About Platinum. Platinum stands out as one of the rarest elements in Earth's crust, with human utilization dating back to the seventh century B.C. The first documented report of the metal emerged in 1557, and industrial applications began in the 1880s. Notably, Platinum production experienced significant growth after the 1920s, marked by the discovery of the largest known deposits.
The exceptional rarity of Platinum, coupled with its crucial applications, positions it as a highly valued precious metal commodity. Its remarkable chemical inertness renders it indispensable in the chemical industry, while its scarcity enhances its allure in the realm of jewelry. Despite its pivotal role, global Platinum production remains limited, totaling only a few hundred tons annually, with South Africa contributing approximately 70% of this output.
Platinum Handling. Platinum is an extremely valuable material, so its transportation is usually done using highly safe trucks with trained personal. Since it is one of the most unreactive elements in existence, no other special measures must be taken to preserve Platinum in its normal form. Platinum must be accompanied by a certification of assay and must be delivered to the depository by an exchange-approved carrier in order to maintain the chain of integrity.
Platinum Production. Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Platinum are listed below.
- Copper/nickel anodic slimes/mud (sulfating roast process/hydrometallurgical refining; Platinum is recovered as a by-product)
Platinum Uses. The uses and applications of Platinum may vary according to its specification. Usually, Platinum is traded in the form of ingots/bars, with a 99.95-99.98% purity. Otherwise, for specific purposes, Platinum can be commercialized in other grades, such as spectroscopically pure (99.999%), physically pure (99.99%), chemically pure (CP, 99.9%), and technically pure (99%).
