| 摘要 |
This invention relates to a process in which a Platinum Group Metal (PGM)-rich residue from a BMR (Base Metals Refinery) process is subjected to a high temperature roast to remove contaminants, typically volatile elements (for example Se, Te, As, S, Bi, Os) and obtain a roast product. The roast product is smelted with a flux to form a slag phase and an alloy phase, and to vaporize sulphates and heavy metals like Pb, Te, and remove stable oxide compounds such as Si02 and oxides of Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Cr, Te, Bi to the slag phase. The alloy and the slag phase are separated, and the alloy phase is then melted and atomized with a gas or liquid atomization process to form fine alloy particles that can be dissolved in water and treated in a hydrometallurgical PMR (Precious Metals Refinery) process. |
