The catalytic converter is a mandatory part of the exhaust system of every car today. Put on the assembly line production back in the distant 70s, they serve as a means of fighting against environmental pollution by exhaust gases.

However, do not hurry to get rid of the used catalytic converter because there is a hidden value in it, which is in demand, and we will tell you about it today.

Catalytic converter value

The reason why the catalyst retains its value even after it has been used up lies in its honeycomb core with a sputtering catalytic layer. This layer serves to accelerate chemical processes aimed at neutralizing carbon monoxide and other harmful substances by converting them into harmless water and carbon dioxide. These redox reactions occur at very high temperatures, which is a fundamental factor in the wear of the exhaust system function. The catalytic layer contains Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium, which are precious metals and have their value both at Buyers and on the precious metal exchange.
