ABSTRACT:
Platinum group metals, gold and silver are extracted from complex ores, automobile scrap, refractory ores and as naturally occurring by leaching the precious metal containing materials with a solution containing halogen salts such as potassium or sodium iodide and bromide in the presence of ammonium ions and oxygen. The precious metal containing materials and reactants are charged into a reaction zone held at high temperatures and pressures to form a slurry containing a precious metal ion solution. The precious metal ion solution is separated from the slurry and subjected to recovering techniques to recover the precious metals.
