Mark Short FYI, you can freeze the water out of 3% peroxide and concentrate it all the way to 30%. Get a pop bottle and freeze it until it's a slush. Put the bottle in the refrigerator and invert over a container. The concentrated peroxide will slowly drip off the mass of ice crystals over the next hour or so, while the neck retains the ice. Repeat several times until you get to 30%. Alternatively, you can leave an open plastic bin full of peroxide in the closet for a few weeks and the water will preferentially evaporate. You'd be surprised how concentrated it can get. Peroxide can be made by electrolysis of ice cold dilute sulfuric acid solution or ammonium sulfate with non catalytic anode material(usually carbon), which is then distilled off under vacuum.

If Ag is present in the alloy all 3 metals will be attacked by nitric acid alone. PGMs tend to follow Ag as well as each other . The extent to Pt dissolution depends on several reaction conditions. There is a lot of scientific literature on this phenomenon. Google "platinum silver nitric acid" and check the first result.

@spiderdude2099

@@darrentoh9976 yeah...unfortunately platinum and palladium are NOTORIOUS for being able to be dissolved by nitric acid when alloyed together with silver or other platinum group metals. For example, a bar of 92% platinum and 8% silver will be dissolved by just nitric acid. It’s basically acting as the solid metal alloy version of an azeotrope. There are many others that exists that have a similar effect. I’d be willing to bet that a palladium/platinum alloy would suffer the same effect. Also, unless you’re working with known and verified pure 99.999% pure platinum or higher, many platinum sources and ores often have silver and other PGMs follow them through the refining process even when no silver is expected or known about in the sample, there’s usually always some there. You have to go through more rigorous chemical refining to deal with it.

You can quantitatively precipitated Pd with dimethylglyoxime in acidic pH. Dissolve the DMG with NaOH then add to the Pd solution. Works well removing Pd contamination from Pt or other PGM

Evaporate it down to 50% of its volume, add a few crystals of sodium chlorate followed by a few milliliters of saturated potassium chloride salt solution. This forms a beautiful red Potassium hexachloropalladate (K2(PdCl6)). There are several other ways as well. Since NR has a known pure Pd solution he could simply add Dimethylglyoxime to precipitate the Pd as a fluffy yellow mass. This complex can then be calcined to yield Pd metal. I've never tried it, but supposedly CO (carbon monoxide) will precipitate the metal directly.

Curious if the less attacking solution (H2O2) might have "softened it up" for the nitric acid to do a better job. Maybe providing some nucleation sites.

Pd is my favorite element. Nitric parting to separate Pd from Pt is a common practice for refining, especially with finely divided PGM Black Powder, however, it's not 100% effective since PGMs seem to follow eachother in solution through the process.

@DehimVerveen

3 жыл бұрын

Palladium is also my favorite element as it's the only element of which the number of electron shells is less than the element before it. As such it's the only period 5 element with only 4 electron shells (in its atomic configuration). Technetium is also a pretty cool element as it's very light, yet no stable isotope exists.

You should use it to make a through hole activator, and then make some double sided PCBs with plated through holes.

Just started watching. My bets are on.. Electrolysis!! (Followed by Aqua Regia)

To answer your question, yes using Nitric acid is a way to remove palladium from platinum. Kind of like inquarting gold with silver or copper, the platinum content can’t be too high, but if you have Pt group metals it is best to put it all in Nitric acid first to remove palladium (or other base metals if present). Then decant off the solution, and you should just be left with other Pt group metals like platinum, osmium, iridium, etc and possibly gold if there was any. Then dissolve the rest in aqua regia. And after that only very resistant metals like osmium, iridium and rhenium should be left.

In theory if you used hot dilute nitric acid and dissolved the Pd until no more would go into solution, I'd assume you could cement it out on copper just like you can silver. If you had Pt that was alloyed with other metals. You might be able to inquart it with Pd to dissolve out those other metals if all of them were able to be dissolved by nitric acid. Silver might work though just as it does with gold refining. Those would be some expensive experiments if they messed up though.

Future video idea. Recycling old plastics by vaporizing it and turning it back into a liquid to a basic chain sequence.
