No, we are not a scrap yard.
Accurate Recycling sets itself apart from scrap yards by not allowing walk-in material and by focusing only on rare-earth, refractory and precious metals. We will never buy things like copper wire, radiators, extruded aluminum, etc. but we will buy tungsten powder & sludge, burnt molybdenum scraps, silver contaminated turnings, and soon, Neodymium Magnets and hopefully again, printed circuit boards.
Our metallurgists and chemists work hard to find the right balance of chemicals all while keeping it cost-effective to us and thus every unique material we receive will require different ratio's of chemicals, acids and go through different processes. In the example of Neodymium Magnets we need to figure out how to remove the boron and iron content while keeping the use of our acids and raw material to a minimum. Once we overcome that hurdle the Neodymium and Nickel content is a simple electroplating process.
We are working hard and have invested 10's of thousands of dollars in research for neodymium magnets alone. We have the technology, we have the people, we just need a little more time. I am sure we will be an extremely valuable asset to this community very, very soon.
But to answer your reply, yes we are interested in the materials this community can offer. But no, we can not accept it until we have perfected the process. I will keep you all informed as we further progress in our research.
