Catalytic converters are made of a metal cylindrum containing a ceramic piece in its core. The ceramic monolith has a honeycomb structure which contains the valuable metals, including copper, nickel, cerium, iron and manganese. Small amounts of rhodium are also found within a catalytic converter.Click to see full answer. In this regard, what vehicles have the most valuable catalytic converters?The next most expensive catalytic converter is a bit closer to home. The Dodge Ram 2500 comes in at $3,460.00. The Ford F250 (similar to the Dodge 2500 in terms of towing and strength) is a mere $2,804.Similarly, what is inside of a catalytic converter? The inside of the catalytic converter is a honeycomb set of passageways or small ceramic beads coated with catalysts. A chemical reaction takes place to make the pollutants less harmful. Reduction catalysts: Palladium and rhodium (Rh) metals also in very small amounts convert the nitrogen oxide to nitrogen and oxygen. Also to know, how much precious metal is in a catalytic converter? There are between 3-7 grams of platinum group metals in a standard catalytic converter, but the amount varies based on manufacturer and model. Keep in mind that the minimum lot size we accept for smelting and refining is 500 catalytic converters or 1000 pounds of loose catalyst.How much gold is in a catalytic converter?Catalytic converters contain Platinum, Rhodium and Palladium. However, there is no gold in catalytic converters. Content will vary significantly depending on the vehicle model, but on average the ceramic weight is approximately just less than 1 kg, and the precious metal content is between 0,2% and 0,5%.
