Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for recovering at least one platinum group metal from an ore containing the same. The method comprises reducing the particle size of the ore to provide the platinum group metal in a leachable condition following which the ore is subjected to leaching with a sulfuric acid solution maintained at a pH of less than 1 during leaching. The solution contains an amount of a soluble bromide compound at least sufficient to complex the platinum group metal while maintaining an amount of an oxidizing agent dissolved in the solutions at least sufficient to maintain the platinum group metal in an ionic form conducive to forming a soluble bromide complex, thereby dissolving substantial amounts of the platinum group metal.
