Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that manufactures high-purity metals by removing impurities using methods such as electrolytic refining in the silver parting process of non-ferrous metals.
Description
Silver parting workers are technical professionals who separate and refine non-ferrous metals such as copper, lead, and zinc through electrolytic refining and chemical processing to produce high-purity products. They perform melting furnace operations, supply to electrolytic cells, current and temperature control, solution component analysis, equipment inspection and maintenance, safety management, and quality testing. Since they handle high temperatures and hazardous materials, strict work procedures and safety and health management are required.
