STB-011 Catalyst Recovery

This technical brief discusses the importance of catalyst recovery in various chemical applications. It emphasizes the need for efficient recovery methods and introduces crossflow filter technologies, particularly SCEPTER stainless and ceramic composite micro- and ultrafiltration products.

Catalysts play a crucial role in various chemical applications, with valuable metals like platinum and palladium being commonly used to speed up reactions. Recovering these catalysts for reuse is essential for cost-effectiveness. Traditional recovery methods can be labor-intensive and inefficient, leading to significant catalyst loss. Crossflow filter technologies, such as Tangential flow filtration (TFF), offer a highly effective solution by continuously circulating the catalyst-containing liquid across a membrane surface, allowing for better recovery rates and prolonged operation. These systems often use polymeric membranes but in challenging environments, more robust technologies like the SCEPTER® stainless and ceramic composite micro- and ultrafiltration products are required. These membranes are durable and adaptable to various system configurations, ensuring high levels of product recovery and cost-effectiveness in catalyst recovery processes. Key highlights of the text include:

  • Catalysts are essential in chemical applications
  • Valuable metals like platinum and palladium are commonly used
  • Recovery of catalysts is crucial for cost-effectiveness
  • Crossflow filter technologies, such as TFF, offer efficient recovery
  • SCEPTER® membranes are robust and adaptable
