به خواندن ادامه دهیدHowever, because the concentrations of PGMs in ores are quite low, typically a few parts per million, smelting and refining process require a significant amount of energy and can take several months. To obtain 1 ton of Pt, millions of ton of PGM ore are mined, and most of ore bodies is discarded as useless gangue or slag.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدPurified alumina usually contains 0.5 to 1 percent water, 0.3 to 0.5 percent soda, and less than 0.1 percent other oxides. The Bayer process, with various modifications, is the most widely used method for the production of alumina, and all aluminum is produced from alumina using the Hall-Héroult electrolytic process. Refining the ore
