Spent Nickel Catalyst Recycling
Suhans Chemicals applies its expertise in hydrometallurgy to recover nickel sulphate from spent hydrogenation catalysts used in oils, fats and oleochemical processing.
Through structured recovery processes, valuable nickel content is reclaimed and reintroduced into the supply chain, supporting resource efficiency and reducing reliance on primary nickel extraction.
Our recycling approach contributes to lowering the environmental impact associated with nickel mining while ensuring responsible catalyst lifecycle management.
Technical Support
Suhans Chemicals provides technical support aligned with industrial hydrogenation requirements across oils, fats and oleochemical processing.
Support Includes:
Catalyst selection based on application and feedstock characteristics
