− | Nowadays, | + | Nowadays, platinum is processed along a linear pathway. Platinum is acquired from mining, mostly in South Africa ([[Team:Pretoria_UP|Pretoria]]) Russia and Zimbabwe where it is found in relatively high concentrations: around 5ppm<ref>Bau and al., 2015 http://dx.doi.org.gate1.inist.fr/10.1016/j.hydromet.2015.01.002</ref>. These absolute concentrations are rather lower than most metals', so platinum in often a by-product of another mined resource such as nickel or coal. |
