Technology and possibilities of recycling catalysts

Abstract

The presented article focuses on the possibilities of recycling three types of catalysts. These catalyst types will undergo examination, measurement, and analysis with the aim of identifying which of these catalysts contains the necessary number of precious metals (PGM - Platinum Group Metals). PGM metals are among the rarest and most challenging-to-obtain elements on Earth, carrying a high risk of supply shortage. Nevertheless, they are crucial for the European Union (EU) and the automotive industry. Not every catalyst used in the market is suitable for recycling due to the absence of these precious metal particles.
