INVESTIGATION OF THE POSSIBILITY OF PLATINUM-GROUP ELEMENT CLUSTERS IN MAGMATIC SYSTEMS, USING SYNTHETIC SULPHIDE MELTS
The behaviour of platinum-group elements (PGE: Ir, Os, Rh, Ru, Pd and Pt) on a nano level may be the key to the enrichment of PGE in mafic ore bodies, like the Bushveld complex. Temperature controlled sulphide melts were used to investigate possible PGE-rich nano phases or clusters, in a magmatic en...
