Real Life recycling case: Iridium recycling journey
Name of recovered metal: Iridium
Time and place: July 2023, Los Angeles, California
Recycling process:
In the summer of 2023, a Los Angeles-based high-tech company decided to phase out some of its outdated hardware. These devices, especially certain high-performance spark plugs, contain small amounts of iridium. The company realized the potential value of these waste equipment and contacted a professional recycling company for disposal. When the recovery team arrived at the site, they first carefully disassembled and sorted the equipment to ensure that the iridium metal was effectively separated. The pure iridium metal is then purified through a professional chemical treatment process.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/47567.html

After careful processing, about 2 kilograms of pure iridium were recovered from the devices. The market price of iridium at the time was about $560 per gram. As a result, the total value of the recovery reached about $1.12 million, which resulted in a windfall for the company.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/47567.html
