In addition to obtaining the most effective expertise in precious metal recovery, serious consideration must be given to financial and legal issues that could arise when partnering with a precious metals refiner. Reforming Catalyst
Many hydrocarbon and petrochemical processes use precious metal-bearing catalysts to facilitate and/or speed up chemical reactions. These catalysts are also used for end-of-pipe pollution abatement applications, mainly to eliminate the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants into the atmosphere. Most catalysts used for hydrocarbon processing applications are composed of platinum group metals (PGMs), including platinum, palladium and rhodium. In some catalyst applications, these metals are utilised in combination and can include gold. A variety of carriers are employed, depending upon the application, including catalyst supports such as soluble or insoluble alumina, silica/alumina or zeolites.
