Recycling Catalysts

Recycling Catalysts

Do you manufacture

• Basic chemicals such as ethylene oxide, acetic acid anhydride, nitric acid, vinyl acetate monomers
• Fine chemicals and pharmaceutical ingredients such as vitamins and flavoring agents, parasiticides, or active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)
• High-quality benzene derivatives

And need a specialist to recover precious metals from your catalysts?
Put your trust in our expertise and save time, money, and resources.

RHL offers both Hydrometallurgical & Pyrometallurgical Recycling of Precious Metal.

We turn supposed ‘waste’ into something new. We recycle catalysts as quickly as possible, thereby helping you to maintain a secure cash flow. As an expert partner in questions pertaining to waste, we support you in handling cross-border logistics.

The catalysts and materials that we recycle for you are as diverse as the industries in which they are used:

• Powerformer: Platinum/rhenium catalysts on aluminum oxide
• Reforming: Platinum catalysts on aluminum oxide
• Dehydrogenation process: Palladium catalysts on aluminum oxide
• Platinum, palladium, and ruthenium on carbon substrates
• Catalyst gauzes made of platinum, palladium, and rhodium
• Residues from homogeneous catalysts
• Residues from the production of oxo-alcohols

Precious-metal-enriched resins
Catalysts charged with solvents present a particular challenge, because they must be thermally pretreated. This does not present a problem for us, however, because we have the world’s largest capacity for processing powder catalysts containing precious metals.

Additional advantages for you:

• Transparent sampling
• High flexibility when it comes to input materials
• State of the art technology and equipment
• Expertise in logistics and waste legislation
