For the platinum, etc.

Try googling catalytic converter scrap.

Yep, platinum. I recently sold 5 small converters for $200 on eBay.
Some of the foreign cars use rhidium along with platinum. It make platinum look cheap at over 6k/ounce. Platinum is over $2300/ounce.

It is possible, with the right knowledge and caution, to refine pure platinum out of catalytic converters. It is dangerous, doable and worthwhile if you can swing it.

Is there a book or a web page that better explains this process and how to do so?

Two books I recommend: "Refining and Recovery of Precious Metals" by C.W. Ammen and "Refining Precious Metal Wastes" by C.M. Hoke

A very good website is http://goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB2/index.php?sid=98597f70d2810b407404de727c16e513
