Recovery of Platinum

Platinum is recovered from a diverse array of sources, including aerospace components such as jet engine turbine blades, where its high-temperature resistance is critical. Additional sources include spent fuel cells and used catalysts, which contain significant amounts of platinum. Auris Noble's recovery process leverages cutting-edge technology to efficiently separate platinum from other materials, maximizing yield and purity.

Refining Process of Platinum

Once extracted, the platinum undergoes a rigorous refining process to enhance its purity and quality. This process includes melting, chemical treatment, and electrorefining, which strips away impurities and isolates the platinum. The end product is a high-purity platinum suitable for a variety of demanding applications.

Applications of Refined Platinum

Refined platinum is crucial for manufacturing new aerospace components due to its excellent resistance to heat and corrosion. In the automotive industry, it is used in the production of catalytic converters to reduce emissions. Platinum is also essential in the chemical industry as a catalyst for producing silicone and other important chemicals, and in the jewelry industry for crafting fine pieces.
