1.OZ of palladium is £2000.00 as of sept 21 , so the blob he made was worth £1000.00
what's that in U.S. dollars?
Wow, I've been saving these and the other types, big brown ones ect for some time now not knowing what to do with them. Amongst other components that were too good for regular scrap bins.
I bet I have arround 5kg of them
@@carlinshowalter1806 it's about $1250 dollars today I think
I watch this channel during meals , the videos are long and i like that , i dont have time to do any thing but eat on my breaks no time to click threw videos so i consume information as i consume my food by watching OwlTech.
This was so amateurly done but love it just shows you you don't need the high tech luxuries to do something just logic and ingenuity. Well done man!
Thank you that was the idea

WOW!!! That Palladium sure doesn't want to melt very well. Still came close to being pure. Great video!
Thanks 👍
That’s because palladium melts at 2831 F.
Burn> Ball mill to fine dust> treat dust with nitric acid> Filter and separate silver from palladium using HCl> Filter off AgCl and distil off nitric acid> Separate Pd from CuFe etc using ammonia, pd forms a complex of (NH2)PdCl2 that precipitates from the chilled solution.❤
Sounds good
You can avoid adding the lead and just dissolve the ceramic in hydrofloric acid all the silica and ceramic will dissolve in the acid leaving the palladium as a powder ! Saving a few steps
Hydrofluoric acid?? HF? Did you mean hydrochloric acid?
Using hydrofluoric acid to avoid lead is like working with wild tigers to avoid having to work with house cats because you’re afraid of cats.
It probably prevent these morons from inhaling lead vapor.
Did you try to may be use an isotope reactor to make Paladium out of other elements. Looks not so dangerous...
And probably healthier on the lungs as well
@@kjpmi Only HF will dissolve the silicates, HCl won't touch it.

Just found your channel. Really appreciate all of the work that you have put in to your videos. Subscribed.👍❤️🇬🇧
Welcome aboard!
You have a magnificent channel , the precious thing you have to offer is wisdom indeed , finer then even the gold you show us how to recover
Thanks for the kind words!
Friendly suggestions:
be sure to filter out ALL silver chloride or it will never have a shiny surface after melting.... silver contamination will be all over the surface of your metal otherwise.
Once you do the silver chloride filtering; you should be able to then add some sulfuric acid to the palladium solution to precipitate any remaining lead as lead sulfate. Filter again.
Both of these contaminants will leave that kind of surface look; almost taking away any possibility of it naturally being shiny.
Thank you for the useful information!
at what ph do you percipitate palladium? When do you add the formic acid? I can only see when you add sodium carbonate but can't see when you add the formic acid. Please tell when you add the acid. Will your palladium contain lead in the end? What if my nitric acid solution contained platinum, do I do the same way as palladium?
Great video. I believe I was snipping some mlccs just like those earlier today.
Same here 👍 its the best thing im finding on low grade boards apart from copper

wow 🤩🤩🤩 15g of this worth at least 900€!!!! good job!!!
Somehow i doubt that. mlcc capacitors have nickel electrodes or silver internally on X7R X5R NP0 (BaTiO3, etc) dielectric. Ag/Pd Ag/Pt is used only for solderable contacts (termination) where 3:1, 6:1 or even 97:3 Ag/Pd or Pt is used and it is maybe 15µm thick. if these caps have been desoldered, a good portion of the weight is also Sn or Sn/Pb. 1% noble metal of total weight is not impossible but expensive in manufacturing and higly unlikely: here is a link of a real cap :www.researchgate.net/figure/Cross-section-of-intentionally-cracked-MLSC-0805-47nF-50Volt-showing-the-crack-a_fig4_228895621 today also copper paste is used to reduce noble metal content.

