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.
Removing platinum from a catalytic converter involves a process called "decanning," where the converter is cut open and the platinum is extracted using specialized equipment. This process requires expertise and should only be done by professionals to ensure safety and proper handling of the valuable metal.
One effective method to remove platinum from catalytic converters is through a process called smelting. This involves heating the catalytic converter to high temperatures to separate the platinum from other materials. The platinum can then be extracted and purified for reuse or resale.

Catalytic converter has platinum in it
I'm not sure about rhodium, but i know that catalytic converters with platinum contain about 3-7 grams of platinum per converter.
Yes
Actually it is not the muffler that contains platinum it is the catalytic converter. The catalytic converter (or "cat" as muffler shops and mechanic's call them) is usually in front of the muffler.
Platinum is used as the catalyst in a catalytic converter, because this is a precious metal they can be very expensive.
Platinum in a catalytic converter is an element. It is a noble metal that acts as a catalyst in the converter to facilitate chemical reactions that convert harmful pollutants in exhaust gases into less harmful substances.
