Platinum Group Metals (Pt · Rh · Ir · Ru)
Stripping and leaching chemistry for platinum, rhodium, iridium and ruthenium.
PGM recovery rewards selectivity — the value sits in milligrams per kilogram of carrier. PolyGO's PGM stack covers both stripping (PGMs recovered in solid form directly from solid waste) and leaching (dissolution into solution for downstream precipitation), formulated for the alumina, cordierite and zeolite supports used in spent petroleum and automotive catalysts.
Products in this family
- Stripping — Pt / Rh / Ir / Ru (solid-form recovery)
Advanced stripping agents that recover platinum, rhodium, iridium and ruthenium directly in solid form from base substrates — no precipitation needed.
- PGM Leaching for Catalyst Carriers
Dissolves PGMs from alumina, cordierite and zeolite carriers into solution for downstream precipitation recovery.
Why operators choose it
- Stripping route recovers PGMs in solid form
- Targeted extraction at low feed concentrations
- Performs across cordierite, alumina and zeolite carriers
- Built-in safety features in the recovery system design
- Feasibility-first — characterisation on a representative sample before any commitment
- Compatible with PolyGOResin™ Select Series for PGM capture
Frequently asked
Do you provide assay services?
No, but we work alongside your existing assay partner. We supply chemistry datasheets and reference recovery curves so your QC team can validate against their results.
Is the chemistry one-size-fits-all?
No. PGM chemistry is tuned per feedstock and per rig. We always run a feasibility study on a representative sample before recommending a formulation — we prove the chemistry works on your stream first.
