Precious Metal Refining Services
Mid-States’ precious metal refining process incorporates key advancements that maximize returns by minimizing or eliminating the loss of valuable precious metals contained in your scrap and recycling materials.
What sets us apart:
Draft-free static roasting process – completely eliminates “draft induced stack losses” on materials that don’t benefit from traditional smelting or chemical leaching, ensuring that even the finest materials yield maximum precious metal returns with minimal mechanical losses.
Careful and criticaltemperature control - ensures the burning off or oxidation of Inorganic and non metallic components only during incineration or melting. Precious Metals contained in a burn or melt are never heated to temperatures that would result in a loss of Precious Metal.
Expert, highly skilled staff – starting with our Head Chemist who holds a master’s degree in chemical engineering and brings over 40 years of experience in the field, Mid-States’ exceptional staff ensures the process for refining your Precious Metals is the time-tested best, most accurate process, not merely the fastest or the easiest process.
