Two types of platinum group metal particles were found in borosilicate nuclear waste glasses: needle-shaped RuO2 particles and spherical PdRhxTey alloys. They form a dense sediment of high electrical conductivity and relatively high viscosity at the bottom of the ceramic melting furnace. The sludge shows a non-Newtonian flow …
The concentrations of platinum-group elements (PGE) and semimetal elements (As, Sb, Se, Te and Bi) in the base metal sulfides from the Yangliuping deposit were determined using Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICPMS).

Abstract. Solubilities of platinum group metals (Pd, Rh, Pt) in several glasses were investigated by the use of optical absorption measurements. The concentrations of these ions in the glasses were determined by chemical analysis. The absorption cross-sections of the ions were determined by relating the absorption …
Platinum group element behaviour and thermochemical constraints in the ultrabasic–basic complex of the Vizcaino Peninsula, Baja California Sur, Mexico. ...

This study highlights the role of two platinum-group metals, ruthenium and palladium, in the redox equilibria of nuclear waste containment glass. Electrochemical measurements in simplified R7/T7 glass melts were used to develop a thermodynamic model of ruthenium redox equilibrium. The oxygen fugacity at equilibrium, corresponding …
Primarily sourced from layered mafic intrusions, platinum-group elements (PGE: Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pt, and Pd) are typically found within chromitites and/or Ni-, Co-, and Cu-rich sulfide deposits [1, 2], placers associated with Ural-Alaskan and Aldan type complexes [3, 4], and ophiolitic peridotites [].In each of these occurrences, the majority of …

Platinum group elements (PGE: Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pt, Pd) are important geochemical and cosmochemical tracers. Depending on physical and chemical behaviour the PGEs are divided into two subgroups: IPGE (Ir, Os, Ru) and PPGE (Pd, Pt, Rh). Platinum group elements show strong siderophile and chalcophile affinity. Base metal …
