Industrial Catalysts
Source of secondary precious metals
Ailit buys industrial catalysts in granular and powder form. Their purchase price is determined by the precious metal content. Precious metals can be used to accelerate chemical reactions in industrial catalysts.
Whether biomass plants, natural gas plants or coffee roasters, many industries use exhaust gas cleaning systems that integrate catalysts or diesel particulate filters to reduce harmful emissions and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
These catalysts usually use precious metals such as platinum, palladium and sometimes rhodium, which contribute to the efficient removal of pollutants and to environmental protection. At the end of their useful life, the precious metals are extracted from the industrial catalysts and then recycled back into the production cycle. This ensures sustainable protection of the planet and efficient use of resources.
Catalysts are widely used in various industrial sectors. In oil refining, they are used to produce fuels such as petrol, diesel and heating oil. In addition, catalysts are used in the production of plastics, synthetic rubbers, fabrics and cosmetics. They are also important in clean energy production, e.g. for the production of hydrogen for fuel cells and biofuels from inedible biomass. Automotive emission catalysts help reduce CO, NOx and hydrocarbon emissions. Catalysts are also used in the production of polymers, pharmaceuticals and food products
Historical Overview:
Catalytic technology has been used for several centuries. Industrial catalytic technology dates back to 1875, when large-scale production of sulphuric acid using platinum catalysts began. In the early 20th century, key catalytic processes such as ammonia synthesis and synthetic hydrocarbon production were developed, transforming the energy and chemical industries.
Ailit Company:
“Ailit” company specialises in the purchase and recycling of industrial catalysts. The company aims to reduce waste and contribute to the sustainable development of industry by offering efficient solutions for the recycling of catalysts.
