Catalytic Converter Recycling & PGM Recovery in South Africa

 

 

At Palladium Recycling Pty Ltd, we provide professional catalytic converter recycling and Platinum Group Metal (PGM) recovery solutions across South Africa and the SADC region.

 

Spent catalytic converters can contain valuable Platinum Group Metals, including palladium, platinum and rhodium. Through responsible recycling and controlled recovery processes, these valuable metals can be recovered from suitable automotive materials and returned to productive use.

 

Professional Catalytic Converter Recycling

Catalytic converter recycling involves the responsible processing of spent catalytic converters to recover valuable materials and precious metals.

At Palladium Recycling Pty Ltd, we combine professional sampling, accurate analysis, advanced recovery technologies and controlled refining processes to help determine and recover valuable PGMs from suitable catalytic converter materials.

Our approach is focused on responsible material handling, accurate evaluation and efficient precious metal recovery.

PGMs in Catalytic Converters

Catalytic converters can contain valuable Platinum Group Metals, particularly:

  • Palladium

  • Platinum

  • Rhodium

The type and concentration of PGMs can vary depending on the converter and its application. For this reason, professional sampling and analysis are important when evaluating catalytic converter materials.

 

Catalytic Converter Sampling & Analysis

Accurate evaluation is an important part of catalytic converter recycling.

Our professional sampling and analysis processes help identify the precious metals present in suitable materials and support informed recovery and refining decisions.

Analysis can help evaluate the potential presence of:

Palladium + Platinum + Rhodium

The results can then support appropriate processing and recovery decisions.

 

PGM Recovery from Catalytic Converters

Catalytic converters are an important secondary source of Platinum Group Metals.

Our PGM recovery services focus on recovering valuable palladium, platinum and rhodium from suitable materials through controlled processing and refining.

Responsible Catalytic Converter Recycling

Recycling catalytic converters provides an opportunity to recover valuable resources from end-of-life automotive components.

Instead of allowing valuable PGMs to remain in discarded materials, responsible recycling can recover these metals for further processing and reuse.

Our focus is on responsible, efficient and sustainable precious metal recovery.

 

Maximizing Value from Catalytic Converter Materials

Every catalytic converter is different, and precious metal content can vary significantly.

Professional sampling and analysis can help businesses better understand the material they have before recovery and refining.

Our integrated process is designed to help clients:

  • Identify valuable PGMs

  • Evaluate suitable materials

  • Understand potential recovery value

  • Determine appropriate processing

  • Recover valuable precious metals

  • Support responsible recycling
