Process Modelling at NPL
Johnson Matthey, working with NPL, have developed
a general model using MTDATA for studying and predicting the
distribution of elements in the high temperature processing of precious
metals. The use of MTDATA provides a rigorous and reliable way to
determine the partitioning of elements between phases. Now with the
addition of process specific modelling this becomes an even move
powerful tool.
For a number of years scientists at Johnson
Matthey Technology Centre, in collaboration with Anglo American
Platinum, have used MTDATA and thermodynamic databases from the
National Physical Laboratory in order to gain a more fundamental
understanding of key production processes. However recently it has
become possible to use MTDATA, in this new and exciting way.
