What are Some Examples of Successful Catalyst Recycling?
Several industries have successfully implemented catalyst recycling techniques:
Petrochemical Industry: Uses spent catalysts from refining processes and recycles them for further use, significantly reducing costs. Pharmaceutical Industry: Homogeneous catalysts, especially those involving precious metals like palladium, are often recovered using sophisticated techniques. Environmental Catalysis: Catalysts used in pollution control, such as automotive catalytic converters, are recovered and recycled due to the high value of platinum group metals.
