摘要：
¶The behaviour of platinum-group elements (PGE) during milling and flotation of the UG-2 chromitite layer is still poorly understood. The PGE in the UG-2 chromitite occur primarily in discrete platinum-group mineral phases, varying from sulphide assemblages (predominantly cooperite, braggite, malanite and laurite) to assemblages comprising a significant component of alloys (such as Pt-Fe alloy) or various telluride, bismuthinide, bismuthotelluride, arsenide and sulpharsenide phases.
