Across petroleum refining, petrochemical production, and automotive manufacturing, catalysts are indispensable. But once these catalysts are spent, they become more than industrial waste—they become an opportunity. At Dingfeng Precious Metals, we help clients worldwide recover valuable platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and rhodium (Rh) from used catalysts through efficient, responsible, and profitable recycling.

The Case for Recycling Spent Catalysts

When catalysts are no longer active, they often contain significant residual amounts of precious metals. These platinum group metals (PGMs) are not only costly but are also classified as critical raw materials. Recycling them brings multiple advantages:

Extract hidden value from what would otherwise be discarded waste
Support global sustainability efforts by reducing the need for mining
Protect your company from raw material price volatility
Ensure safe, compliant disposal of potentially hazardous materials

Our Process: Precision Meets Responsibility

Dingfeng Precious Metals applies advanced metallurgical technologies to achieve high recovery yields while maintaining strict environmental controls. Our refining process includes:

Hydrometallurgy and thermal processing tailored to specific catalyst materials
High-purity recovery, with Pt, Pd, and Rh extraction rates above industry standards
Low-emission, closed-loop systems designed for eco-conscious operations

We handle a wide range of catalyst types including FCC, hydroprocessing, and emission control units.
