CATPRO · Brazil

Brazilian precious-metal residues, screened and sourced.

Brazil is a large, fragmented and under-tested source of precious-metal-bearing residues. We help international buyers identify, screen and validate opportunities locally — automotive and industrial spent catalysts, pharmaceutical filter residues, e-waste, mining lots.

Submit a lot or sample →For international buyers

/ Verticals

Materials we screen, source and structure.

Automotive catalyst

Flex (Pd/Rh), light diesel (Pt), DPF — sourcing from Brazilian workshops, scrap yards and dismantlers.

Industrial / petrochemical

Refining, petrochemical, fine chemistry. Pt, Pd, Ni, Mo, V, Co, W, Re fractions worth screening.

Filter residues / black powder

Cartridges, cakes, sludges that may retain Pd/Pt/Rh. Test before disposal.

XRF & ICP-MS

Fast triage in-house. Confirmatory ICP-MS, ICP-OES or fire assay via partner labs.

Mining due diligence

Field verification and sampling coordination for mining offers, concentrates, tailings.

E-waste (selective)

Boards, connectors, telecom and datacenter lots with analyzable Au/Ag/Pd/Cu fraction.

International partner

For refiners, traders, recyclers and funds without local presence in Brazil.

/ Services

Local sourcing, screening, sampling, validation.

XRF screening

In-house Elvatech XRF for fast triage of catalysts, residues and metallic lots.

Sampling

Documented physical sampling with chain of custody from collection to lab.

ICP-MS / fire assay coordination

Confirmatory analysis coordinated with qualified partner laboratories. Not done in-house.

Sourcing

Identification and prospection of Brazilian suppliers matching your material profile.

Supplier validation

Field verification, photos, basic documentary review to reduce risk before purchase.

Lot consolidation

Structuring consolidated lots from fragmented sources, with traceability and aggregated assay.

Local negotiation

Portuguese-language negotiation aligned with your commercial terms.

Bilingual reporting

PT/EN reports with photos, weights, XRF readings, lab assay when applicable, operational context.

/ Why Brazil, why local

The value is often hidden in the right fraction of the lot.

Brazil generates significant volumes of automotive catalysts, spent industrial and petrochemical catalysts, pharmaceutical filter residues, e-waste and mining material. Many of these opportunities are under-tested, dispersed across small holders or disconnected from the right buyers.

Specialized recovery and refining routes for PGMs and certain metallic residues often depend on limited or international channels. That increases the value of local screening, sampling and origination — before moving expensive material across borders.

We are not a refinery. We do not perform ICP-MS in-house. What we do is technical triage, field verification, sampling coordination and structuring of lots between Brazilian suppliers and qualified buyers.

Got several photos? Send them on WhatsApp

If possible, send photos of the material, label, packaging, origin, approximate weight and any existing assay. You may use the form below (with a Drive/OneDrive/Dropbox/WeTransfer link) or send everything directly on WhatsApp.

Open WhatsApp →

Provide at least WhatsApp or email.

Before submitting, consider photographing

  • General shot of the material
  • Close-up (1–2 detail shots showing texture or ceramic)
  • Packaging, drum or container
  • Labels, stamped codes or process datasheet
  • Weight on a scale (even approximate)
  • Origin or operational context
  • Any existing assay, even informal (XRF, certificate, email)

Paste a public link with the photos. Or send them later on WhatsApp — your contact info above is enough.
