Dirty diesel? The reality is that diesel vehicles, which typically power larger vehicles such as trucks and construction vehicles, traditionally got a very bad wrap as pollutants.

However modern diesel cars represent a new generation of vehicles with emission control technology that converts up to 99% of combustion engine exhaust pollutants (hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides, carbon monoxide and particulate matter). These improved vehicles have helped the EU in achieving their sustainability goals.

Key to the improvements is the use of precious metals in the diesel particulate filters (DPF) and catalytic converters which have been created to further reduce emissions.

"Today modern diesel cars on average have a 15% lower carbon emissions per kilometer than the equivalent gas-powered vehicles."

The role of the catalytic converters is to take the noxious gases from the engine and neutralise its effects by turning these harmful chemicals into inert compounds via a series of chemical reactions. Catalysts are used to speed up these chemical reactions. In the case of diesel-engine vehicles, the catalysts that are used include platinum and palladium.




Over the years, increased environmental stringencies has led to improvements in the vehicle exhaust systems which has necessitated increased usage of precious metals. Today a typical diesel engine catalytic converter uses around 7 grams of platinum and 5 grams of palladium.

Mineworx’s proprietary technology is focused on extracting these precious metals from spent catalytic converters and selling the platinum and palladium back to the market. In this way, Mineworx helps improve the pollution caused by the pile-up of old converters while advancing the circular economy.


About Mineworx Technologies

Mineworx is positioned for growth in the catalytic converter and mining sectors through the development and commercialization of its proprietary, environmentally friendly processing technologies for the recovery of precious metals. Mineworx’s initial focus is concentrated on the extraction of platinum and palladium from diesel catalytic converters with its partner Davis Recycling and will be building its first commercial extraction facility in Tennessee, USA. The company is also furthering the development of its legacy mining project, the Cehegin Iron Ore Mining Project, a brownfield iron ore concession which it holds a 100% interest in South-Eastern Spain.
