Stage 1: Palladium-bearing ore is thoroughly ground and mixed with various fluxes, then poured into a rotary furnace. Lead is then added. After complete melting and absorption of palladium into the lead, the lead is drained.
Stage 2: The lead ingots are placed in cupolas and melted after heating. After draining the molten lead, palladium-bearing buttons accumulate at the bottom of the furnace. These buttons contain precious metals.
Stage 3: The buttons containing palladium undergo an acid leaching process. After dissolution in acids and necessary reagents, other metals precipitate. The resulting precipitate is dried, placed in a crucible, remelted with a flux, and finally, the molten palladium is poured into molds to solidify into ingots after cooling.
