A residue containing TiO 2 and PGMs is generated in the hydrometallurgical process used for recycling platinum-group metals (PGMs). In this study, a pyrometallurgical process was considered in which PGMs from the residue generated in the hydrometallurgical process were concentrated in a molten copper phase as a collector metal and TiO 2 was separated into the SiO 2 -CaO-TiO 2 slag phase with SiO 2 and CaO flux. The dissolution of PGMs must be reduced to minimize the loss of PGMs to the slag. Therefore, the distribution ratios of Pt as representative PGMs between the liquid SiO 2 -CaO-Al 2 O 3 -TiO 2 or liquid SiO 2 -CaO-TiO 2 slag and molten copper were measured at 1773 K under an oxygen partial pressure of p O2 ¼ 10 À10 . The experimental results showed that the distribution ratio of Pt increased with TiO 2 concentration in the slag, and the distribution ratio of Pt reached a maximum value at a TiO 2 concentration of approximately 10 mass%, and decreased with a further increase in TiO 2 concentration with the SiO 2 -CaO-Al 2 O 3 -TiO 2 slag. However, as TiO 2 concentration in the slag increased, the distribution ratio of Pt decreased with the SiO 2 -CaO-TiO 2 slag. Additionally, the experimental results showed that the distribution ratio of Pt between the SiO 2 -CaO-Al 2 O 3 -TiO 2 slag and liquid copper increased with the slag basicity B, defined as B = (mass%CaO)/(mass%SiO 2 ) when the TiO 2 concentration in the slag was greater than 10 mass%.
