The extraction technology for platinum- group metals (PGMs) has changed dramati- cally in the last 80 years, and the changes are likely to continue for years to come.

The general methods of extracting and separating platinum from spent catalysts include pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy.

The extraction of platinum group elements is a highly expensive process, emphasizing the need to achieve maximum extraction efficiency into the concentrate. The process of extracting PGMs involves several key steps. • crushing and grinding of the ore; • obtaining a sulfide concentrate rich in platinum, primarily through froth flotation; •

The first separation step is usually the solvent extraction of gold, followed by palladium or platinum. The remaining PGMs are recovered at the beginning or end of the entire process. In each case, the separation leads to pure solutions of the relevant metals, which are reduced to a pure powder or sponge.

Platinum (Pt), Palladium (Pd), Rhodium (Rh) and Ruthenium (Ru) are the most prevalent of the six PGMs, with Iridium (Ir), and Osmium (Os) found in much smaller quantities. Gold is often associated with PGM deposits and treated as part of a family — with Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium —collectively known as "4E".

The third step is the extraction process. This is done by crushing the ore into minuscule pieces, once this is done the next process the platinum must proceed through is the flotation separation process, which relies on air particles to push the Platinum particles to the top. They are then skimmed off for refining.
