SELL YOUR RHODIUM SCRAP
If your business handles rhodium products or produces rhodium-bearing scrap, you can sell them to our precious metal refinery.
Rhodium is a Precious Metal
It can handle even corrosive materials and is also safe in temperatures so high that platinum would have long turned into a puddle. It is not as well known as gold or platinum but it can bring in big bucks when you pawn it.
Rhodium is a scarce precious metal derived from platinum mining. Most rhodium in the precious metals industry comes from a famous mining region in South Africa called the Bushveld complex. However, soaring demand has increased prices in recent years, making your scrap Rhodium valuable.
The demand for rhodium is soaring in the industry, majorly to meet the rising and stringent emission norms laid by the government.
Global rhodium demand 2010-2023
Rhodium is a platinum-group metal. In 2022, the global demand for rhodium was forecast to reach about 1.06 million ounces, an increase when compared to the demand of approximately 998 thousand ounces in the previous year.

Rhodium metal is lustrous and silvery white. Rhodium has a higher melting point and lower density than platinum. It has a high reflectance and is hard and durable. Upon heating it turns to the oxide when red and at higher temperatures turns back to the element.
Is rhodium magnetic? You may have noticed magnets attract pieces of rhodium-plated jewelry. This is because rhodium is a paramagnetic metallic metal. This means that a magnetic force will attract rhodium-plated jewelry.
Perform the light test. Under a bright light look at the underside of the ring where your finger comes in contact with table surfaces. If the ring is rhodium-plated, the yellow gold will show through slightly due to the everyday wear of the ring.
Procedzlre-To 5 ml of a neutral solution in an ordinary test tube add 5 drops of the reagent and place the test tube in a beaker of boiling water for 5 minutes. The appearance of an orange to orange-red colour indicates the presence of rhodium. The limit of rhodium detectable is 0.5 pg per ml.
Rhodium is obtained as a by-product from mining platinum and palladium in the USA (Montana), South Africa and Russia.
Most white gold jewelry in the commercial market is actually rhodium plated. If your “white gold” jewelry is lustrous silver, then it probably has a layer of rhodium. If it has a light yellow tinge then it's likely true white gold.

Rhodium is used as an alloying agent for hardening and improving the corrosion resistance of platinum and palladium. These alloys are used in furnace windings, bushings for glass fiber production, thermocouple elements, electrodes for aircraft spark plugs, and laboratory crucibles.
Rhodium is separated from iridium by extracting its diphenylthiourea— tin(II) chloride complex into chloroform from 1–2 M hydrochloric acid.
Rhodium is the rarest of all non-radioactive metals. It occurs uncombined in nature, along with other platinum metals, in river sands in North and South America. It is also found in the copper-nickel sulfide ores of Ontario, Canada.
Occurring native with other platinum group metals, rhodium is the highest in electrical and thermal conductivity. It is silvery-white and has a very reflective surface. Rhodium is very hard, durable, and highly resistant to corrosion.
Rhodium is a very special metal in terms of its performance in converting NOx into harmless gases, and will continue to be the metal of choice for the control of NOx. Rhodium is used in other industries to a far lesser extent: a catalyst for producing nitric and acetic acids in the chemical industry.
RHODIUM. While the major use of rhodium (Rh) is in catalytic converters, 11% of production is used in glass-related applications, such as coatings for optic fibres and optical mirrors. Because it is also highly resistant to corrosion, it is used for thermocouple elements and crucibles.
PALLADIUM: 2ND MOST VALUABLE METAL
But, unlike rhodium, palladium is only used in diesel vehicles. Based on industrial usage, mainly in the automotive industry, the value of gold and platinum have to flip-flopped over the years. Palladium is more rare than platinum and is used more widely in industrial applications.
South Africa, Russia, and Zimbabwe are the major producers of rhodium ore, with South Africa being the largest producer.
In terms of abundance in the Earth's crust, the rarest metals are: gold, platinum, osmium, iridium, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, tellurium and rhenium. These metals are different from Rare Earth Elements, which aren't actually rare in terms of abundance, but are rarely found in concentrated ore deposits.
ICMM company member Sibanye-Stillwater is the world's largest primary producer of platinum and rhodium, the second largest of palladium and a top tier gold producer.
