Expertise in precious metal catalyst recycling: One of our core competencies is the recycling of spent precious metal catalysts in refining processes such as regeneration, isomerization and hydrogenation. These catalysts may contain ruthenium oxide in addition to platinum group metals. In the petrochemical industry, catalysts containing noble metals are also used in various processes. It contains platinum, palladium, rhodium and ruthenium. In addition, silver-containing catalysts are widely used in the production of ethylene oxide. Depending on the type of material involved, the amount, material matrix and precious metal content involved, careful selection of the correct sampling procedure is required. Pretreatment, sampling, recycling processes and analysis where necessary are essential elements of precious metal refining. Use dedicated sampling and appropriate analytical equipment to prepare, homogenize and analyze representative samples of valuable recycled material.
The catalysts and materials we recycle for you are as diverse as the industries they are used in:
- Platinum/rhenium catalyst on alumina
- Reforming: Platinum Catalysts on Alumina
- Dehydrogenation Process: Palladium Catalyst on Alumina
- Platinum, Palladium and Ruthenium on Carbon Substrates
- Catalyst screens made of platinum, palladium and rhodium
- Homogeneous Catalyst Residues
- Residues from oxo alcohol production
- Precious Metal Rich Resins
The petrochemical industry can recycle a lot of waste platinum catalysts and spent palladium catalysts. Based on “trust”, “safety” and “technology”, we propose total solutions from precious metal scrap recycling, refining to re-production.
In the production process of chemical products, more than 85% of the reactions are carried out under the action of catalysts. Precious metal catalysts play an extremely important role in oil refining and petrochemicals due to their irreplaceable catalytic activity and selectivity.
Platinum group metal catalysts have important applications in petroleum refining processes. The first step in petroleum refining is distillation, which separates heavy crude oil into gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, heating oil, and fuel oil. Additional steps are required because the natural ratios of these components are not exactly as required for the various fuels to transform some products, especially high-demand motor gasoline. These additional steps include catalytic reforming, hydrogenation, catalytic cracking, and alkylation, among others. Platinum catalysts supported by alumina, silica, graphite, etc. are often used in the petroleum industry, but the catalyst loses its effect due to contamination by organic substances such as flammable gases. At this point the catalyst fails. Platinum is regenerated from this spent catalyst. Catalyst materials and catalytic technology are the key to the development of chemical industry. In modern industry, the output value generated by the use of catalytic technology has accounted for about 30% of the total national economic output. Platinum group metals have excellent catalytic activity and selectivity. Among them, palladium is a “multi-talented” catalyst and one of the catalysts with a wide range of uses. It is widely used in various fields such as inorganic chemical industry, organic chemical industry, petrochemical industry, fine chemical industry and environmental purification. Various chemical reactions in the field, such as oxidation reactions, hydrogenation reactions, hydrocracking reactions, dehydrogenation reactions, hydrogenolysis reactions, polymerization reactions, organic synthesis reactions, and cross-coupling reactions. Scrap is an important asset. Please select recyclers and refiners based on safety and trust.

The effect of platinum group metals on industry is just like our human body cannot do without vitamins, and it is also known as “industrial vitamins”. Although the quantity is small, it is indispensable. Among the platinum group metals, platinum is the most widely used and has the longest history. Palladium is also used in large quantities and often replaces platinum in some applications. Platinum group metals have high melting point, good electrical conductivity and high chemical stability, and the alloys of platinum group metals are resistant to high temperature, oxidation, corrosion and friction, and have good thermoelectric stability, small expansion coefficient and high temperature strength, which are widely used in various industries. field. In medicine, it can be used as an anticancer drug, and platinum compounds such as cisplatin are used in cancer chemotherapy. Scientists have found that anyone’s skin will not be allergic to platinum, and gold can be made into electrodes for electronic pulse regulators, which can be directly inserted into the human heart to treat patients with arrhythmia. Alloys of platinum or palladium are also used as dental materials. Platinum complexes, cisplatin and carboplatin, are also drugs for the treatment of cancer. Platinum is also used to make electrodes for biosensors. Precious metals are widely used in the medical industry and the pharmaceutical industry.

Precious metal materials for the glass industry, where the use of platinum materials is the basic prerequisite for the production of glass with the highest quality requirements. Pyeongtaek Precious Metals Recycling Company recycles all precious metal related materials in the glass industry.
The glass industry is one of the important real industries in the national economy. Its products include advanced optical glass, architectural decoration and household glass, and glass fiber.
Advanced optical glass has high transparency, high uniformity in chemistry and physics (structure and performance), and specific and precise optical constants. It is the foundation and important part of the optoelectronic technology industry. The production process and conditions of advanced optical glass must be strictly controlled. First, a crucible that does not pollute the glass must be selected. Ordinary glass is an amorphous inorganic material such as silicate, borate, borosilicate and platinum silicate. The melt has high viscosity at high temperature and has strong corrosion to the container. Therefore, molten glass is required The container material must have high strength and strong corrosion resistance. The molten glass is drawn into fibrous filaments through the small holes of the bushing plate, so the requirements for high temperature strength and corrosion resistance of the bushing plate material are higher.
Platinum engineered materials achieve their optimum performance through their platinum component production process – whether for specialty glass melting and forming, glass fiber melting and forming, or ammonia oxidation.
Glass fiber, glass industry and chemical fiber industry are the biggest demanders of platinum group metals. Platinum series and its alloys are used in the manufacture of glass fibers, bushings for glass products, crucibles and spinnerets for chemical fibers. Grades PtRh-7, PtRh.10, PtRh.30 and some multi-component alloys have been widely used as thermal strength alloys. One of the most promising materials for making thermostrength materials for glass melting crucibles is precious metals clad in composite materials. Under high temperature, corrosive environment and load state, platinum crucible is used for heating and melting optical glass, and platinum glass melting vessel is used for glass fiber production.
