    catalytic converter honeycomb refining

    I have 700 pounds of loose catalyst ive been accumulating. Now that platinum is back up i am looking to sell. Ive talked with a few refiners so far. The one i am getting the best feeling about is recycalytics. Ive called them and talked with them, it sounds like a good solid company. I was wondering if anyone else here has used them or what they recommend? Also what kind of payout am i looking at by sending to a refiner. I can sell this stuff all day long on ebay for $25 per pound.

    Here's what I was able to find on it, he did a lot of homework as far as checking out refiners.

    Funny...

    I have seen Ruthenium in catalytic assays, not sure what it was intended use was, but I have seen it. Of course it's just another Platinum group metal, and not radioactive.
