Spent catalysts with precious metals (except those specified under code 16 08 07)

Spent catalysts containing precious metals are not only a valuable resource, but also a serious environmental problem. These elements are used in many industrial processes to accelerate chemical reactions, which makes them an integral part of modern industry. However, after the catalyst loses its effectiveness, the question arises as to the proper management of this waste.

Spent catalysts containing gold, silver, rhenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium or platinum represent a significant challenge for modern environmental management. The problem lies in the large amount of such waste that accumulates at industrial enterprises around the world. Due to the chemical composition of these catalysts, improper management of such waste can lead to serious environmental consequences.

Most industrial processes using catalysts operate on the basis of chemical reactions where precious metals act as a key component. At the end of their service life, these catalysts cannot be reused, making them hazardous waste. Unlike other types of waste, spent catalysts require a special approach due to the presence of precious metals in them. This complicates the process of their collection, sorting and processing. Waste management, collection and processing services: Spent catalysts containing gold, silver, rhenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium or platinum (except those specified under code 16 08 07) NPV code 16 08 01.

Spent catalysts containing gold, silver, rhenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium or platinum (except those specified under code 16 08 07). Code in accordance with the National List of Waste 16 08 01. Operations in accordance with Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" R7, D13.

There are several effective approaches to reducing the damage caused by spent catalysts. One of them is the implementation of ecological methods of waste management. Methods of environmental management of waste catalysts containing precious metals include:

• collection and sorting of waste in order to extract precious metals for their reuse (R7);
• shredding and further processing (D13) of waste using technologies that minimize the negative impact on the environment;
• safe transportation of waste to places of storage or processing.

Ecological waste management of spent catalysts allows not only to reduce damage to the environment, but also to ensure efficient use of resources. Thanks to the collection, sorting, crushing and processing of waste catalysts, it is possible to extract and reuse the precious metals contained in them, thereby reducing the need for the extraction of new resources.

Our company "UtilVtorProm", specializing in ecological waste management, provides comprehensive services for the collection, processing and transportation of spent catalysts containing precious metals. Thanks to advanced technologies and many years of experience, our company provides safe and effective waste management, minimizing their impact on the environment and human health. Waste management of spent catalysts is one of the main specializations of "UtilVtorProm", which makes us a leader in this field.

Using such approaches allows reducing the amount of waste entering the environment, preserving valuable resources, and protecting people's health from the negative effects of toxic substances. This is an important step towards sustainable development and preservation of the environment for future generations.
