ProClaim Precious Metal Recovery System

Product Overview:

Reclaim Precious Metals from Plating and Electro Polishing Solutions from Process Solutions

The ProClaim Precious Metal Recovery System is an advanced electrolytic unit designed to recover precious and non-precious metals from process solutions. It efficiently converts dissolved metal waste such as plating and electropolishing solutions into metal powder. Closed-loop system provides a reliable method for businesses to transform waste liabilities into valuable assets, ensuring a rapid return on investment through direct metal reclamation and reduced disposal costs. Recovery of 99.99% from metals dissolved in liquid including Silver, Gold, Rhodium and others.

Key Benefits:

Operational and Economic Advantages

The ProClaim System delivers measurable improvements in profitability, safety, and compliance.

– Direct Revenue Generation: Converts waste streams containing silver, gold, rhodium, and other metals into a source of high-purity, saleable material.
– Reduced Disposal Costs: Lowers the metal concentration in waste solutions, significantly reducing hazardous waste volume and associated disposal fees.
– Enhanced Operational Safety: The sealed chamber design minimizes operator exposure to chemicals and fumes, providing a safer working environment.
– Process Efficiency: The non-mechanical flow system and remote monitoring capabilities allow for consistent, high-purity recovery with minimal manual intervention.
– Regulatory Compliance: Assists in meeting environmental discharge limits by systematically removing dissolved metals from effluent streams.

Case Study:

Test # 2025-68

This report details a recovery test performed on a 5-liter sample of a customer’s depleted rhodium plating solution using the ProClaim electrolytic recovery system.
The system was operated for a total of 36 hours in Constant Voltage (CV) mode, during which a minimal, thin deposit was observed on the cathode.
The test successfully recovered 1.5 grams of rhodium, at a market price of $250.35 per gram, the recovered metal has a high ROI value of approximately 12,000 THB within 36 hours. The results confirm the system’s function in reclaiming rhodium from solution.
