Precious metals recovery

Precious metals recovery involves extracting valuable metals like gold, silver, platinum, or palladium from raw materials such as ores, electronic waste, or scrap materials. The process typically includes crushing the material, then using chemical methods like leaching, where chemicals dissolve the metals, or physical separation techniques. These methods isolate the metals from other substances, allowing them to be purified and reused. Recovery processes are critical for recycling and sustainable resource management, ensuring that these valuable metals are reused efficiently instead of being discarded, thereby reducing environmental impact and conserving finite natural resources.
