Professional Platinum Recovery

Our platinum recovery services are designed to identify and recover valuable platinum from suitable recyclable and secondary materials.

We use a structured process that can include professional sampling, accurate analysis, advanced recovery technologies and controlled refining processes. This approach helps us evaluate materials carefully and determine appropriate recovery and refining solutions.

 

Platinum-Bearing Materials

Platinum may be present in a variety of secondary and industrial materials. Depending on the material and its composition, suitable sources may include:

  • Spent catalytic converters

  • Diesel particulate filters (DPFs)

  • Jewellery waste

  • Industrial materials

  • Precious metal-bearing residues

  • Other suitable secondary materials containing platinum

Because the composition of each material can vary, professional sampling and analysis are important for determining its precious metal content.

 

Platinum Sampling & Analysis

Accurate sampling and analysis are essential when evaluating platinum-bearing materials.

Our professional analysis process helps identify valuable platinum and other precious metals that may be present. Reliable evaluation supports better decisions regarding material recovery, processing and refining.

Where appropriate, advanced analytical technology can assist in assessing precious metal-bearing materials before further processing.

 
Platinum Refining

After material assessment and recovery, platinum-bearing materials can undergo controlled refining processes designed to separate and recover valuable precious metals.

Our approach focuses on responsible processing, efficient recovery and maximizing the value contained within suitable secondary materials.

Platinum can occur together with other PGMs, particularly palladium and rhodium. Our broader PGM recovery capabilities allow suitable materials to be evaluated for multiple valuable metals.

 
Platinum & PGM Recovery

Platinum belongs to the Platinum Group Metals, which include:

  • Platinum

  • Palladium

  • Rhodium

  • Other PGMs

A single secondary material may contain more than one valuable PGM. For this reason, comprehensive material assessment and analysis can be important when determining the potential value of recyclable materials.

At Palladium Recycling Pty Ltd, our PGM recovery services are designed to help businesses identify and recover valuable metals from suitable secondary sources.

Responsible Platinum Recycling

Platinum is a valuable and finite natural resource. Recycling helps recover platinum from secondary materials and return it to productive use.

Our focus is on responsible, efficient and sustainable precious metal recycling. Through appropriate recovery and refining processes, we help businesses reduce the loss of valuable resources and support a more circular approach to precious metal use.
