Spent Industrial Catalysts
Due to their high precious metals content, the recycling of Spent Industrial Catalysts is crucial for the overall performance of the industrial catalytic process.
Umicore Precious Metals Refining has developed various and unique original sampling techniques for solid (wet or dry) and Liquid Spent Catalysts in order to receive unbiased, reliable and fully representative samples: no unexpected losses, no pre-treatment (e.g. incineration).
Our unique sampling and refining technology result in highly efficient, accurate and environmentally sound reclaiming of valuable metals.
