The international precious metals market, like other financial markets, after rapid growth in early 2018, went into a slow correction before the March meeting of the FRS. The cost of precious metals consolidated near the support levels: gold - $ 1310, silver - $ 16.20, platinum - $ 940 and palladium - $ 960. At the same time, maintaining the levels of support was facilitated by the fact that geopolitical risks persisted. The Gold of Russia conference was held in Moscow

Shchelkovo secondary precious metals plant was founded more than 70 years ago. Today the plant is a large specialized refinery for processing raw materials containing precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, palladium. The enterprise has accumulated extensive experience in the field of obtaining silver-containing composite powders industrial use, gold and silver in ingots and granules, silver salts. The work of the company is based on many years of experience and an impeccable reputation in the market. The central laboratory of the plant has a fleet of modern analytical equipment and sample preparation, uses spectral, physical and traditional classical methods of analysis in its work. Special place in the production cycle of the plant is occupied by products based on silver-containing powders and salts. In recent years, the demand for battery subtractive powder and flowable subtractive powder has increased significantly, providing finished goods higher and more stable characteristics. The products of JSC "Shchelkovo secondary precious metals plant" are widely used in the production of: electrical contacts, current sources, catalysts, medicines, etc. The plant's products are certified by the International Association of Precious Metals Producers. The Association awarded the certificate "Good Delivery."

Contaminants are called refining. This process is used to obtain pure precious metals of various samples for the jewelry industry, the production of bank ingots, and government stocks. Refineries are enterprises with necessary equipment and technologies specializing in the processing of industrial semi-finished products, concentrates and alloys in order to extract high-purity precious metals.

Refining of primary raw materials

Refining is carried out in several chemical ways, depending on the type precious metal. Electrolysis, cupellation, reactions of chemical solutions and acids are used. The content of silver in the material obtained after refining reaches 99.9%, gold - 99.65%. Raw materials are supplied to refineries from sludge dressing factories, mining and metallurgical and mining and processing plants, and recycling plants. The choice of a refinery by a supplier is purely subjective and mainly depends on the cost of refining, which is not the same for all similar industries. The location of the enterprise in this case does not matter.

Recognized refining companies in Russia

The recognized producers of high-purity gold are those refineries in Russia, which are included in the list of companies of the London Precious Metals Market Association (LBMA). Recognized enterprises that have the right to produce high-purity precious metals:

• Krasnoyarsk non-ferrous metals plant (refinery JSC "Krastsvetmet"). The enterprise was built in the early 40s of the twentieth century for the processing of copper and nickel ores from the Norilsk deposit and the refining of platinum metals. Today it is the only enterprise in the Russian Federation that produces all types of precious metals. The raw material base of Krastsvetmet is 70% of concentrates from the Norilsk plant. The plant's products are certified and meet international standards... The company is listed on the list of precious metals producers on the New York, Tokyo and London stock exchanges.
• One of the oldest enterprises in Russia is the Yekaterinburg Non-Ferrous Metals Processing Plant. The plant was built in 1916 for the refining of platinum. Today the plant processes placer gold, alloys and secondary precious metals. The enterprise produces both technical and jewelry made of pure precious metals. Like the Krasnoyarsk plant, EZOCM has an international certificate for its Good Delivery products.

Russian producers of pure precious metals

Refineries whose products do not have an international certificate:

• Prioksky non-ferrous metal plant. The enterprise was commissioned in 1974 in Kasimov, Ryazan region... Until 1991, the plant produced metals and alloys, later it was redesigned to produce gold the highest standard(99.99) for the state reserve.
• The Novosibirsk Refinery is the oldest gold processing plant in Russia. Until 1991, the enterprise was a monopolist in providing state gold reserves (Gokhran) and processed 60% of all mined gold. The plant is famous for its traditions, high culture of production and products of the highest quality.
• Shchelkovo secondary precious metals plant. An enterprise near Moscow specializing in the processing of relatively rich secondary raw materials with at least 2% gold and at least 5% silver. It should be noted that the amount of such secondary precious metals (VDM) is quite limited in the commodity market.
• JSC "Uralelectromed" is an enterprise specializing in the processing of copper concentrates, the so-called "copper gold". The company located in Sverdlovsk region, was previously one of the key suppliers of Gokhran. A large proportion of the raw material structure is secondary copper-based alloys.
• The Kolyma Refinery is one of the newest enterprises, launched in 1998. The main purpose of the plant is the refining of local material.
• The Kyshtym Copper Electrolyte Plant, located in the Chelyabinsk Region, produces gold and silver from poor scrap.

Refining of secondary precious metals

Secondary Precious Metals Refineries (VDM) specialize in waste recycling, special concentrates, some products of primary processing in order to extract precious metals. The degree of refining, environmental friendliness and efficiency of the process at such enterprises depend on the manufacturability of the enterprise, the raw material base, and the chosen specialization. Refineries of the Russian Federation that process VDM: Krastsvetmet, Prioksky and Shchelkovsky plants, EZOTsM, Kolymsky refinery.
