Product Description VK-980 Plus 3-Way Catalyst AnalyzerProduct IntroductionThe VK-980 Plus is a portable, handheld 3-way catalyst analyzer specifically designed for determining the content of platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and rhodium (Rh). Known for its lightweight, ease of portability, high precision, and high stability, this device performs non-destructive testing. The VK-980 Plus can detect Pd content in just 3 seconds, Rh in 15 seconds, and Pt in 30 seconds, delivering accurate results within 30 seconds.The device employs a German KETEK high-resolution, high-count-rate SDD detector (resolution: 129eV), an American MOXTEK 50kV variable high-voltage X-ray tube, and a Swiss stepper motor, among other imported core components. The detection limits for the VK-980 Plus are 20ppm for Pt, 10ppm for Pd, and 10ppm for Rh. For the more economical Si-Pin K-980, please inquire for detailed specifications.The VK-980 Plus offers a rapid, efficient, and cost-effective solution for elemental analysis, capable of quickly and simply detecting the content of platinum, rhodium, palladium, and other metal elements in automotive catalysts, facilitating the recycling of precious metals from these components.Automotive CatalystsAutomotive catalysts primarily contain platinum, rhodium, and palladium, essential for purifying automobile exhaust emissions. Additional elements such as cerium and zirconium can improve catalytic activity. For instance, barium can reduce nitric oxide in diesel engines, while titanium and tungsten are frequently used in truck catalysts. The internal ceramic honeycomb structure of the catalytic converter is coated with a carrier paint rich in platinum, palladium, and rhodium, with other elements sometimes added to enhance performance.Features:One-Key Power-On/Off Operation with automatic calibration, eliminating manual intervention.45-Second Start-up to Testing, with grade and data readings available in 0.8 seconds.One-Key Sample Testing with automatic timing lock and stop functions.Automatic X-ray Shutdown within 2 seconds if no sample is present in front of the test window.Determination of Pt, Pd, and Rh in 3-Way Catalytic Converters of Used AutomobilesIn recent years, the composition and value of platinum group metals (PGMs) like platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and rhodium (Rh) in three-way catalytic converters have experienced unprecedented fluctuations, significantly affecting the purchase, trade, and recycling of used three-way catalytic converters. A single catalytic converter's PGM content can vary widely, ranging from less than 100toover100toover1,000. These materials are often ground into powder and traded. Thus, businesses and recyclers need to:Identify catalytic converters or mixtures with high PGM content.Trade at fair prices.Detect counterfeit or substandard materials.Real-time determination of platinum, palladium, and rhodium content in used automotive catalytic converters is critical for maximizing profits and avoiding significant financial losses.Sample PreparationRemove the Ceramic Carrier from the three-way catalytic converter.Extract the Honeycomb Ceramic from the metal casing.Collect the Catalyst: Automotive catalysts are typically composed of a cordierite-based ceramic body coated with platinum-containing metals. The entire ceramic should be sorted, crushed, and ground, often mixed with other catalysts.For Metal-Supported Converters: Initially, crush or grind the material. Then, use a magnet or winnowing to separate the metal components and the coating powder containing precious metals. The PGM content in the coating of metal-supported converters is generally higher due to enrichment compared to ceramic converters.Grind the Material to a particle size of less than 250μm, then place it in an XRF sample cup for analysis on a test stand.Technical Specifications ParameterSpecificationDetectorKETEK ultra-large SDD detector (resolution: <129eV), Peltier effect semiconductor cooling system, suitable for simultaneous data and spectrum recording.Excitation SourceMoxtek high-power micro X-ray tube, W target material, 4W high-power X-ray tube, variable voltage tube (50KV), tube current up to 200μA.Calculation MethodAlloy KMX 8.0 and FP-EC calculation methods.
