Iridium, a rare and precious metal on Earth, has long been a hot target for scientists and industry.
Iridium distribution on Earth
Iridium is one of the rarest elements on Earth, mainly distributed in the outer core of the Earth, and the amount in the crust is very low. Iridium is found mainly in South Africa, Russia, and parts of North America. Iridium in these areas is usually present in ores along with other platinum group metals. Because of its scarcity, the process of mining and refining iridium is expensive and complex.

Search for iridium
The search for iridium mainly relies on geological exploration and satellite remote sensing technology. Geologists determine the location of possible iridium deposits by analyzing rock samples and geological structures. In addition, advanced remote sensing technology can also help scientists identify areas containing iridium from the air, improving the efficiency of the search for iridium.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/47483.html

Recovery case
In 2022, a Canadian-based recycling company successfully recovered a shipment of industrial waste containing iridium. The waste mainly consists of discarded catalysts and some electronic equipment. Through sophisticated chemical treatment and electrochemical purification, the company extracted 2 kilograms of pure iridium from about 1,000 kilograms of waste. The recovery process took three months, and the recovered iridium was sold for $550 per gram, bringing the total value to $1.1 million.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/47483.html
