Om den här e-boken
Platinum Formation explores the fascinating journey of platinum, from its origins deep within the Earth's mantle to its concentration into valuable ore deposits. This book examines the geological processes responsible for transforming trace amounts of this precious metal into economically viable resources. Platinum's unique properties, such as its resistance to corrosion and its catalytic activity, make it essential for various industries, including automotive and electronics. The book investigates how magmatic activity transports platinum group elements (PGEs) from the mantle to the crust, where they accumulate in specific geological environments. It argues that the formation of significant platinum deposits requires a specific combination of geological factors, including an enriched mantle source, efficient transport mechanisms via magma, and favorable conditions for precipitation in the crust. By integrating recent advances in mantle dynamics with detailed analyses of crustal ore-forming processes, Platinum Formation provides a quantitative understanding of the factors controlling platinum concentration. Beginning with the basic properties of platinum, the book progresses through mantle dynamics, magma transport, and crustal deposition environments. It features geochemical analyses, isotopic studies, and case studies of major platinum deposits. The book concludes by considering the economic aspects of platinum mining, exploration strategies, and future resource management. This approach provides a comprehensive perspective on the geological origin of platinum.
