Smelting Car Catalytic Converter For Platinum

In this video, I attempt to smelt a catalytic converter to extract platinum group metals (PGMs). I go through the entire process, from crushing the ceramic to mixing fluxes, smelting, and refining the recovered metals. After multiple attempts using different collector materials, including pyrite, lead, and silver, I finally managed to recover a small amount of platinum. The final yield was about 0.5 grams of platinum from 1.5 kg of catalytic converter ceramic, which equates to 350 mg per kg—a rather low result. Despite the challenges, this experiment was a valuable learning experience in metal recovery and refining. If you enjoyed the video, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more metal refining experiments! Let me know in the comments what you think or if you have any suggestions for future tests. Thanks for watching! #Platinum #smelting #catalyticconverter
