PALLADIUM Documentary: Mining, Science and History

As one of the key platinum group metals, palladium is a highly prized commodity. It commands more monetary value than gold and is 30 times as rare, with industrial demand outstripping supply for the last decade.

Palladium plays a vital role in reducing harmful emissions and is the premiere choice for hybrid electric vehicle exhaust systems, making it an essential component of the new green economy.

In the world of jewelry, palladium’s unique properties make it ideal in the creation of white gold and its ability to absorb 900 times its volume in hydrogen makes it invaluable in the field of chemistry.

In this palladium documentary, we seek to clear the air and provide the facts on one of the most vital platinum group metals.

As someone who does back yard refining I can say from first hand experience that Palladium is a true PITA to recover and refine. I'm actually shocked it is as cheap as it is. I would honestly expect it to be 4-5X more expensive. But it is a beautiful metal and my 2nd favourite right behind silver.

A great video btw. I do hope you contacted Sreetips to advise you were going to use a clip from his channel. The guy does a LOT of hard work and deserve the credit.

last year it was worth 3k, I had 2 ounze of palladium and sold it. One of the best investments i made. I bought it for 1300 both of them years ago.

Excellent video. This is the main metal mines where I work. Lac Des Iles mine is one if not the only mine where palladium is the major metal mined. Cheers!

My new favorite channel! Thanks for the golden nuggets of information! I think the universe is pointing me in a specific direction.
Between my newfound interest in sound money, recently being hired by a geologist, and finding this channel, the pieces are falling into place. I'm excited to build my knowledge at the beginning of a commodity super cycle.

Ha! Pd was really cheap in the 1960’s with little industrial use. So my college ring is 1.5 oz of Palladium.

I hope you keep making these sort of videos! Copper might be a good topic.

Yet another fantastic video. Educational value to anyone. Keep'em coming.

One of the biggest application palladium is in catalysis, which has been extensively used pharmaceutical industry and other industries including bulk, commodity chemicals and agrochemicals. Due to this 2010 Chemistry Nobel Prize was awarded for palladium catalysis (Prof. Negishi, Prof. Suzuki and Prof. Heck). It would have been great if the speaker included this information as well.

Thanks for this Cinema worthy video! Very informative

Your voice ain’t the best for commenting, but it’s 100x better than dialogue, don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely a new sub and do appreciate the hard work you do making videos, I definitely DO NOT MEAN TO GIVE U NO DISRESPECT.

I love it when "scientists" make assumptions, skip the evidence and trust the word of an "expert".

[BeastOrGod]

Not gonna lie Wolladium would've been cool name for Palladium XD

[KingKong-lmvf]

As the electric car has been becoming popular, not sure if the price of Pd can keep a up-trend in the next decade!

[owohituciptaanmomoh]

great documentary video, accompany me dinner, thanks a lot

[spaceace]

Do you think its still worth buying Palladium...I just got a Palladium Eagle Proof 2021..the premium was insane..

[exMuteKid]

that intro has some how it's made vibes

Platinum and palladium play two completely different roles in catalytic converters. Platinum stores and releases oxygen where as palladium breaks nitrogen from no2 but it can only do so when there is a absence of free oxygen. That's why fuel control systems must cycle from rich to lean in a precise manner.

Good video!
With one exception - questioning if electrification will fully come to pass seems quite illogical. What are the alternatives? Are you proposing humanity goes back to horses? The oil will run out so there is no alternative to electrification.
