BMW 3 series Coupe Catalytic Converters Scrap Prices (5 results)

BMW 3 Series Coupe

With the growth of the automobile industry, the threat to the environment caused by harmful exhaust emissions from vehicles is also increasing. In order to combat this, car catalytic converters (catalysts) were introduced to mass production in the mid-70s. In the fight for clean air, Euro standards have been developed for exhaust systems and Euro-3 with Euro-6 are the most common. But catalysts are consumable, with an average service life measured in the mileage of the car. Varying from 100 to 200 thousand kilometers, early wear of the catalytic converter occurs with improper use of the car. What to do with the used catalytic converter of your BMW 3 Series Coupe? To find out, we need to look at what is its device first.

Catalytic converter value and device

The catalytic converter is a device that comes after the exhaust manifold where the gas enters and is cleaned of toxins. This happens thanks to the catalytic layer, which is applied to the honeycomb ceramic core of the catalyst. This layer contains platinum group metals - Palladium, Platinum, and Rhodium. They in turn catalyze chemical processes aimed at breaking down carbon monoxide and other chemically toxic elements into safe ones such as water and nitrogen. Platinum group elements are precious metals and are in demand everywhere. The best way to extract this value is through catalytic recycle processes.

Catalytic converter price

Catalytic price is set by the car manufacturer and depends on its engine power - this misconception is most often found on the Internet. Big car companies are not engaged in the original manufacture of exhaust systems and more often use third-party Manufacturers to avoid wasting time and strengthen their own production. Also, it makes no sense to think about the power of the engine, because the catalytic converters are unique and all their value is calculated in the amount of Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium inside which can be found out only by carrying out a complete recycle of the catalytic converter (catalyst) with a Buyer company that you can find on the AutoCatalystMarket website.

Catalytic converter recycling

The refining process involves three main stages. The first is grinding the catalyst honeycomb to powder. Next, a sample is taken for spectral analysis to determine the percentage of metals of interest in it. After that, the catalytic converter price per kg of raw material is formed and the whole batch is sent for purification. In this way, we can separate the valuable elements from other substances, and then we can reuse them taking into account the prices on the precious metals exchange.

All these complex processes are best coordinated with a Buyer company that will do all the necessary work and make you a good offer.
