Spent Catalysts: Pharmaceuticals & Chemicals Industry

Heraeus is a world leader in the refining of spent catalysts.
In the pharmaceutical and chemical industries a wide range of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts are used. These catalysts may contain precious metals such as platinum, palladium, rhodium and ruthenium.
Our recycling process, HeraCycle(R), is dedicated for these catalysts and also for materials from this industry:
- Platinum and palladium on carbon
- Residues from the oxo alcohol production
- Precious metal concentrated resins
- Homogeneous catalysts
