Does anyone have platinum yield from hard drive platters? Thanks
If you removed the platters before they were completely dissolved, the chance that there is value in solution is not good. You can make that determination by testing with stannous chloride. If you are not familiar with that test, you shouldn't be attempting to refine. It is much the same as driving a car without vision. Read about it in Hoke's book.lmschers said:I put about 40 platters from different manufacturers into some AR.
They corroded and I got an emerald green solution.
I took out the platters before they completely dissolved because the platinum on them is just a fine spray.
I still have the solution and need to test it.
If I had a platinum electrode, I would try to electrolyze the solution.
