What is VCatalyst Metal Recovery?
VCatalyst metal recovery refers to the process of extracting valuable metals—such as vanadium, molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, and platinum group metals—from used or off-spec catalyst materials. These catalysts are widely used in sectors such as petrochemical refining, fertiliser production, and fine chemical manufacturing.
Over time, catalysts become spent and lose their effectiveness, but they often retain a significant amount of metal content. Instead of sending these materials to landfill, LCRL enables businesses to recover these metals and reintroduce them into the supply chain—reducing waste and increasing profitability.
