Spent Catalyst Recycling and Catalyst Recovery Processes
Petroleum refining and petrochemical processes rely on catalysts containing precious metals such as platinum, palladium, ruthenium, and rhodium. These precious metal-bearing catalysts speed up chemical reactions and are also used in automotive catalytic converters to help reduce pollution. Due to their value, recovering and recycling these platinum group metals (PGMs) is critical.
EDXRF is a non-destructive technique that provides quick, cost-effective determination of PGMs for spent catalysts recycling and catalyst recovery processes. We offer at-line and on-line instruments so you can recover maximum value from your catalysts.
Benchtop solutions
