Recovering Precious Metals from Production
Keywords: Reclaim, Precious Metals, Hazardous Waste Precious Metals
This presentation will outline the best practices and techniques to ensure exceptional precious metal recovery combined with satisfactory environmental compliance. Learn how simply changes in housekeeping can improve precious metal recovery levels while simultaneously improving safety and environmental aptitudes in house. Learn the importance of internal controls and the value of comparing historical trends to track and improve recoveries. We will also outline the dramatic effects to your gross product margin caused when precious metal recoveries are not properly accounted for and how to reverse those effects. This presentation will also show how the refinery handles different waste streams and how materials are brought to an homogenous state to achieve samples for accurate settlements.
