Includes bibliographical references. The technical feasibility of the ammonia leaching process of a Platreef flotation concentrate was investigated in different reactor settings i.e. shake flasks, columns and batch stirred tank reactors, respectively. The process investigated aims to use either a heap leaching environment or tank leaching of untreated low-grade concentrates under ambient conditions and mild temperatures. This process is proposed as an alternative primary treatment method for the recovery of base metal sulphides from a PGM containing concentrate that cannot be extracted economically by conventional milling, smelting and refining methods. 2014-07-31T11:14:57Z 2014-07-31T11:14:57Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5432 eng application/pdf Centre for Bioprocess Engineering Research Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
