precious metals refining

Precious metals refining is the process of extracting pure metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium from ores or scrap materials. This involves crushing and chemically treating raw materials to separate the valuable metals from impurities. Once extracted, the metals are purified through various methods, such as electrolysis or chemical processes, resulting in high-quality materials suitable for use in jewelry, electronics, and investment. Refining is crucial for recycling precious metals, reducing waste, and ensuring a sustainable supply for various industries.
