Precious Metal Refining in South Africa

At Palladium Recycling Pty Ltd, we provide professional precious metal refining solutions across South Africa and the SADC region.

As a registered precious metal refinery, we specialize in the recovery, recycling, processing and refining of valuable Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), including palladium, platinum and rhodium, as well as gold, silver and other precious metals.

Our integrated approach combines professional sampling, accurate analysis, advanced recovery technologies and controlled refining processes to help businesses recover maximum value from suitable precious metal-bearing materials.

What Is Precious Metal Refining?

Precious metal refining is the process of recovering, separating and processing valuable metals from suitable materials to produce refined precious metal products or compounds.

Depending on the material and its composition, refining can involve the recovery of metals such as:

• Palladium

• Platinum

• Rhodium

• Gold

• Silver

• Other valuable metals

The appropriate refining process depends on the characteristics and composition of the material being processed.

Professional Precious Metal Refining

Successful refining begins with understanding the material.

Our process can include:

Material Assessment → Sampling → Analysis → Recovery → Refining → Processing

This structured approach helps us evaluate suitable materials and determine appropriate recovery and refining solutions.

Accurate analysis is particularly important because secondary materials can contain different concentrations and combinations of precious metals.

PGM Refining

We specialize in the recovery and refining of valuable Platinum Group Metals.

Our PGM-related services focus on:

• Palladium recovery and refining

• Platinum recovery and refining

• Rhodium recovery and refining

• PGM-bearing material evaluation

• PGM recycling

PGMs can occur together in certain secondary materials, so comprehensive assessment can help identify the overall precious metal recovery potential.

Gold & Silver Refining

In addition to PGMs, we provide precious metal recycling and refining solutions for suitable gold- and silver-bearing materials.

Gold and silver may be present in jewellery waste, industrial materials and other secondary precious metal sources.

Professional sampling and analysis can help determine the metals present and support appropriate recovery and refining decisions.

Materials Suitable for Precious Metal Recovery

Depending on composition and suitability, precious metal-bearing materials may include:

• Spent catalytic converters

• Diesel particulate filters (DPFs)

• Jewellery waste

• Industrial materials

• Precious metal-bearing residues

• Other suitable secondary sources

Every material is different. Professional evaluation and analysis are therefore important before determining the appropriate recovery and refining process.

 

Sampling & Analysis Before Refining

Accurate sampling and analysis are important stages of the refining process.

Before processing suitable materials, evaluation can help identify the precious metals present and provide information needed to determine appropriate recovery and refining methods.

Our precious metal analysis services can support the evaluation of:

• Gold

• Silver

• Platinum

• Palladium

• Rhodium
