Redoubling platinum group metal smelting intensity-operational challenges and solutions

The 2003 redoubling in power to 68MW on the Polokwane Smelter furnace represented a significant intensification in platinum group metal (PGM) smelting. Combined with onerous 'green' PGM concentrate smelting requirements, this yielded conditions unusually corrosive to copper coolers and ref...
