Blockchain tech cannot verify chemical purity, it's not a chemical tech.
Blockchains can record results from chemical purity tests, but if there's an error in the result or at the data entry stage, the blockchain will need to have it's contents amended to the correct figures. It will be more expensive to operate than a regular database, and will have the same accuracy (as there won't be multiple independent assessors to test the metal samples).
In other words, this is a terrible application for blockchain tech.
