Smelting Catalytic Converters, Platinum, Palladium, & Rhodium
Join Jason on an exciting metallurgical adventure as he dives into the challenging process of recovering valuable Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) from catalytic converters. In this video, Jason experiments with various smelting techniques to extract Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium, testing different collectors such as bismuth, iron pyrite, copper, and silver.
Watch as Jason works through each smelting experiment, sharing his insights and the challenges faced along the way. After several trials, he finally strikes success using a combination of iron pyrite and silver to collect the precious metals, refining them into a single metal alloy.
The journey doesn’t end here-Jason will send off the slag for assay to determine the exact percentage of metal recovery. The initial results look very promising, hinting at a breakthrough in his method!
Stay tuned for part two, where Jason will reveal the assay results and further refine his process. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more exciting content on precious metal recovery and innovative smelting techniques!

    MY Dad was interested and we spent time on the American River California south of where the original discovery was at Sutter's Mill. We panned and sluiced up river over several weekends and consistently found some very rough but very small gold, as we went further North we noticed that the gold stopped. There were steep canyon walls and they were covered with very thick brush. My Dad was a very tough guy and he determined that the gold was coming off that cliff side so he climbed up it with a great deal of difficulty, has scratches all over him. He found an oval outcrop that had smooth river rocks and took a bucket which he passed down to me on a rope. After we filled 6 buckets he climbed down and we took the buckets and ran them through the sluice box, we recovered nearly 2 oz -not troy oz but US oz and along with the other gold we had found sold it for 45$, that was 1958 so today the same would be about $4000. His job had us constantly on the move so we ]never went back but he always talked about it. He and Mpm passed the the late 1990's. I miss the terribly and always will.
