Recycling of automotive catalytic converters and oxygen sensors
Ceramic catalysts
The ceramic body of a catalyst (monolith) honeycomb contains thinly walled channels, coated typically with platinum, palladium, and rhodium which provide the catalytic effect in the exhaust gas stream. Whether whole ceramic converters, semi-crushed monolith, or ground monolith – high-precision processing is standard at RQUBE.
Metal foil catalysts
The precious metals carrier of metal foil catalysts consists of a thin, corrugated, tightly wound metal foil. Recycling these catalysts is difficult and costly. RQUBE has developed its own highly efficient technology to guarantee the best results on the market.
Diesel particle filters
Diesel particle filters, also known as DPFs, reduce the amount of harmful particles in the exhaust gas of diesel engines. The porous walls consist mostly of silicon carbide (SiC) and also contain precious metals.
Oxygen sensors
An oxygen sensor is a sensor that measures the oxygen content in the exhaust gas flow of a car, enabling the engine control system to regulate the correct fuel-air mixture. MAIREC has developed a particularly innovative recycling solution for end-of-life oxygen sensors.
Recycling of industrial catalysts
the production of chemical products VAM-palladium and gold on aluminium oxide silicate from the manufacture of chemical products Palladium and/or platinum on activated carbon from the manufacture of chemical products Various precious metals on activated carbon from the production of pharmaceutical products Reforming catalysts and other petrochemical catalysts, containing soluble and insoluble alumina, silica-alumina, zeolite and activated carbon
