The growing increase in the use of cars and transportation in general is causing an increase the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere. The current European Union regulations impose the minimization of pollution through the use of automotive catalytic converters on all member countries, which stops toxic compounds from being emitted into the atmosphere thanks to their contents of platinum group metals (PGMs). However, the growing demand for cars and the simultaneous demand for catalytic converters is contributing to the depletion of the primary sources of PGMs. This is why there is now increasing interest in recycling PGMs from catalytic converters through constantly developing technologies. There are newer and more sustainable solutions for the recovery of PGMs from catalytic converters, making the process part of a circular economy (CE) model. The purpose of this article is to present two innovative methods of PGM recovery in the framework of ongoing research and development projects.

Rosnący wzrost wykorzystania samochodów i generalnie środków transportu przyczynia się do emisji zanieczyszczeń do atmosfery. Obecne przepisy UE narzucają na wszystkie kraje członkowskie minimalizacje zanieczyszczeń poprzez stosowanie katalizatorów samochodowych, które dzięki zawartości metali z grupy platynowców (PGM) zatrzymują toksyczne związki przed emisji do atmosfery. Jednak rosnący popyt na samochody i jednoczesny popyt na katalizatory przyczynia się do zubożania pierwotnych źródeł pozyskiwania PGM. Dlatego też obecnie coraz więcej mówi się o recyklingu PGM z katalizatorów poprzez ciągle rozwijające się technologie. Powstają coraz nowsze, bardziej zrównoważone rozwiązania odzysku PGM z katalizatorów, dzięki czemu proces ten wpisuje się w model gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym (CE). Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie dwóch innowacyjnych metod odzysku PGM w ramach prowadzonych obecnie projektów badawczo-rozwojowych.

Combustion engines are the main driving force of passenger cars, trucks or buses. Engines burn fuels, and as a side effect, release many pollutions to the atmosphere. Car manufacturers had been aware of a need of lowering the amount of exhaust fumes. This brought on the market the first catalytic converters. Nowadays automobile catalyst manufacturing is the largest sector of demand of PGMs (mainly platinum, palladium and rhodium), and unfortunately consumption and future demand of there critical metals is getting higher. Over the past two decades, most countries around the world have developed and implement solutions that would minimize the impact of the growing number of cars on the environment. One solution contributing to this is the organisation of an end-of-life car collection and recycling network, which is now an integral part of automotive industry. The main drivers for the development of such network were stricter environmental regulations and economic conditions. The development of recycling is also becoming more popular in Poland. However, catalyst recycling system is still not transparent to all stakeholders. Due to the huge variety of catalysts and their different structure and composition of elements from the PGMs group, the valuation of their price before they are recycled is not obvious. This raises a lot of controversy and does not inspire trust among those who recycle their catalysts. The aim of this work is to show how the management of used catalytic converters looks like in Poland and how developed is network of catalysts recycling in Poland. At the same time this will show how important it is in terms of a circular economy and the recovery of valuable raw materials from a group of PGMs.
