Spent dangerous catalysts

The problem of spent catalysts containing dangerous transition metals or dangerous compounds of transition metals is becoming increasingly urgent. The growth of industrial production and the use of catalytic systems in various industries leads to the accumulation of a significant amount of spent catalysts. These materials contain hazardous components that require a special approach to management and processing.

Spent catalysts contain transition metals such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, as well as their dangerous compounds. These elements are widely used in industry to accelerate chemical reactions, particularly in the petrochemical, automotive, and pharmaceutical industries. Over time, the effectiveness of catalysts decreases, and they need to be replaced, turning into waste.

Methods of environmental management of hazardous waste of spent catalysts containing hazardous transition metals or hazardous compounds of transition metals are an important component of sustainable development. Without proper treatment, this waste can pose a threat to the environment and human health.

Modern technologies allow efficient disposal and processing of such waste, but the processes still require significant investment and development. The main problems associated with spent catalysts include the high toxicity of metals and their compounds, the complexity of processing and the need for specialized equipment.

In order to reduce the damage caused by spent catalysts, it is necessary to take comprehensive measures. Among them:

• development and implementation of new waste processing and recycling technologies;
• ensuring proper collection, sorting and transportation of waste;
• increasing the level of education and awareness of employees regarding the safe handling of hazardous waste;
• implementation of a system of monitoring and control over the circulation of hazardous waste;
• cooperation with research institutes and environmental organizations to develop effective solutions.

Operations for the collection, sorting, crushing and treatment of hazardous spent catalyst waste containing hazardous transition metals or hazardous transition metal compounds must meet high standards of safety and environmental responsibility.

Spent catalysts containing hazardous transition metals or hazardous transition metal compounds. Code according to the National list of waste 16 08 02*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D10, D15.

Code according to Annexes VIII, IX to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Shipments of Hazardous Wastes and their Utilization/Removal А2030 (АВ080, АС140).
