Copper & CuZn Catalyst Recycling

Artios Metals evaluates copper- and copper-zinc-bearing industrial catalysts and related secondary materials for suitable recycling, recovery and downstream markets.

Material focus

Copper-bearing materials we consider.

The commercial value of these materials depends on more than copper percentage alone. Zinc, support material, moisture, contaminants, physical condition, quantity and receiving-facility specifications can all influence the available route.

Material profile

Evaluation factors.

A defined technical profile helps qualified downstream markets evaluate acceptance, recoverable value and the practical commercial route.

  • Copper and zinc content
  • Other contained metals
  • Moisture or loss on ignition
  • Support or carrier
  • Carbon, sulfur, silica and other relevant constituents
  • Net quantity and packaging
  • Current location and physical form
  • Available SDS and assay data

Commercial route development

Downstream fit drives the route.

Artios compares the material profile against qualified downstream market requirements and develops a practical commercial route where a viable fit exists.

Initial review

What to send us.

Share the available analysis, net quantity, current location, physical form, packaging, SDS and clear photographs for an initial commercial review.

Qualified execution

Commercial coordination through appropriate markets.

Physical recycling, processing, transport and regulated services are performed by appropriately qualified third parties where applicable.
