Refine Platinum from Laboratory Electrode Wire and Mesh
I have laboratory electrode wire and mesh to recycle. Most of it should be 97% platinum and 3% rhodium. Mesh may be 100% platinum. I have about 38 grams combined. What is the value of these items? From Ken in Omaha, Nebraska
Hi Ken,
We can refine the platinum from the electrode wire and mesh that you have described. We will analyze the material with our testing equipment and can typically return 70% of the fine platinum value back to you based on the that days market price of platinum.
Indicate on your packing slip if you would like us to call you after we have evaluated the platinum. These items are perfect for refining because they are so platinum rich. Other laboratory items that may contain precious metals that we can refine include the following:
- Evaporation Dishes
- Vacuum Bags
- Air Filters
- Polishing Residue
- Casting Sprues and Buttons
- Gauzes
- Electrodes
- Crucibles
Let us know if you have any of these items you would like recycled. You can also visit our website and learn more about our platinum refining.
