How to sell surplus Rhodium, other plating electrolytes and equipment?
June 8, 2008 Dear all, I’m from Romania and have a plating shop, mostely for Zn, ZnFe, Cr, Ni and Cu. Due to some customer requests I established also a small precious metal plating line in 1liter scale 3 years ago. After all the demand was not high and the Rh and Au prices increased a lot, so I decided to stop that business 1 year ago. I sold the old Rh and Au electrolytes, hooks and racks to a refinery – they cheated me like hell, they paid only 25 per gram of rhodium and 11 for Au. Now my question, I have some unused electrolytes left, like 4 g Rhodium for rack plating, 2 g Rh for pen plating, 1.5 g Au rose (4-5N) for pen plating, around 3 g Au as PGC, 2 almost brand new beaker glass Platinodes, glassware, rectifier and so on. In my eyes too good to dump it or to sell it to a refinery (pirates!!!). Any idea what I can do with that things, so far it seems there is nobody in romania who can use that things…. Any help would be nice!!! Best regards, Dan P. plating shop – Bucharest, Bu
