Precious Metal Recycling

The precious metals mainly refer to eight metal elements such as gold, silver and platinum group metals (ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium, osmium, platinum). Metals differ from other resources in that they remain with us forever in some form. Recycling metals following their use provides an important means to reduce the environmental burden resulting from mining primary ore, ensures the availability of a valuable secondary source of the metal, and conserves an irreplaceable resource that otherwise would be discarded. Palladium carbon is widely used as a catalyst for automobile exhaust gas treatment, and its price is expected to benefit from strong demand for new vehicles. Market for platinum is more stable in industrial market.
