Platinum is a precious metal, used in jewelry and other fine goods. It’s also a critical ingredient in many life-saving drugs, such as the anticancer drug cisplatin. It’s a rare, hard, silvery-white metal that doesn’t react with, or adversely affect, human tissue.

The first objects to contain platinum were probably forged around 700 BC, but malleable platinum, which requires complex aqueous chemical processing, didn’t make it onto the scene until the 19th century. Its high melting point and resistance to corrosion also made it difficult to work into a useful form until powder metallurgy methods were developed in the 1930s.

Unlike gold or silver, which can be isolated and refined with fire refining techniques, the platinum metals require more extensive, aqueous chemical processes to purify them to their essentially pure states. Because of these challenges, demand for platinum and other precious metals has always lagged behind silver and gold.

In this article, we’ll discuss the process of purifying platinum to produce the powdered form that is used in a variety of manufacturing applications, such as producing platinum-based chemicals and industrial products. We’ll also take a look at the current market and future growth prospects for the global platinum powder industry.

platinum powder is a powdered form of pure platinum that is used in the production of a variety of alloys, platinum chemical compounds and industrial products. Refined platinum powder is typically found in the form of ingot, sponge, granules, shot or slug. It can also be provided in the form of foil, gauze or wire.
