Albemarle’s High-Performance Catalysts Can Protect Customers from Soaring Rare Earth Mineral Costs
Low rare earth technology (LRT) catalysts from Albemarle offer tremendous value as prices of rare earth minerals continue to increase.
It has been shown that the cost of lanthanum oxide has been raised by approximately 1500% during last year and it is expected that the prices will keep on rising.
Albemarle has created high-performance catalysts using low amount of rare earth minerals. This could protect customers from escalating prices. LRT catalysts demonstrate Albemarle's commitment to offer economically viable catalyst solutions to its customers. These products provide greater value as prices of rare earth minerals continues to soar.
The standard series of Fluid Catalytic Cracking catalysts from Albemarle deliver top performance at some of the industry’s lowest rare earth contents. However, the LRT products have further decrease the rare earth contents by a factor of four. Catalysts and additives for the vacuum gas oil sector include AMBER LRT and GO LRT, while CORAL LRT and UPGRADER LRT are reserved for the residue market. Albemarle's BCMT-500 LRT additive improves metals tolerance and bottoms cracking.
