With decades of experience in industrial chemical recycling, we are the trusted choice for businesses looking to manage hazardous waste properly while recovering the maximum possible value from metal-rich residues.
What is a Molybdenum Catalyst?
A molybdenum catalyst is a type of industrial catalyst used in refining, hydrodesulphurisation, petrochemical processing, and chemical production. These materials typically contain molybdenum oxides or sulphides supported on carriers such as alumina, and are essential in processes where the removal of sulphur, nitrogen or other impurities is critical.
Over time, these catalysts become spent or lose their reactivity. However, rather than being discarded, spent molybdenum catalysts can be recycled to recover the molybdenum content—an approach that not only reduces environmental impact but also supports the circular economy.
Why Choose London Chemicals and Resources Ltd?
When it comes to managing molybdenum catalysts, experience and compliance matter. At LCRL, we handle all aspects of catalyst recycling and recovery, from technical evaluation to secure transportation and final metal extraction.
