Abstract

The use of platinum group metals in the technique is steadily growing, the world production of primary metals does not allow to cover all the needs of the world market. Therefore, the issues related to the implementation of programs on recycled platinum and more sophisticated processing technologies securing minimal losses, become paramount. The article considers the current state and development trends of the world market of platinoids and secondary metals. In recent years , a number of major deposits in South Africa suffered depletion, the sales of platinum group metals from GOKHRAN Russia stockpiles dropped thus exacerbating the problems of the global platinoids market. The article draws attention to the following trends: increase of platinoids recycling and growing production of secondary met­als, substantial reserves provides extracting of platinum group metals from exhausted catalysts of the petrochemical industry and exhausted gases catalysts of cars. The creation of automobile catalysts processing industry allows to return annually up to 5 t of the secondary platinoids , cor­respondingly $250 mln, a substantial contribution to the Russian economy.
