Precious Metals

3R Soluciones is the exclusive representative for Spain of the English firm MASTERMELT Ltd., which is a company specialising in the recovery of precious metals from different industrial sources such as spent catalysts, precious metal plating baths or components from the scrapping of aeronautical equipment, among others.

By means of this representation agreement, one of our aims (the promotion of up-cycling as the main activity in waste management) becomes a reality: from products that have lost their usability features for a given process, materials with a greater financial and environmental value are obtained, even in relation to the original product itself.

Within the industrial field, MASTERMELT manages and recovers precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium, iridium, rhodium, and ruthenium) from waste proceeding from different sectors, such as those indicated below:

• Chemical and Pharmaceutical
• Aeronautical and aerospace
• Medical
• Electronics
• Surface treatment (electroplating)
• Special glasses

In addition to the recovery services for precious metals contained in the waste sent to their facilities in England, MASTERMELT provides their customers with all their 25 years’ experience in the sector to help you detect opportunities for capturing alternative sources of precious metals that may go unnoticed by the company, such as condensations of volatile compounds in suction/ventilation pipes, incrustations in equipment replaced due to maintenance or renewal, and site clearance debris among others.

By constantly applying the most efficient technologies in this field, and being as open as possible throughout the entire process of managing recovery operations, MASTERMELT offers its customers the guarantee that the products processed in their facilities will enjoy the assurance of the best recovery possible, thus maximizing the financial return on the operation.
