More than ever, highly variable compositions andvolatile prices of platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and rhodium (Rh) are important factors in the purchase and recyc領(lǐng) of spent catalytic converters. In 2010, the global sales of Pt, Pd, and Rh totaled, respectively, 245, 299, and 27.2 tons. About 46% of the total Pt, 57% of the total Pd, and 77% of the total Rh were consumed by the automotive catalyst industry. That same year, 33.7 tons of Pt, 41.2 tons of Pd, and 7.3 tons of Rh were recovered from the recyc領(lǐng) of spent catalytic converters [1], representing a total value of $3 billion at the 2010 cumulative average price of fine metals. 尼通（NITON）XL5手持式合金分析儀
