Platinum & Palladium Catalyst Recycling

Artios Metals develops commercial recovery routes for qualifying industrial catalyst and secondary materials containing platinum-group metals and other precious metals.

Material focus

PGM-bearing materials we consider.

Target materials may include platinum-, palladium-, rhodium- and silver-bearing catalysts, alumina-supported materials, production residues, powders, fines and off-specification products.

Technical confidence

Accurate data matters.

PGM-bearing materials can carry substantial value at relatively low metal concentrations. Representative sampling and reliable analytical information are therefore important.

  • Pt, Pd, Rh, Ag and other precious-metal content
  • Assay method and sample representativeness
  • Support material
  • Moisture or loss on ignition
  • Carbon, sulfur and contaminants
  • Physical form and lot homogeneity
  • Quantity, packaging and location
  • Processor minimums, deductions and settlement terms

Commercial options

Structures matched to the lot.

Depending on the material, Artios may evaluate outright purchase, refining-based settlement, recovery placement or another suitable commercial structure through qualified downstream markets.

Initial review

What to send us.

Provide the available assay, catalyst or product identification, SDS, quantity, location, physical form, packaging and clear photographs. For unused or off-specification material, include manufacturer information or a certificate of analysis when available.

Commercial role

Qualified precious-metals recovery markets.

Artios coordinates the commercial transaction and does not claim to operate the physical precious-metals refinery. Physical processing is performed by qualified downstream parties.
