The glove box is normally dressed with a needle-felt cloth and filter papers that are replaced after every single filtration process of a batch at a high cost.
Abstract Platinum group metals (PGMs) are considered critical raw materials, thus their recycling and re-use is of outmost importance. Among the PGMs, platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) and rhodium (Rh) are the basic metals used in catalytic converters. Concerning the stringent EU standards for emission control imposed to car …

The third step is the extraction process. This is done by crushing the ore into minuscule pieces, once this is done the next process the platinum must proceed through is the flotation separation process, which relies on air particles to push the Platinum particles to the top. They are then skimmed off for refining.
