The catalytic converter is an important part of every modern car to combat harmful exhaust gases in the environment by cleaning it. Like any part, the catalytic converter is subject to wear and tear, which is affected by the mileage of the car, the quality of fuel, and the overall operation of the vehicle. The question arises as to what to do with a used catalytic converter and how to determine its cost. Many simply cut them out and get rid of them, but there are better ways than this because there is a recycling of catalytic converters. Consider the AutoCatalystMarket website, which opens up buying and selling opportunities for worn cat converters in Zambia via recycling. The site provides all the information you need to sell catalytic converters in Zambia, including pricing policies and factors of its formation. Here you will easily find companies in your area who would like to buy your catalytic converter (catalyst), so let's see what the value of used catalytic converters is to them.

Selling points

As the exhaust gases pass through the exhaust manifold, they fall onto a grid of ceramic honeycombs coated with a catalytic layer. Then, redox reactions take place at high temperatures aimed at splitting harmful substances of exhaust gases into harmless ones. The catalytic layer contains elements of the platinum group accelerating this conversion process. These elements - Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium, being chemical reaction catalysts, are precious metals that are of interest both at the precious metals exchange and at buyer companies for their further recycling to extract these elements which in turn are the essence for sale. You can find information about costs, prices and buyers on the AutoCatalystMarket website. Our entire database is constantly updated to provide only valuable and actual information to our subscribers.

Type and price identification

To determine the value of the used catalytic converter (catalyst), you must first identify it. You can do this on the AutoCatalystMarket website visually by photo, as well as by the manufacturer of the specific equipment using the serial number, which you can also insert in the search box of the site. After identifying your catalytic converter on the AutoCatalystMarket website, you can also find a buyer company here that will carry out its further processing for your own specific region in Zambia.

How to find buyers near me

You can find catalytic converter buyers near you on AutoCatalystMarket by changing the search region to Zambia. They are interested in buying catalytic converter scrap and any forms of non-processed raw material. They work with both B2B and B2C segments. The main advantage of the AutoCatalystMarket site is its convenience, because you do not have to go through all the stages of catalytic recycling yourself and all this will be provided by the buyer company. Let's dwell on these stages of processing and what their essence is.

Recycling near me and how it works

The complete catalytic converter recycling process involves a number of procedures. Firstly, the ceramic core is removed from its shell and grounded. This grinding is pressed into tablets for further analysis in a fluorescence spectrometer. XRF analysis determines the percentages of Platinum Palladium and Rhodium in the sample and a catalytic converter scrap price per kg is obtained. Once the important constituents have been determined, we send it all to refining, where the precious metals are extracted in their purest form by alkalinization and plasma furnaces treatment. Now, with pure raw materials in hand, we can reuse them in the manufacture of new catalysts and in other applications. Having passed all these stages, we also set a specific cost for the catalyst, taking into account the volatility of prices on the precious metals exchange.

Thanks to the AutoCatalystMarket site you do not need to go through this routine yourself. The full cycle will be done by the buying company. You can learn more about your catalytic converter by looking at its components, therefore you will get a price, and ways to sell it in the Zambia region.

There are as many manufacturers of catalytic converters in Zambia as there are Car Brands because most car concerns use the services of third-party companies that specialize specifically in the manufacture of catalytic converters for cars. Therefore, the price of each individual catalytic converter (catalyst) may vary depending on its type, which is defined by the fuel used corresponding to the engine type: Gasoline, Diesel, or Combined.

The most expensive catalytic converters

In addition to conventional converters, there are also premium catalysts, which influence their cost. For example, such brands as Mustang, Lamborgini, and Ferrari belong to the premium segment, the price of which is reflected according to their manufacturer. However the cost of catalytic converters is not entirely affected by its manufacturer or the car brand, but the quantity of Platinum Palladium and Rhodium contained inside matter.

To understand what kind of catalytic converter you have, go to Car Brands where you will find a scrap catalytic converter price list to get an idea of the estimated cost of your equipment and what is the demand for it.

Conclusion

The catalytic cost is formed by the amount of Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium contained in the converter honeycomb taking into account the precious metal exchange as well. All this is accompanied by a catalytic recycling to extract precious metals. On the AutoCatalystMarket, you will find current prices and offers from catalytic converter buyers near you who will recycle your catalytic converter in Zambia. This approach is the way of disposal that will save you money on the new purchase.
