    Eesa,

    Just a detail: In North America, at least, pretty well all overhead high voltage wiring (>1,000V) is aluminum. It is used because it is lighter, for the long spans, and the higher resistance of Al doesn't count as much with the high voltages used.



    You have a good point, though, about copper refiners pulling the PM's out of the copper as they refine it. Probably adds up faster than we might think.

    Jon.

    You ask if it's worth it...who are you selling to? How is the market where you will be selling? Can you sell the powdered form? Sounds like a special market.
