Jack, I am not only puzzled by the Rh inquarts but it could make sense if indeed it is specific to Rh), I am much more puzzled by the implication that GPGI can separate the Rh from the rest (in preparing the inquarts). If they know how to get the Rh out, why do they need Sabin?

<<puzzled by the addition of an "inquart" to the "leaching process">> Jack, I was also puzzled by this and asked about it. Perhaps the term inquart is not fully apt, because the explanation given was that the use of the same metal was at least as much a collector as the conventional use of an inquart, or calibrator element. Technical specifics are beyond my ken, but the point is to use Rh to collect more of itself. How elemental Rh was achieved I don't know, but my guess is that Sabin would able to do this more efficiently (profitably). Global will use it as the [excellent metaphor, CL] sourdough starter (Global-refined or Sabin-refined) as CLP has indicated. All this is very intriguing to me...wouldn't you just loooove to be able to hop a time machine and take a peek ahead 24 months?
