The PGM-Enriched Copper Ingot Production Plan outlines a fusion-based process for producing copper ingots enriched with platinum group metals and gold. The system uses a 500 kg induction furnace to melt copper, PGM-bearing ore, and specialized flux, producing approximately 450–500 kg of PGM-rich copper ingots from about 1 ton of ore per daily cycle. The plan highlights controlled melting, slag removal, emission control with electric induction heating and scrubber systems, quality verification through ICP/XRF testing, and future expansion options such as additional furnaces, gold electrowinning, customized flux formulas, and process automation.
