RECYCLED IRIDIUM (Ir)
High purity recycled iridium used in advanced catalysts, electronics and high-temperature industrial systems. Recovered iridium supports circular material supply while maintaining the durability and chemical stability required in modern technologies.
All recovered material is processed and refined in Europe under controlled industrial conditions.
IRIDIUM IN HIGH-PERFORMANCE APPLICATIONS
Iridium is one of the rarest and most durable platinum group metals used in advanced industrial technologies. The metal is known for its exceptional resistance to heat, corrosion and chemical attack.
Because of these characteristics, iridium is widely used in extreme environments where other materials would degrade. Typical uses include high-temperature equipment, chemical catalysts and specialized electronic components.
Recovering iridium from industrial materials allows valuable metal resources to be returned to advanced manufacturing supply chains while maintaining the performance required for demanding applications.
SOURCES OF IRIDIUM RECOVERY
Iridium is typically recovered from industrial systems where platinum group metals are used for catalytic or high-temperature applications.
Typical recovery sources include:
โข chemical processing catalysts
โข industrial crucibles and high-temperature equipment
โข electronic and semiconductor components
โข spark plugs and specialized ignition systems
โข platinum group metal refining residues
Recovering iridium from these materials helps maintain the supply of rare platinum group metals used in advanced technologies.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF IRIDIUM
