Palladium Refining
We process palladium-bearing material with controlled metal separation, precise accounting, and settlement aligned with recoverable Pd content
Materials We Process
Our palladium refining service is built for complex Pd-bearing feedstocks where composition can vary significantly from lot to lot. We process catalytic substrates, jewelry alloys, industrial offcuts, sputtering targets, electronic residues, laboratory material, manufacturing scrap, and mixed platinum-group-metal streams.
​
Before treatment, each lot is reviewed by feed type, expected Pd concentration, matrix composition, and contamination profile. This helps determine whether the material is better suited for melting, homogenization, chemical separation, or another controlled processing route.
Why Clients Choose Us?
Effective palladium recovery depends on more than gross weight. Palladium may be present alongside platinum, rhodium, gold, silver, nickel, copper, or other base metals that influence assay interpretation and payable-metal calculations. Representative preparation helps establish a reliable basis for processing heterogeneous material.
Palladium Recovery Process
Representative Lot Sampling: Creates a dependable assay basis from mixed or irregular feed.
PGM Matrix Characterization: Identifies coexisting metals that can affect separation and valuation.
Melt Homogenization Control: Produces a uniform composition before analytical testing begins.
Payable Metal Reconciliation: Matches final settlement with verified recoverable palladium content.
​
Palladium Recycling for Secondary Material
At American Asset Buyers, we process recurring commercial scrap streams, obsolete components, fabrication remnants, spent industrial materials, and other Pd-bearing inventory through specialized palladium recycling.
​
Each incoming lot is tracked separately to preserve the chain of custody, material identity, and settlement accuracy. This structured approach supports jewelers, recyclers, manufacturers, industrial suppliers, and precious-metal traders managing multiple feed sources, recurring material volumes, or scheduled recovery cycles.
