Principles of refinery and casting of precious metals – how Bulmint closes the entire process

Summary

Bulmint has recently expanded its production portfolio. A state-of-the-art gold refinery now completes the program.

Based on that we would like to show the principles of gold refining based on primary digestion with Agua Regia, followed by precipitation with selective reagent and final – electrolytic refining for achieving the highest purity of gold.

Furthermore, there are also new investments in the area of continuous casting capacity with an integrated coiler, which allows us to fulfill the diverse customer requests with the highest quality and cost-effectively.

In short, Bulmint would like to bring the previously unknown start of the production process of many precious metal products closer to home.
