Catalytic Converter Analysis
Catalytic Converter Analysis for Recyclers and Traders
Metralis provides catalytic converter analysis for recyclers, traders, and processors, refiners who need clear data on platinum, palladium, and rhodium content. Instead of relying on rough averages or inaccurate analysis, you get structured lab analysis that helps with buying, pricing, settlement, and recovery decisions.
We work with businesses handling prepared catalytic material, mixed lots, ceramic fractions, metallic fractions, and other PGM-bearing samples. The goal is simple: show what is really inside the material and give you numbers you can use.
Platinum
A key value metal in many catalytic streams and one of the main drivers behind commercial decisions.
Palladium
Critical for understanding converter value and lot differences.
Rhodium
Often smaller in quantity, but highly important in total value and settlement logic.
What we analyze
Prepared catalytic converter material from recycling and recovery operations.
Ceramic and metallic catalyst fractions.
Mixed catalytic lots that need comparison before pricing or settlement.
Related PGM-bearing material where platinum, palladium, and rhodium drive value.
Certifications and Accreditations
Who this is for
Catalytic converter recyclers – You need dependable analysis before you price, sort, or process converter material.
- Aggregators and traders – Clear catalytic converter analysis helps compare lot quality and reduce pricing guesswork.
- Processors – Better analysis makes it easier to plan recovery steps and understand lot potential.
- Refiners – Accurate Pt, Pd, and Rh data supports cleaner settlement and better feed evaluation.
How our analysis process works
- XRF screening – We use XRF to establish the initial PGM profile and guide the next analytical step.
- Fire Assay – This stage supports reliable precious metal isolation and strengthens the core PGM evaluation.
- ICP-OES reporting – ICP-OES is used for detailed Pt, Pd, and Rh quantification and final reporting that supports pricing, settlement, lot comparison, and processing decisions.
Why businesses choose Metralis
Focused on the metals that drive value – The work stays centered on platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which is what matters most in catalytic material.
Useful for real commercial questions – This is analysis built for recycling and refining decisions.
Strong fit for difficult lots – Mixed and uneven catalytic material is exactly where clear data matters most.
A clean B2B position – The offer is analysis, not local buying, retail service, or scrap collection

FAQ
Tell us what converter material you handle and what decision you need to make
Do you analyze catalytic converter material for platinum, palladium, and rhodium?
Yes. Catalytic converter analysis is built around the metals that usually drive value in this stream – platinum, palladium, and rhodium. The reporting is designed to support pricing, settlement, lot comparison, and recovery planning.
Can you work with ceramic and metallic catalyst fractions?
Yes. We can work with both ceramic and metallic catalyst fractions, as well as mixed catalytic lots. This helps recyclers and refiners get clearer data before deciding how to process or settle the material.
Can analysis help compare lot quality before settlement or recovery?
Yes. One of the main benefits of catalytic converter analysis is safer lot comparison. Clear Pt, Pd, and Rh data makes it easier to understand differences between lots and reduce guesswork before settlement or processing.
Is this service meant for catalytic converter recycling businesses?
Yes. This page is written for catalytic converter recyclers, refiners, processors, and traders working with prepared material. It is not meant for retail vehicle owners or local car repair enquiries.
Do you buy catalytic converters?
No. Metralis does not buy catalytic converters through this service. The focus here is laboratory analysis and reporting for businesses that already handle catalytic converter recycling material.
Do you work with international catalytic recycler clients?
Yes. We support B2B catalytic converter recycling and refining clients across different markets. The service is built for businesses that need clear analysis, not local collection or scrap buying.
