Nickel Catalyst Residue (High Grade)

£13,140.00

High-grade nickel catalyst residue sourced from spent industrial hydrogenation catalysts, featuring verified Ni content of 15–25% with low impurity profile. Processed and screened for consistent particle size, moisture-controlled, and packaged for direct smelter or refinery feed.

Competitive Advantage Spotlight
Unlike mixed-grade residues, our material delivers predictable nickel recovery rates and batch-to-batch consistency, reducing processing costs and downtime for recyclers. Fully documented with assay certificates and compliant with Basel Convention shipping standards, enabling faster cross-border transactions for global buyers.

Description

1. Product Overview

Nickel Catalyst Residue (High Grade) is a secondary nickel-bearing material recovered from spent petrochemical and hydrogenation catalysts. Its primary industrial use is as a cost-effective feedstock for nickel smelters, refineries, and stainless steel producers to extract nickel metal and nickel salts. The key value proposition lies in delivering >18% recoverable Ni content at significantly lower procurement cost versus primary nickel or Class 1 nickel products. It is strategically important as global supply chains prioritize circular economy inputs, ESG-compliant raw materials, and de-risking from primary nickel price volatility.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

  • Chemical Composition: Ni 18–24% (metallic + oxide basis), Al2O3 25–40%, SiO2 5–12%, Fe 0.5–3.0%, S <1.5%, C <2.0%, Mo <0.8%, P <0.05%
  • Purity Level / Grade: High Grade industrial residue, low tramp elements, non-hazardous classification per TCLP when properly processed
  • Physical Characteristics:
    • Form: Spent catalyst pellets, extrudates, or crushed granules
    • Color: Dark grey to black
    • Particle Size: 1–5mm typical, <10% fines <0.5mm, or as per buyer spec
    • Bulk Density: 0.8–1.2 g/cm³
    • Moisture: <8% free moisture, LOI 10–18%
  • Packaging Options: 1 MT jumbo bags with PE liner, 20–25 MT per 20ft container; bulk vessel loading available
  • Shelf Life: Chemically stable under dry storage; no degradation for 24+ months if protected from moisture

3. Core Industrial Applications

  • Primary Industries: Stainless steel production, nickel sulfate manufacturing for EV batteries, specialty alloy producers, non-ferrous metal smelters, chemical processing
  • Specific Operational Use Cases: Direct feed into electric arc furnaces, rotary kiln-electro furnace (RKEF) lines, hydrometallurgical leaching for NiSO4, blending material to adjust nickel units in melt shops
  • Performance vs Alternatives: Offers 30–45% cost savings per nickel unit compared to nickel briquettes or cathode; reduces reliance on laterite/ore mining with faster processing time due to pre-calcined nature
  • Efficiency, Durability, or Cost Advantages: Consistent nickel content reduces bath chemistry variability; low impurities minimize slag volume and refining costs; available in prompt volumes to offset spot shortages

4. Competitive Advantages

  • Quality Consistency: Every lot sampled, assayed by XRF/ICP, with third-party SGS/Inspectorate certificates; batch traceability and COA provided
  • Supply Reliability: 500–1,000 MT monthly allocation from long-term refinery off-take agreements; dedicated stockpile management
  • Logistics Capability: FCA, FOB, and CIF delivery via Douala Port, Cameroon; containerized and breakbulk experience; IMO compliant documentation for non-haz shipments
