Metal & Catalyst Resources sells Molybdenum (Mo) products for chemical,
chemical catalyst, and metallurgical use.
MCR's Molybdenum products take the form of:
The actual
compositions of these products vary based on client needs and end-use
applications. Please contact MCR's
Commercial Department to discuss your specific needs.
MCR is also a seller of inert ceramic beads, or diluent (sized 5mm or
6mm in diameter), that are often mixed with Mo bearing catalysts.
These beads are separated from spent catalyst, and are then washed,
cleaned, and dried. The beads can then be reused and mixed with
fresh Mo bearing catalyst.

Metal & Catalyst Resources is a buyer of most types of spent Molybdenum catalyst and Mo residues.
Typical Refining catalysts, such as hydrotreating and
hydrodesulfurization catalysts, contain from 3% to 20% Molybdenum.
These refining catalysts are classified as hazardous waste in the United
States (K-171, K-172) and many other countries. For
this reason, MCR only works with processing facilities that are legally and
environmentally allowed to import, process, and consume these manifested
wastes. In these facilities, the Mo content of the catalyst is
reclaimed, along with some other contained metals such as Nickel,
Vanadium, and Cobalt.
There are additional forms of Molybdenum catalyst that contain from 20%
to 52% Mo (as well as, in some cases, Cobalt, Bismuth, Tungsten, Nickel,
Vanadium, etc.) All of these catalysts are recyclable. MCR acts as agent for a
major manufacturer of one form of these catalysts, separates the inerts mixed with
the catalyst for resale or for return to the catalyst user, and recovers
the Mo for manufacture of Mo salts or alloys.
Along with Mo bearing catalyst, MCR purchases numerous types of
Molybdenum residues, with widely varying compositions.

recycling needs. |
