How to Improve the Environmental Impact of Refining Metal for Jewelry

If you’re like many metal refiners, the issue of environmental impact has crossed your mind. This is especially true if the state in which you’re based has strict regulations that target your business for excessive copper, silver, and other non-precious metals that qualify as restricted. Improve your business’s impact on the environment and reduce precious metal waste by adjusting how you operate.

Hire Professionals

If you craft jewelry, you don’t always have the time to devote to refining metal. The best precious metal refiners take on clients and offer to do the refining for them from jewelry craft excess and other materials clients gather. They also sell their own refined metal so you don’t have to worry about collecting materials. Focus on what matters to you — the jewelry design and manufacture — and stop worrying about environmental impacts by leaving the refining to the experts.

Don’t Mix Ultrasonic Solutions With Waste Water

The waste water you use to collect the small amount of precious metal that comes off during your refining process or even when polishers wash their hands won’t collect all of your metal. If you consistently mix ultrasonic solutions into your settling tanks with the waste water, you’ll lose even more of the metals back along with the waste, which means your excess metals make their way back to the natural water source in your area.

Use Flocculant

Even if you keep your ultrasonic solutions separate from your waste water, you’ll still have some metal that escapes with the water. Filters won’t help. Treat the water with flocculant before it leaves the building and the metal particles will collect as a sludge that’s easier to extract.

Caring about your business’ impact on the environment not only keeps your business free of regulation infractions, but it also ensures you get the most metal out of your refining process. If you don’t want to worry about it, do the most efficient and easy thing: hire an expert to do it or buy from the expert directly.
