Recycling Plants
The materials that we recycle are subjected to thermal treatment to remove oil and other impurities. Handling – breaking, sieving, and mixing – can be applied to some materials prior to thermal treatment to maximize the impact of roasting. Some materials are blended at this point to match production specifications. Roasted materials are refined at melting or leaching plants, and these are turned into alloys or oxides.

Metal
MOXBA handles both base and precious metals. We are particularly competitive in recycling the following Non-ferrous metals:
- Molybdenum – Mo
- Nickel – Ni
- Cobalt – Co
- Vanadium – V
- Copper – Cu
- Tungsten – W
- Zinc – Zn
- Precious Metals – Pd, Pt, Ag, Au
Spent Catalyst
Processing HDS* – NiMo/CoMo – and HDM** – NiMoV – types of catalysts is our core expertise.
* HDS = hydrodesulfurization
** HDM = hydrodemetallization
Residues
Filter cakes, filter dust, ashes, slags, and sludges.
