Catalytic Convertors

Recycle Catalytic Converters for Money

If your company possesses any kind of precious metal scrap, from catalytic converters to gold polishing, it can recycle catalytic converters containing platinum and materials containing other precious metals by selling it to a refining company. The amount of money paid for catalytic converters depends on the quantity traded, as well as the amount of metal which can be recovered using standard methods of refining. Your refiners should furnish you with any details you require, such as estimated processing time and any charges involved.

Recycle Catalytic Converters and other Platinum Materials

There are a great variety of platinum materials which can be recycled by refiners and turned into bullion – substances include platinum resins, thermocouple wire, catalysts, catalytic converters, concentrates, and a number of other alloys and other materials. In addition to these materials, a refining company which accepts other precious metals as well can recycle electronic scrap and a number of other types of waste which contain metal.

Gold Bullion

What is Gold Bullion?

Gold bullion is pure gold (such as gold bars) which is sold according to weight and purity rather than an arbitrary monetary value. When special commemorative gold coins are minted, they are often given a monetary value which is in fact far lower than their worth as bullion, making gold coins a worthy form of investment. In times of economic crisis in the past, many have invested in gold in order to make a stable investment which does not devalue as fast as money.

Selling Scrap to be Refined into Gold Bullion

If you possess gold in any form, whether you have old jewelry which you would never wear which is made of solid gold, or have gold polishing or other byproducts of an occupation in which gold in some form is used, you can sell these and other items to refiners who pay money for gold and other precious metals. Gold is a comparatively easy metal to refine, and thus a large percentage of gold contained in a lot will be payable.

Platinum Refining

Platinum and Refining of Scrap

Because of platinum’s high value as bullion, trading in platinum to a company specializing in platinum refining and the refining of other metals, in exchange for money, is a sensible idea. Platinum wire, catalysts, sheets and the metal in a variety of other forms are all useful to smelters, who pay according to the amount of metal contained, its quality, and the success at which a particular metal can be refined from an alloy or other compound substance.

Platinum Refining Charges

Because platinum requires treatments during the refining process, platinum refining involves additional charges which are not needed for gold and silver refining. Because of platinum’s high value, these charges are not cause for concern, especially if you have a large lot of platinum scrap to trade, which will help to negate the cost of refining. Other precious metals commonly accepted by precious metal refiners include silver, palladium and gold.

Gold Refining

Gold Refining

Gold refining is used to turn a diverse range of substances which contain gold into raw bullion which has a higher value per weight than alloys and other materials in which the presence of gold is minimal. Gold refining technology is highly successful, making gold one of the most worthwhile metals to trade with refiners, as the payable amounts are usually substantial in proportion to the amount of gold contained in a traded amount of scrap metal.


Sources of Metal Used in Gold Refining

Refiners obtain gold scrap from a wide variety of sources in their gold refining endeavors. Common sources of gold scrap include dental practices (where old bridges, gold teeth and other materials are commonly used), jewelers, fine gold items (such as candlesticks and other ornaments), and raw gold-containing substances such as gold ores. Refiners who perform gold refining as well as the refining of other metals can provide you with a useful resource for getting rid of precious metal scrap, with the advantage of receiving payment

Electronic Scrap

Electronic Scrap Refining

Electronic scrap refining is a complex process, yet refiners who have the skills and equipment needed for refining many different metal alloys and other materials containing precious metal into raw bullion can pay you for electronic scrap which is found in electronic appliances and other manufactured items. There is a surprising amount of precious metal which can be obtained from circuit boards and other electronic devices, and smelters and refiners pay good money for this scrap.

Get Paid for Electronic Scrap According to Market Standards

When you use an honest refining company, you can receive payment for electronic scrap according to market standards, derived from the London and New York stock exchange. Refiners may specify a minimum limit to the amount of scrap which may be included in a single lot, as refining a very small amount of scrap is neither profitable for refiners or for the trader. Your refiners should be able to give you an indication of when you can expect payment for your scrap.

Platinum Wire

Selling Platinum Wire

If your company works with platinum wire and has off-cuts, it can sell useless platinum scrap to refiners who specialize in refining this material, in addition to other precious metals. Platinum wire, mesh, sheets, and other forms of platinum, including catalysts and platinum molybdenum are all accepted by refiners, who have the equipment and skills necessary to both determine the quantity of platinum contained in a lot of scrap but refine scrap with maximum recovery of precious metal.

Sources of Platinum Wire

Platinum wire is used in a wide variety of applications, including the design and manufacturing of jewelry items. Different types of platinum wire which refiners seek include pure platinum thermocouple wire, platinum alloy wire and platinum/rhodium wire. When you sell platinum to refiners, you will be given an accurate estimate of the total time which processing will take, and consequently, the time which you can expect to wait until you are paid for your scrap.

Catalyst

Recycle Catalyst Materials for Money

Most businesses cannot avoid a degree of waste in everyday operation, yet if your company works with metals such as platinum, gold and silver, you may be able to recycle your waste and be paid for it in the process. It is easy to recycle catalyst metal such as platinum and other substances containing precious metals which are used in a variety of industries, and refiners pay according to weight of metal recovered, as well as purity.

Recycle Catalyst Platinum and be paid quickly

When you trade scrap to be refined, you may expect processing times to be lengthy and for it to be at least a month until you can receive money for the metal you have traded in, but a good refining company will actually be finished with processing within as little as 21 days, and if the platinum traded is pure platinum, payment will be far sooner. This means that you can enjoy getting rid of your scrap quickly, and receiving returns speedily as well.
