Catalytic Converter Platinum/Palladium Recovery, Part 3

3rd part of the PGM series (there will be a few more). In this video I try to purify the salts I precipitated in the last video. But it turns out that the salts just might not be what they should be. Not gonna stop here though, will try different methods of PGM recovery until I have Pt, Pl and Rh in my hand :)

Because of the coronavirus quarantine and state of emergency, I'm not able to make/post any videos before the end of May (maybe even before mid June).

Stay healthy and strong!

The hard part would be seperating the 3 metals after you got all the metal out. I always wondered if you can freeze it out, some metals and things will react when having it frozen out, but to do that the catalytic material would need to be ground up into powder which should have been done here too IMO

Part 4 should be up with this week. Finally can see some results 👍

Use copper to get it to stick to the copper sand, or another sand with similar melting temps

Kind of a mess you ended up with. Why use zinc to drop pgms? That lets the iron drop wiith the pgms. Try copper. It would drop Au, Ag and pgms while leaving iron and Nicole in solution.

hi!!! in part 1 i think u measured 3.6 kg of catalytic materials. How much palladium can u get from 3.6 kg and as it will also contain different components such as platinum & others, does the end palladium has any value just as the pure one?
