Spent Pt/Alumina Catalyst

Description

1. Product Overview
   Spent Pt/Alumina Catalyst is a high-value industrial spent catalyst material derived from petrochemical and refining processes, containing recoverable platinum group metals supported on alumina. It is primarily used as a secondary raw material for precious metal recovery and catalyst regeneration in specialized recycling and refining operations. The key value proposition lies in its embedded platinum content, making it a strategic feedstock for circular economy supply chains. In a tightening global PGMs market, this material plays a critical role in cost-efficient resource recovery and supply security.
2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Material Composition: Spent alumina-based catalyst containing trace Platinum (Pt) and other platinum group metals (variable content)
• Support Material: High-purity activated alumina substrate
• Metal Content: Trace Pt group metals (content varies by batch and source process)
• Physical Form: Granules / extrudates / pellets (spent catalyst form)
• Color: Off-white to dark grey (dependent on service history)
• Density: Process-dependent bulk density (typical industrial catalyst range)
• Packaging: Sealed industrial drums or steel barrels with moisture protection lining
• Shelf Life: Stable under dry, controlled storage conditions (no degradation of metal value over time)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Precious Metal Recovery: Primary feedstock for platinum extraction and refining operations
• Petrochemical Recycling Streams: Reprocessing within refinery catalyst regeneration loops
• Metallurgical Processing: Input material for hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical recovery systems
• Circular Supply Chains: Supports sustainable sourcing of platinum group metals
  This material outperforms virgin sourcing alternatives in cost efficiency, enabling recovery of high-value metals from existing industrial waste streams while reducing dependency on primary mining operations. It offers strong economic upside when processed through optimized recovery technologies.
