, the grade of PGMs increased to 1193 g/t, which was > 27 times higher than that of the raw concentrate. The recovery of Pt and Pd was 92.29% and 90.06%, respectively.
