REFINING OF PRECIOUS METALS
The purpose of precious metal refining is to extract and purify gold, silver, platinum, and other valuable metals from various sources such as industrial by-products, electronic waste, jewelry, and other metal alloys.
During the process, impurities are removed, and the final product is refined to a purity level suitable for industrial, jewelry, and financial applications.
THE REFINING PROCESS
- Analysis and Pre-treatment of Input Materials
- Laboratory examination of customer-supplied materials.
- Determination of composition and precious metal content using modern analytical methods (XRF, ICP-OES, gravimetric analysis).
- Mechanical and chemical pre-treatment for more efficient processing (crushing, melting, solvent pre-treatment).
- Refining Technologies
- Pyrometallurgical processes: melting at high temperatures and separation by oxidation.
- Hydrometallurgical processes: acid and alkaline leaching, electrolysis, chemical precipitation.
- Electrorefining: selection of pure metal via electrochemical methods.
- Ion-exchange and filtration methods: combination of chemical and mechanical techniques to achieve the highest purity.
- Purity Control and Quality Assurance
- Verification of refined metal purity through multiple analyses.
- Certification of compliance with international standards (e.g., LBMA, ASTM, ISO).
- Provision of certificates and reports to customers.
- Final Product Preparation and Delivery
- Casting into standard bars, granules, or custom shapes according to customer requirements.
- Packaging and secure transportation.
- Optional reprocessing or other customized services.
