Abstract

Recycling of spent autocatalyst that includes the platinum group metals (PGMs), namely palladium, platinum and rhodium, is a very profitable endeavor. In order to ensure an efficient promotion of an appropriate policy-making and the technical development of the recycling process of spent autocatalyst in Korea, the generated amount, trading conditions, and recycling technology for spent autocatalyst were surveyed. The generated amount of spent autocatalyst was estimated by analyzing the domestic statistical data of registration & disuse of automobiles and the records of autocatalyst installation to new cars. The review of the recycling technology was carried out by surveying the recycling processes of 'Heesung PMTech Ltd.', which is the largest company in the recycling industry for spent autocatalyst in Korea. In addition to the above, some policy suggestions for the improvement of recycling industries for spent autocatalyst were offered.

백금족 귀금속이 함유된 자동차 폐촉매는 경제적 가치 및 귀금속 확보 측면에서 재활용의 중요성이 매우 높은 순환자원 이다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 발생하고 있는 자동차 폐촉매의 재활용과 관련된 정책수립 및 기술개발의 효율적 추진을 위하여 자동차 폐촉매 발생량, 유통현황, 재활용 기술 및 재활용 산업 현황을 조사하였다. 자동차 폐촉매 발생량은 자동차 등록 및 폐차 통계와 신차(新車)에 대한 촉매 장착 이력 등을 분석하여 추정하였다. 재활용 기술 및 산업 현황은 국내 최대 자동차 폐촉매 재활용 기업인 (주)희성피엠텍의 재활용 공정 및 현황을 중심으로 조사하였다. 더불어 자동차 폐촉매 재활용 산업의 활성화를 위한 제도적 개선 방안도 제시하였다.
