Uses of spent catalytic cracking catalysts
Thread Content
As the title suggests, experts: are there any other uses for the spent catalysts in your facilities? Is there really no other use for this material besides being landfilled?
I don’t know exactly how to use it, but it can only be handled by companies with the necessary qualifications; it’s illegal to dispose of it oneself if one doesn’t have such qualifications. . .
Good balancing agents can be recovered and reused as reviving agents after processing. If their quality is very poor, it is necessary to seek a qualified company to handle them; it is illegal to dispose of them by landfilling if one does not have the necessary qualifications. .
All of this is hazardous waste; it must be recycled by a qualified manufacturer! I don’t know if it’s of any use either; it’s all sent to the solid waste processing center!
It is illegal to bury them; moreover, since we live on Earth, we need to take care of ourselves. There are specialized, qualified manufacturers for handling catalysts; they have other uses as well, and some of them are not used for extracting heavy metals ； Some go back to revive the catalyst.
Qualified waste treatment companies would like to remind everyone to pay attention to this: if third parties fail to handle waste materials in accordance with environmental protection laws, especially wastewater and solid waste, we will also be held jointly liable.
It cannot be buried; it is considered hazardous waste, and it requires to be processed by manufacturers with the appropriate qualifications. It has other uses; some of it is taken back for the extraction of heavy metals ； Some are sent back to revive the catalysts, serving as revival balancers.
The waste catalyst likely refers to the catalyst after tri-rotation recovery; normally, catalyst removal and addition are carried out mainly to adjust the catalyst’s activity. The poster is probably referring to the catalyst for removing residues, which is generally used as a balancing agent and reviving agent at the start of new operations.
Thanks for sharing~~~~~~~ There are so many experts
I’ve heard of people being forced to work making bricks, but I’ve never seen it with my own eyes. Usually, waste catalysts are recycled by catalyst manufacturers and reused by being mixed into new catalysts
