• Recycling and sustainability efforts are essential in the contemporary industrial environment, especially for important yet limited materials, such as platinum. These efforts focus on reclaiming and reusing valuable materials from used items, effectively decreasing the demand for new resource extraction, which can harm the environment and use a lot of energy. Efforts to recycle, particularly in industries such as automotive and electronics that heavily rely on platinum, not only conserve natural resources but also lessen waste and environmental harm. Furthermore, efforts towards sustainability aim to increase the usage of more effective, less wasteful manufacturing methods and foster the creation of sustainable goods and procedures. In December 2023, Lifezone Metals Limited revealed a collaboration with Glencore plc for a US-based project focused on recycling platinum, palladium, and rhodium, making use of their Hydromet technology. The venture included testing in Perth, Australia, aimed at extracting PGMs from car catalytic converters using ethical sourcing and advanced metallurgical methods. In December 2023, Johnson Matthey had effectively put in place a mass balance accounting method to provide 100% recycled platinum group metals (PGMs), which was approved by the Carbon Trust. This program allowed clients to purchase PGMs with a much lower carbon footprint, in line with sustainability objectives and industry guidelines set by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
• Platinum is highly valued in the high-end jewelry sector for numerous factors. Its scarcity gives it a sense of uniqueness, making it highly desired for those interested in purchasing high-end jewelry. The strength of the metal ensures that items, such as engagement rings and wedding bands, can endure everyday use for many years, maintaining their perfect condition and structural strength. Furthermore, the inherent white luster of platinum remains unaffected by time, retaining its shiny look without frequent polishing.
• Platinum plays a vital role in hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) as a catalyst within the fuel cells that generate power. In these cells, platinum aids in the decomposition of hydrogen gas at the positive electrode, separating it into protons and electrons. The electrons flow through a connected external pathway, energizing the motor of the vehicle. Additionally, platinum at the cathode assists in merging oxygen from the atmosphere with protons that have passed through the proton exchange membrane, resulting in water being created. The effective catalytic properties of platinum are essential for improving the performance and energy efficiency of FCEVs. In October 2023, Anglo-American collaborated with BMW Group South Africa and Sasol South Africa Limited. Under the collaboration agreements, BMW will provide the hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), Sasol will supply the green hydrogen and mobile refueler, and Anglo American will provide platinum group metals (PGMs) used in FCEVs.
• The biocompatibility of platinum ensures its suitability for medical implants like pacemakers and defibrillators, as well as surgical tools and equipment. Its inert nature prevents adverse reactions in human bodies, making it invaluable in critical healthcare applications where safety and reliability are paramount.

Product Description

Platinum is a precious metal that is dense, malleable, and unreactive, with a shiny silver-white color. It is obtained through mining and then goes through refining techniques, such as froth flotation and smelting to reach its pure state. It is available in several forms, including pure platinum and platinum alloys, which are used according to the specific requirements of its applications.

Platinum shows strong resistance to corrosion, even when exposed to high temperatures, and remains stable in harsh conditions. It serves as a great catalyst, quickening chemical reactions without being used up or changed in the process. It is a secure investment and a hedge against inflation or economic instability because of its rarity and high demand. It is commonly used in jewelry settings for diamonds and other precious stones because of its shiny look and strong resistance to tarnish.
