Precious metal recycling Waste Streams
Industrial catalysts
Recovering value for customers that manufacture chemicals such as ethylene oxide and Pt catalyst.
Maximize recovery from large-scale processes
Industrial catalysts are essential to large-scale chemical production and often contain significant quantities of silver, platinum, and other precious metals.
At Sibanye-Stillwater Recycling operations, we help recover these valuable materials from catalyst manufacturing, and spent catalysts and process residues, supporting continuous production efficiency.
As catalyst costs and demand increase, recovery becomes a critical component of operational strategy.
We partner with catalyst producers to deliver reliable, high-yield recycling solutions.
Identify hidden value across
your workflow
True recovery starts with knowing where precious metals are slipping through the cracks. These commonly overlooked areas of industrial catalyst production often hold more value than expected.
Spent catalyst materials
Core recovery streams:
- Silver-based ethylene oxide catalysts
- Platinum group metal catalysts
- Catalyst fines and dust
Process residues
Additional opportunities:
- Reactor deposits
- Filtration solids
- Sludge and byproducts
Handling and transport
Hidden value in:
- Packaging residues
- Transfer losses
- Storage materials
Facility waste
Often overlooked:
- Dust and sweepings
- PPE and filters
- Maintenance debris
Industrial scale. Optimized returns.
Efficient recovery ensures maximum value from high-volume operations.
