June 21, 2014Q. Hello sir, myself Vivek. Sir, if we add sodium formate in aqua regia on hot plate, palladium is precipitated or not? Sir please help me.

A. You'll have to eliminate the nitric acid from the Pd aqua regia solution before precipitating the red Pd salt with sodium chlorate. This is usually done by evaporating the solution to a syrup, then adding a small amount of HCl. This is repeated until all the nitric acid has been removed, usually 3 times. While evaporating, use low heat towards the end or the solution will splatter.

A. Vivek,
I apologize. I thought you said sodium chlorate instead of sodium formate. Using sodium chlorate is the most common way of dropping Pd. I haven't used sodium formate, but I would think you would still have to remove the nitric first. I may be wrong.

A. Dear vivek Vig,
Palladium dissolves in nitric acid, no need of aqua regia.

A. Use dimethyl glyoxime or hypophospurus acid for palladium precipitation.

? Hi Mehtab. Can you please try your best to phrase your question in terms of the answers already provided? I don't know much about that subject, but it looks like you are re-asking a question that has already been repeatedly answered in pretty good detail more than half a dozen times already. Please try to tell us what you are not understanding. Thanks.

A. Hi mehtab.
You have a metal mixture of palladium (Pd), copper (Cu) & silver (Ag). All these dissolve in nitric acid, so dissolve it in nitric acid and then recover it from liquid giving preference to which metal is more in your mixture.

Q. I have a colloid solution red in colour with platinum nanoparticles in it at 40%. I want to get the platinum out; I need an answer in laymans terms -- some say it's not complicated, others say its dangerous. Help is needed please.

A. Dear shaun,
If possible, you first concentrate your red colour solution nearly half in quantity by volume. Check the pH, add slowly saturated solution of ammonium chloride in it. You will get yellow precipitate of platinum sponge.

Q. Hi, thanks. When you say concentrate I assume you mean heat it up so some of it boils away -- how do I find the pH of what's left? This yellow sponge. Do I then heat this up and turn it into a platinum ingot

A. Dear Shaun,
You have a solution which contains Pt. You heat this solution nearly half meaning if you have 4 liter solution, concentrate by boiling & make up to 2 liters. Then using ph paper sheet you check whether pH is acidic or not. Then add ammonium chloride in it to get yellow precipitate of platinum sponge.

Q. Hi bhupesh, thanks. Great. Now I have a platinum sponge can I put this in a crucible and melt it into a button?

A. Dear shaun,
Put all the yellow ppt in porcelain crucible; burn it at around 850 to 900 °C. It becomes like a gray ash. Then melt that gray powder in ceramic crucible at around 1850-1900 °C; you will get pure platinum.

Q. I have platinum soil mixed with copper dust; I'd like to know what method or acids must I use to separate these two?

Q. I was having some amount of palladium on carbon 10% powder and I wanted to take palladium out of carbon powder so I made aqua Regia solution with HCl and HNO3 at ratio of 3:1 and put the palladium carbon powder in my aqua Regia solution and boiled it for 30 mins and more and after filtration I got very dark brown or dark red solution and I tried to precipitate palladium with the help of sodium metabisulphite, but it doesn't work and my solution is still in same color and it's been 2 days I have kept it in a borosil beaker.
So please anyone experience person who can suggest me that how can I precipitate palladium out of my aqua Regia solution with which other types of chemicals and how?
Please anyone help me, your kind suggestions will be appreciated by my side.
Thanks and regards

A. Hi Imran,
I have an answer to your questions. You can use DMG or H3PO4 to precipitate palladium.

Q. Hi my name is Mark; I'm a small miner in Arizona and have achieved a separation of palladium and have converted it to palladium oxide at 1800 °F and now I'm trying to smelt in my induction furnace but cannot achieve above 400 °F with the oxide. The induction furnace will achieve 3800 °F according to manufacturer. I've seen the process done on youtube but they don't show how they started the melting process, just kept adding more oxide into the melt. Does anyone have knowledge of why the furnace is not harmonized for the oxide?

A. Hi, mark,
for melting palladium sponge you have to add a small amount of palladium metal before melting process, then slowly add your palladium sponge.

Q. Dear Sirs,
I have palladium-nickel alloy rejects from which we wish to reclaim the palladium with chemical precipitation. Could you kindly advise. Thank you.

Q. I have PT-PD alloy of prop. 925-75. To recover both metals I am doing aqua regia and then concentrating with HCl to remove nitric, then adding ammonium chloride to precipitate platinum sponge. Then calcining the sponge and melting.
The final metal consists 0.25% PD.
what can I do to remove this content at initial stage?

A. Hi armaan,
How did you detect 0.25% Pd still remains? Which assay did you do?
Pd ppt using DMG complex formation.
Thanks

Q. Hi Bhupesh,
I do XRF to check the same.
I doubt if ammonium chloride is precipitating some palladium or XRF is interpreting something false.
From my PT-PD mix dust I have to refine 3 times to get pure PT because every time I get a small proportion of PD in refined PT.
