Platinum Refining

Sources of Metal for Platinum Refining

There are various types of scrap Platinum which refiners accept in exchange for cash or bullion, including unwanted platinum jewelry. Platinum wire, concentrates, resins, catalysts and more are accepted by refiners who are able to recover precious metals from fine items as well as raw amalgams, metal salts and more. Refiners who price their metals using New York and London markets can offer you a good price on your metal scrap, whether it is Platinum, Paladium or Gold.


Platinum Refining Costs

When you have platinum or another metal refined, there will naturally be fees for processing and assay fees as well. Your refiners will need to determine the amount of a specific metal within the scrap you trade in, and this takes time and uses equipment which needs to be kept in good running order. A metal such as platinum is also likely to incur a treatment cost as the recovery process requires the use of treatments for refining purposes. This cost is virtually negligible, however.
