Refining Of Precious Metals
By refining, purification means an industrial process through which a precious metal is purified to the required degree of purity.
Gold refining
The most used method for Gold refining is based on ‘Aqua Regia’ but alternative methods, some of them more eco friendly can be proposed by CLM, including electrochemical methods. If necessary ‘turn key’ plants can be offered.
Gold purities achievable are those industrially requested: pure 995; high purity 99.99%. Whatever is the chosen refining method the total control of emissions and waste, according with the local laws, is assured.
CLM Consulting is also able to carry out technical training for plant personnel.
Silver Refining
Impure Silver, usually obtained from solutions and/or solid scrapes, is refined to the final high purity by electrochemical methods.
The Silver electrorefing process based on Moebius Cells is probably the most used system for silver refining.
CLM Consulting can offers any industrial system for Silver refining and technical assistance for all chemical processes involved. If requested ‘turn key’ plants can be offered.
Whatever is the chosen refining method the total control of emissions and waste, according with the local laws, is assured.
CLM Consulting always dedicate much attention to the Corporate Social Responsibility.

PGM Refining
PGM (Platinum Group Metals) are transition metals with many oxidation states and great tendency to form metal complexes with many ligands.
All this make the solution chemistry for their separation/purification quite challenging. Especially Palladium (Pd), Platinum (Pt) and Rhodium (Rh) are the three PGM on which CLM Consulting put its attention.
Plants and/or know-how for recovering and refining PGM can be offered, including turnkey plants. Depending on the customer’s request the chemistry employed can span from traditional coordination chemistry to chromatography employing selective ionic exchange columns.
Whatever is the chosen refining method the total control of emissions and waste, according with the local laws, is assured. CLM Consulting always dedicate much attention to the Corporate Social Responsibility.
