Gold Plated Scrap is accumulated from a variety of scrap items that contain a layer of
Electro-Plated
gold on the surface.
The gold is typically sold or refined on a
recovery
basis and the value is determined by the Au content.
Typical Gold Plated Scrap, such as electronics are commonly plated onto a copper substrate material.
Copper is a metal with a porous surface so it is uncommon for Gold to be directly applied to the copper,
as such a layer of nickel is applied to fill the porous copper surface and form a smooth surface that the gold may be applied to.
The Nickel layer provides a smooth surface on which an extremely think layer of Gold may be plated.
The recovery of Gold Plated scrap from electronics copper substrates will subsequently yield some quantity of
Nickel.
The thickness of the nickel layer may range in excess of 5 to 10 times that of the Gold layer.
Gold Content Residues
Gold Content Scrap,
slags, sludges & residues,
ashes, sweeps & dross may be recovered and refined for the metal values.
