Platinum
Platinum is a chemical element with the symbol Pt and atomic number 78. It is a dense, malleable, ductile, highly unreactive, precious, silverish-white transition metal. Its name originates from Spanish , a diminutive of "silver". Platinum is a member of the platinum group of elements and group 10 of the periodic table of elements. It has six naturally occurring isotopes. It is one of the rarer elements in Earth's crust, with an average abundance of approximately 5 μg/kg. It occurs in some nickel and copper ores along with some native deposits, mostly in South Africa, which accounts for ~80% of the world production. Because of its scarcity in Earth's crust, only a few hundred tonnes are produced annually, and given its important uses, it is highly valuable and is a major precious metal commodity. Platinum is one of the least reactive metals. It has remarkable resistance to corrosion, even at high temperatures, and is therefore considered a noble metal. Consequent ...

Literature * In Isaac Asimov's Galactic Empire as depicted in his ''Foundation'' series, the monetary unit of the Galactic Empire, the ''galactic credit'', is solidly backed because it is convertible to pure platinum—the Galactic Empire is on the platinum standard.

MV Discovery
MV ''Discovery'' (formerly ''Island Venture'', ''Island Princess'', ''Hyundai Pungak'' and ''Platinum'') was a cruise ship, which was formerly operated by Voyages of Discovery and was last in service for Cruise & Maritime Voyages. History The ship began operation in 1972 with Flagship Cruises, under the name ''Island Venture''. In 1974, she was sold to P&O's Princess Cruises along with sister ship ''Sea Venture''. The pair were renamed ''Island Princess'' and ''Pacific Princess'', the latter, laid up since 2008 at the San Giorgio del Porto shipyard in Genoa, Italy, and as of early 2013 apparently destined for scrapping at Aliaga, Turkey. Both appeared in the 1970s television sitcom ''The Love Boat'', although the ''Pacific Princess'' was the main feature of the show.

Dubai (yacht)
''Dubai'' is the name of a yacht owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai, Vice President of the United Arab Emirates. History ''Dubai'' was commissioned in 1995 under various project names (''Panhandle'', ''Platinum'', ''Golden Star'') and was built in cooperation with the German shipyards Blohm+Voss and Lürssen. The yacht was initially built for Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei before 1996, but the client stopped the purchase contract the next year. In 2001, she went to the current owner, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The yacht was designed by Andrew Winch, with interior design by Platinum Yachts, she approximately cost $400 million. The ship including the floating dock was transported by the via Turkey to Dubai. The Dubai-based Platinum Yachts FZCO shipyard continued to build the yacht under the former project name ''Platinum'' and handed her over to the owner in 2006. The yacht is kept in front of the northern of the two artificial islands, the pri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Platinum Group
The platinum-group metals (abbreviated as the PGMs; alternatively, the platinoids, platinides, platidises, platinum group, platinum metals, platinum family or platinum-group elements (PGEs)) are six noble, precious metallic elements clustered together in the periodic table. These elements are all transition metals in the d-block (groups 8, 9, and 10, periods 5 and 6). The six platinum-group metals are ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum. They have similar physical and chemical properties, and tend to occur together in the same mineral deposits. However, they can be further subdivided into the iridium-group platinum-group elements (IPGEs: Os, Ir, Ru) and the palladium-group platinum-group elements (PPGEs: Rh, Pt, Pd) based on their behaviour in geological systems. The three elements above the platinum group in the periodic table (iron, nickel and cobalt) are all ferromagnetic; these, including the lanthanide element gadolinium, are the only known tr ...

Isotopes Of Platinum
Naturally occurring platinum (78Pt) consists of five stable isotopes (192Pt, 194Pt, 195Pt, 196Pt, 198Pt) and one very long-lived (half-life 6.50×1011 years) radioisotope (190Pt). There are also 34 known synthetic radioisotopes, the longest-lived of which is 193Pt with a half-life of 50 years. All other isotopes have half-lives under a year, most under a day. All isotopes of platinium are either radioactive or observationally stable, meaning that they are predicted to be radioactive but no actual decay has been observed.
