2The project Palladio use an innovative method for
a highly selective recovery of metals
In collaboration with the research Group of Professor Paola Deplano (University of Cagliari) we have found an innovative method, environmental friendly, for recovery
& recycling of precious metals ( Palladium and Platinum) from spent catalytic converters.
