Reflections on narrow-reef platinum mining pillar
The success of platinum mining by the bord and pillar method depends heavily on a comprehensive and dependable pillar design method. Pillars need to be large enough to safely support the load and small enough to Efficiency data for four different mining methods drawn from the Egerton (2004) study were used as a case study. The conventional mining method ranked as the most efficient mining method from the four methods considered. The exercise indicates potential for the AHP to be used in the South African platinum mining industry as a tool Ranking the efficiency of selected platinum mining

Could South African mine wastes provide a feasible storage method
Overall, South African diamond and platinum mine wastes could represent one of the largest untouched CO2 removal sources in the world. Getting up to speed The problem with the natural weathering process as a practical solution to climate change is that it is a slow one, taking hundreds of thousands of years to occur and the uptake amount isIn terms of total platinum production, the Russian Federation produces less than one fifth of South Africa’s production volumes.In the mid-term, an increase in volumes of production and treatment of platinum ores in Russia can be achieved by bringing into processing non-conventional platinum-bearing sources.

Extraction and Refining of the Platinum Metals
At this point the platinum-bearing gravity concentrates shipped from South Africa join those produced in the Johnson Matthey smelting plant, and together enter the wet process refinery. Here they are treated for complete elimination of base metals, and the platinum metals are brought into solution for their separation and individual refining.Platinum is widely considered as a critical mineral. According to the most optimistic scenario, the demand for platinum could increase 240-fold globally by 2050 due to the enormous demand potential for green hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles. By integrating network analysis and evaluation indicators, this study develops a framework to visualize Frontiers Mapping global platinum supply chain and

Platinum mining in South Africa. In South Africa, the discovery of the first platinum nuggets dates back to 1924. The geologist Hans Merensky’s follow-up work resulted in the discovery of two deposits, each around 100km in length, which became known as the Bushveld Igneous Complex. This discovery started with test work in the Platinum Mining in South Africa. In later years, underground mining and recovery of diamonds became the more common method of diamond extraction. By 2019, South Africa produced 7.2 million carats of diamonds.
