Platinum
Silver is not an element found in catalytic converters. You can find platinum, which serves as a catalyst.
NO! Catalytic converters contain platinum which is used as a catalyst in many different chemical reactions.
Catalytic converters are made of platinum-iridium catalyst or a ceramic monolith
Platinum can be extracted from catalytic converters by first crushing the converters to a fine powder. Then, the powder is mixed with a strong acid to dissolve the platinum. The platinum is then separated from the acid solution using chemical processes, such as precipitation or electrolysis.
Catalytic converters contain platinum because platinum is a catalyst that helps convert harmful pollutants in vehicle emissions into less harmful substances, reducing air pollution.

Platinum is used in jewelry, chemotherapy, and catalytic converters.
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.
