dc.description.abstractAmmonium hexachlororuthenate (ACR) is a salt precipitated during a substitution reaction between ammonium and ruthenate dissolved in a strong hydrochloric acid medium. This precipitation reaction is used within the platinum industry as a means of recovering and purifying ruthenium. Application of this process at the Precious Metals Refinery of Anglo Platinum has brought to light certain inefficiencies. In recent years, volatility in the Ru market price occurred, indicating a potential to benefit financially from an improved Ru recovery. Consequently, this study was conducted to understand the effect of certain parameters on the process of precipitating ammonium hexachlororuthenate.en_ZA
