Partitioning of PGEs in Nickel Converter Matte Phases: Direct Observations by Electron Microscopy and Electron Probe Microanalysis

A recent study investigated the mineralogy and basic mineral chemistry of PGE-containing nickel converter matte phases as a function of their iron-endpoints from actual fast cooled production samples. Important findings from the study indicate that the formation of stable phases and their associated...
