Recovery and Refining
What is "Recovery and Refining"?
This is an integrated precious metal recycling system that manages everything from the collection of precious metal-containing scrap to refining and remanufacturing. High-purity precious metals such as gold, platinum, and palladium are recovered from solid and liquid waste materials through advanced pre-treatment, precise analysis, and both hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical refining technologies. LBMA and LPPM certification ensures globally reliable quality standards and high recovery yield, while contributing to environmental impact reduction through the effective reuse of urban mine resources.
Based on “Reliability,” “Confidence,” and “Technology,” we offer an optimal one-stop recycling system for precious metals, covering the collection of precious metal–bearing scrap, recovery and refining, and remanufacturing.
TANAKA efficiently recycles precious metals—rare and valuable resources—to contribute to the development of a sustainable society.
