Where is this text copied from?
Electric arc smelting is actually plasma melting and have high capacity.
Usually on a thick slab of water cooled Copper.

I'm not in a position to make any assessment on the text that is given, there has to be more than this.
It is in may ways moot anyway.
The only assay method that is considered good for PGMs are Nickel Sulfide (NiS) assays.
A standard fire assay with cupelling are good for Gold and Silver, it will collect some of the PGMs, like Pd and Pt but as Lead is a poor collector for Rh it may leave some behind.

How it behaves in collecting and keeping Ir, I do not know, but it says Os and Ru evaporates for a large part.
But as Os has a melting point at 3000 C and Ru at 2300 C it seem odd that they evaporate unless the Oxygen and low vapor pressure play a role.
I thank you for the Nickel Sulfide test recommendation, and to be perfectly honest, that is what I had hoped you would recommend. It's honest. Ehat would you recommend as the best collector for rhodium and iridium? Individually if there are different collectors suggested?

For Ir I do not know, but for Rh the best is Gold but it is prohibitively expensive.
Copper is a good number two as far as I have been able to find.
