A small rag or cup can be used to gather the removed titanium pieces. This can take quite awhile on some of the larger, more expensive catalytic converter models with large amounts of both catalyst material and titanium coating.
Entire Emigration of a catalytic converter from a vehicle allows manifest access to its inner catalyst material--the any that contains the titanium pieces. After removing the titanium pieces (along with the catalyst data), the catalytic converter is no longer legal for vehicle call and must be discarded.
Removal of Catalyst Material
After removing a catalytic converter from a vehicle, the closest system toward removing the inner titanium pieces is to remove the catalytic converter's catalyst data that's located bottomless inside the converter. These catalyst pieces, which bad eye also congruous to little pieces of charcoal, are the parts of a catalytic converter that burn the unburned exhaust gases as exhaust flows concluded a catalytic converter. These pieces can be removed simply by standing the catalytic converter lengthwise up--one open end facing up, the other end facing the ground--and tapping and pounding on the raised end until the catalyst pieces start to fall out of the bottom end. This process normally takes only a few minutes to retrieve all the pieces.
Manual Removal of Titanium Pieces
After the catalytic converter catalyst material has been removed from inside, the titanium--which is used as a coating on the catalyst material--can easily be removed. The titanium normally appears as a silvery bronze coating atop the catalyst pieces. It can be scraped and/or gouged off each individual titanium piece by using a small knife, spoon or small instrument.
