Almost nothing works without precious metals. Therefore, they can be found in a wide variety of industries. RECOM meets the technical requirements of precious metal recycling in the treatment of a wide variety of residue compositions to cover a range of industrial sectors that use precious metals.
Electrical engineering and electronics
In electrical engineering, precious metals can be found, for example, in integrated circuits, processors, semiconductors, printed circuit boards or connectors. But precious metals are also used in optoelectronics, e.g., in reflectors.
Chemistry and Petrochemistry
In chemistry and petrochemistry, precious metals are mainly used in catalysts and solutions. However, wastes such as sludges and dross also contain precious metals.
Pharmacy and medical technology
In the pharmaceutical industry, precious metals are mainly used in catalysts. In addition, precious metals are used in sensors, electrodes or medical equipment.
Glass production
In glass production, precious metals are found particularly in semi-finished products and firebricks, and also in coated glass.
Automotive industry
In the automotive industry, automotive catalytic converters along with electronic components constitute the "classic" recycling case in terms of precious metals.
Special areas
In specialty areas, precious metals are found, for example, on sputtering targets, in fuel cells or solar cells. Precious metals are also popular materials in medical technology.
