The state of platinum in pyrrhotite: X-ray absorption spectroscopy study and implications for the role of Fe sulfides as platinum carriers

Abstract: Pyrrhotite Fe 1-x S is the main sulphide component of platinum group elements (PGEs) ores where it commonly contains from a few tenths to a few dozen ppm of disseminated Pt. Here we report an investigation of the state of Pt in synthetic pyrrhotite performed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in combination with theoretical spectra modelling. The pyrrhotite crystals were obtained by means of salt flux technique, using an eutectic mixture of alkali metal halides as a transport media. Analysis of the chemica… Show more

“…It can be seen in Figure 3a and Table A1 that the XANES spectrum of the K 2 Pt II Cl 4 solid has a white-line energy 0.6 eV lower than Pt II S, which is also in agreement with previous studies [16,28,29]. The Pt IV hexa-coordinated compounds (K 2 Pt IV Cl 6 and Pt IV O 2 ) have distinctly higher white-line amplitudes (by a factor of 2 to 3) and energy positions of white-line maximum (by 1 to 2 eV) than their Pt II square-planar counterparts (K 2 Pt II Cl 4 , Pt II S), in good agreement with the general tendencies for metal coordination and oxidation state observed in XANES spectra in previous studies, e.g., [81].…”

“…Our results show that Pt L III -edge XANES spectra acquired in HERFD mode (HR) show a significant gain both in the energy-position resolution and the shape and amplitude of white-line and post-absorption features, compared to conventional transmission (TR) or fluorescence (NR) modes, as has been already recognized in previous studies [39][40][41]44]. Therefore, the Pt II and Pt IV formal redox state and atomic coordination may be more clearly distinguished in Pt chloride-and sulfide-bearing systems in HR-XANES mode than in some previous works that used conventional acquisition modes [16,28,29,95]. This resolution improvement may add, in particular, more precision to the characterization of Pt-S and Pt-Cl complexes in hydrothermal fluids where a mixture of Pt IV and Pt II of different coordination may be expected, e.g., [18,96], as well as in natural mineral phases where Pt can be present in different coordination and oxidation states (e.g., Pt II and Pt IV in pyrite and pyrrhotite; [28,29]).…”
