Umicore specializes in efficiently recovering precious metals from a wide range of intermediates generated by the precious metal and platinum group metals industry. These can come from a variety of sources, including primary or secondary metals processing or internal and side-stream circuits.
We also handle intermediates from manufacturing industries that use PGM metals in their processes, recovering valuable metals even when Cu, Pb, and Ni are present alongside impurities like Sn, Sb, Bi, Se, Te, and As.
No matter the form—whether it's dry metallic powder, flue dusts, ashes, lumps, sludge, metallic scraps, bullions, or solutions—our expertise in sampling and economies of scale ensure reliable procedures and sound metal recovery, even from complex materials.
