Metals
At Karaa Resources Limited, we specialize in the recovery and recycling of Platinum Group Metals (PGM).
We extract, refine, and deliver high-purity PGMs to meet the demanding needs of industries worldwide while supporting sustainable and responsible resource management.
What it is:
PGM metals, or Platinum Group Metals, include platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, and osmium. These are rare, highly valuable metals known for their exceptional durability, resistance to corrosion, and catalytic properties.
Our Process
The recovery and refining of PGM metals involve a multi-stage, precision-controlled process that ensures high recovery rates and exceptional purity levels.
We begin with a detailed material analysis to understand the composition of the feedstock, whether sourced from mining ores, industrial scrap, or recycled materials. The initial stage often involves pyrometallurgical treatment, where materials are smelted to concentrate PGMs and separate them from impurities.
The next step is hydrometallurgical refining, which uses advanced chemical leaching and precipitation techniques to isolate each metal. Through rigorous separation and purification steps, we ensure that each metal achieves the purity required for its specific industrial application.
We assure quality throughout the process, with strict testing protocols at each stage to guarantee consistency and compliance with industry standards. This end-to-end control allows us to deliver reliable, high-quality PGM while maintaining an environmentally responsible approach, reducing waste and conserving resources wherever possible.
