Flotation is a concentrating process that has been around since 1860 with the first patent by William Hayes. Early in the 20th century flotation evolved into the process familiar to metallurgists today. The drive has always been towards optimising the grade and recovery profile of the flotation process.
Consequently, in 1994 it was decided to improve PGM recoveries by installing regrind milling and secondary rougher/cleaner flotation, on the existing plant tails (MF2 type circuit Figure 4).
process to extract PGMs and BMs from low-grade, high chromium, UG2 concentrates. The first stage was a bioleach utilising thermophilic microorganisms, operating at a temperature of 65°C, to extract BMs from the concentrate material.
Platinum group metals (PGM) occur in many copper-nickel ores where pentlandite is present, particularly for reef type ore bodies. Other sulphide minerals also typically associated in PGM ores are chalcopyrite, chalcocite, pyrrhotite and pyrite.

In PGM processes, hydrometallurgy is not viewed as effective for PGM/iron separation because of the large volume and high surface area of iron precipitates relative to quantities of PGMs typically involved.
size-by-assay analyses of the laboratory milled products and flotation tailings for a low grade UG-2 ore sample from the hydrocyclone (densifier) underflow were compared to the standard process. The effects on the recovery of PGEs, and the entrainment of Cr2O3 were measured in combined batch rougher flotation tests.

Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic. This is used in mineral processing, paper recycling and waste-water treatment industries. Historically this was first used in the mining industry, where it was one of the great enabling technologies of the 20th century.
Pyrite flotation is usually enhanced by addition of organic collectors. Among these, xanthates are the most widely used (Wang and Forssberg, 1991; Wills, 1997). For decades, the three main surface xanthate compounds, xanthate ion, iron-xanthate complex and dixanthogen, have been considered to improve pyrite flotation mechanisms.
The Kell Process is a leap forward in PGM, polymetallic, gold, lithium and base metal concentrate processing technology, by bringing enhanced economic outcomes including much lower power consumption, efficient processing to metals in a matter of days and a range of environmental benefits.
