Platinum is extracted from a catalytic converter by first removing the converter from the vehicle. The converter is then crushed and heated to high temperatures to burn off any organic materials. The remaining material is then treated with chemicals to dissolve the platinum, which can then be separated and purified.
It is illegal to remove the catalytic converter from any vehicle.
It is illegal to remove a catalytic converter from any road vehicle.
The main usage of a MagnaFlow Catalytic Converter or any other catalytic converter is commonly the reduction of toxic emissions in the exhaust systems in cars.
On any vehicle that came from the factory with a converter installed.
This does not seem to be the cause of a bad catalytic converter. A converter is there to convert harmful toxins into harmful ones and you will know if it goes bad if your gas mileage suddenly worsens or your RPGs are going up but the car does not go any faster. If your car is sounding funny and has an odd smell, then it might be something to do with the heater core.
To extract platinum from a catalytic converter, the converter must be crushed and then heated to a high temperature to burn off any organic materials. The remaining material is then treated with chemicals to separate the platinum from other metals. The platinum can then be further refined through a process called electrolysis to obtain pure platinum.
Yes, it is illegal to operate any vehicle that came equipped with a catalytic converter from the factory with it removed.
To extract precious metals from a catalytic converter, the converter is first crushed into small pieces. These pieces are then heated to high temperatures to burn off any organic materials. Next, the remaining metal is dissolved in acid to separate the precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium. These metals are then further processed and purified for reuse.
Absolutely not. The fumes released from any engine can be deadly without a catalytic converter and severely harm the environment no matter how efficient the engine is and no car can legally not use a catalytic converter.
No, it is illegal to remove a catalytic converter from any vehicle unless you replace it with another one.
I'm pretty sure that all gasoline or diesel powered vehicles in the U.S are required to have a catalytic converter. Yes, it is illegal to remove a catalytic converter in any state.
