There are special facilities for catalyst recycling. The effort of getting platinum out of a catalyst isn't worth it due to the low quantity and hazardous for health due to the high toxicity of platinum under the conditions that the catalyst has undergone.
One can effectively remove platinum from a catalytic converter by using a process called smelting, which involves heating the converter to high temperatures to separate the platinum from other materials. This method allows for the extraction of the valuable platinum for recycling or resale.
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.

Catalytic converter has platinum in it
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.
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 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.
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.
