Computational modelling studies of PtAs2, PtAsS and Pd2As mineral surfaces

Nemutudi, Bradley (2020)

Sperrylite (PtAs2), platarsite (PtAsS) and palladoarsenide (Pd2As) are platinum group minerals (PGMs) predominantly found in the Platreef Bushveld Complex in South Africa, which is one of the leading countries with ...
First principle study of Ti-Al and Pt-Ti alloys

Mahlangu, Rosinah (2009)

The structural and energetic properties of the Ti-Al and Pt-Ti alloys have been carried out using first-principles total energy calculation of the density functional theory. We found a good correlation between VASP and ...
Ion imprinted polymer/metal-organic framework composites as efficient adsorbents for selective recognition and separation of selected platinum group metals from wastewater

Maponya, Thabiso Carol (2023)

Platinum group metal (PGMs) are the most extracted non-renewable mineral resources in South African due to their high demand for various applications. During mineral processing some of these valuable metals are lost into ...
