Audi RS Q3
Audi RS Q3 is a modern car that represents Euro-6 exhaust emission system standards. Taking care of the environment it is essential for any car to have a catalytic converter (catalyst) to prevent pollution. However, as the car has its mileage to serve, the catalyst is as vulnerable to wear off. The average service life of a “cat” converter ranges from 100 to 200 thousand kilometers of mileage. Fuel quality and car operation matter in this regard and could lead to early failure of the system if maintained poorly. Here comes the question, what to do with a used catalytic converter? Does it have any value? And the answer is yes because the value lies inside.
Catalytic converter value
If we disassemble the worn catalyst we notice that the structure located behind the metal jacket cover appears to be in the form of a honeycomb grid. Each cell is coated by a tiny layer of precious metals of the Platinum group: Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium. These elements form a catalytic layer and serve to enhance redox reactions to convert harmful elements into water and carbon dioxide. It works under high temperature conditions and pressure which is the main factor of the limited service life of the catalyst. Despite the converter itself is not going to see a second life it is not a waste yet, as precious metals are still inside.
Catalytic converter price dependencies
To evaluate the price we need to understand if there are factors to influence catalytic price. Most people believe that car brand or engine power may increase or lower the cost, but this does not work like that. Most car manufacturers are not interested in OEM branding as such they use third-party manufacturers for catalysts in specific. Besides, the engine power may also not increase the value of the disassembled cat as the number of precious metals could be different for each device. Hence, we come to the conclusion that the only pricing factor is how much Platinum Palladium and Rhodium are contained inside the honeycomb core. To find out that price you can visit the AutoCatalystMarket website, for additional data about the Audi RS Q3 catalyst, insert its serial number in a search bar.
Catalytic converter scrap price approximation for Audi RS Q3
To get the value out of scrap catalytic converter we need to do catalytic recycle. This is a set of measures of disassembling, grinding honeycombs, and analyzing contents of the Audi RS Q3 catalyst. However, Buyers are also interested in this raw material as is, and you can find them on the AutoCatalystMarket website with contact data with phone numbers and addresses. To find a Buyer near you select your region and the options will be presented.
Catalytic converter recycling
As we have already mentioned before we set a used catalytic converter for sale we want to estimate the exact price for its contains of Palladium, Platinum, and Rhodium. To do so, we go through a whole recycling procedure that includes spectral or XRF analysis to reveal the percentage of precious metals in a given scrap sample. That way we assign catalytic converter price per kg and now can go for refining measures. Refining is to extract pure metals from the raw material that you can eventually sell for good. To not waste time doing that on your own you can get our Buyer's help that will take your worn catalyst for these procedures themselves.
