Zinc industry
Umicore Precious Metals Refining offers valuable recovery services to the zinc industry. Typically, primary the zinc industry is concentrating their valuable ‘minor-metals’ such as Ag, Pb and Cu into saleable by-products. These by-products from the zinc industry are globally sourced by Umicore to recover the valuable metals. Typical products...
Market Segments
Platinum based catalyst gauzes have been in use ever since ammonia is catalytically oxidized to yield either nitric acid or hydrogen cyanide. Therefore they are required in two main industrial processes: Andrussow process and Ostwald process. Both processes do convert ammonia (NH3) into precursors dedicated for a wide range of uses in several...
Process
Manufacturing of Nitric Acid HNO3 Step 1: Catalytic oxidation of ammonia: Synthesis of NO by means of PtRh catalyst gauzes: 4 NH3 + 5 O2 ⇒ 4 NO + 6 H2O Formation of N2O is a side reaction that can’t be completely avoided: 4 NH3 + 4 O2 ⇒ 2 N2O + 6 H2O Temperatures of about 800 to 950°C Pressure in the range between 1 and 15 bar...
Short Wave Pass Infrared Filters
Short Wave Pass (SWP) Infrared Filters are designed to achieve efficient separation of adjacent spectral bands in the infrared spectrum. The cut-off edge of the filter may be located between 0.85µm and 13µm. Example of SWP IR Filter Spectral Transmission Graph Umicore has a wide range of off-the-shelf IR Filter...
Long Wave Pass Infrared Filters
Long Wave Pass (LWP) Infrared Filters are designed to achieve efficient separation of adjacent spectral bands in the infrared spectrum. The cut-on edge of the filter may be located between 0.85µm and 11µm. Example of LWP IR Filter Spectral Transmission Graph Umicore has a wide range of off-the-shelf IR Filter designs...
