Platinum is used in catalytic converters, laboratory equipment, electrical contacts and electrodes, platinum resistance thermometers, dentistry equipment, and jewelry. Platinum is used in the glass industry[7] to manipulate molten glass which does not "wet" platinum. As a heavy metal, it leads to ...

Introduction The platinum group metals (PGMs), which include platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium, and iridium, have held a long-standing allure ...
It’s such an important metal for treating exhaust that most of the world’s production of platinum ends up in catalytic converters, which convert toxic gas (carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons) into less harmful byproducts (carbon dioxide and water). What that means is the catalytic conv...
industrial catalysts, and e-waste is economically important, reduces the environmental burden of metal mining, and can limit environmental pollution6. Spent catalytic converters contain PGMs at levels up to 2‒10 g/kg, which is significantly higher than those in primary ores (~0....
and yes it is in a huge bubble, Merril Lynch have to get those 35% profits from somewhere It is worth a lot more than Platinum though because it is rare, I thought that Rhodium was an essential element in the process of refining Platinum, and it is also essential for catalytic converte...