"Now add your sodium hydroxide, once again, *whisking constantly.* "
God that voice makes to want me punch a smug champaigne liberal so bad
The one time I decided to melt a one troy ounce Palladium bar, i was surprised to discover the phenomenon of "spitting" whereby in the molten condition, palladium will absorb certain gasses in large amounts (Hydrogen if i recall acuratley), then upon cooling and before becoming solid, it will oclude or expel (spit) the same gaseous element.
I recall my jewelry casting texts mentioned dropping a small chunk of aluminum metal into the crucible after Palladium is completely molten and just prior to pouring into the casting mold., I believe pure sodium metal is also used for the same purpose.
The copious borax flux perhaps shields or minimized absorption of gaseous element.
But the aluminum or sodium acts insitu to react, combine with and remove the gas leaving an insoluble compound on the surface or scatred as a smoke or combustion product.
This can presumably eliminate the crater or swiss cheese apperance on palladium.
Wow thanks for the tip I'll try it next time
i believe aluminum absorbs nearby hydrogen when molten too. which is why degassing is important.
might be the same for other molten metals. which is kinda strange but cool.
them pesky hydrogen atoms....
What you mention about the absorption of Hydrogen is why Palladium electrodes are often used in LENR experiments (what used to be called "cold fusion"). After a large amount of H and Deuterium has been saturated into the surface lattice of the metal (by electrolysis), pulsed electromagnetic energy is inputted into the water bath. The added pulsed energy forces the H and its isotope deeper and deeper into the lattice compressing it, and eventually fusion happens randomly (first forming higher isotopes of H, then He). This is where the access heat seen in the experiments come from. Since Pons and Fleischmann first did it 31 years ago, over a hundred labs around the world have replicated it successfully; including the US Navy and NASA. They are both studying it now (NAVSEA Dahlgren labs, and NASA Glenn in Cleveland).
Other successful methods have used Nickel with Hydrogen.
But note the Palladium purity must be very high. A combination of that and not saturating the lattice with enough H, was why some of the first attempts failed in 1990 (M.I.T. being the most publicized) .

@@stevewindisch7400 Nice read, but scientifically not exactly flawless.

Welcome
River deposits containing gold were treated with dilute sulfuric acid, nitric and hydrochloric to get rid of impurities and iron oxides, then the sample was dissolved in royal water and urea was used to neutralize nitric acid and the gold was precipitated with hydrazine. The amount of the precipitate was good and had a brown color, in addition to the sediment that had a reddish-brown color, but when I treated the sediment with hydrochloric acid, all the precipitate disappeared and dissolved in the acid except for a very small amount that came back and sedimented. I don't know what the problem is? Does hydrazine precipitate anything other than gold, or does it only precipitate gold? How can I recover the deposit?
Thank you very much
Real liked this video! What I did not like was the 15 commercials in the short amount of time that this video took to watch.
Hello friebd did you using first sodium carbonate , and after formic acid ?

What you add at the time of Cupellation to remove copper and nickel??
lead
What do you do with the generated chemical waste?
This is a laboratory demonstration, garage work.
Does the price of the palladium produced cover the costs?
Hi, I've been collecting and starting to get into this hobbie,, would you suggest a good mask to buy for this,, nitric acid and sulfuric acid etc., can be pretty dangerous,,, would you suggest a brand name and type that would be safe for me as a beginner,,,
I'm using 3M full face 6000 series mask with 60926 cartridges
Go to a restoration store that sell masks. They do free fitting to make sure it fits/ seals around your face. Thats the most important part. Always go full face. Every mask fits differently. They will test it on you.

Jesus. Hard work to smal piece. Good video.
Thanks 👍
That “small piece” is worth $1500… money for nothin… extracted from garbage, basically.
What is with modern age blue and orange ceramic capacitors? Do they contain palladium too? I took apart 2 old 1990 thick TVs, 4 flatscreens and 2 pc screens and collected the capacitors - is it worth giving a shot or are the newer capacitors contain nothing serious
See if they are magnetic if they are chances to have PGMs are very slim
Result is not bad 🌟 👍 but I expected more from the Bulgarian bC capacitors ... Great video! 👍
yes the 100g test yielded 1.35g
@@OwlTech333 depends a lot on the size of the capacitors, so the bigger the more palladium ... in the blue ones we have decent amount of silver , too so in total not bad at all 😃
@@escrapchannel silver was about 4g when I tested the 100g capacitors so about 40g Ag /kg capacitors
Very good miner👏👏👏 98% nice
Nice recovery, that should put a few beans in the pan. Excellent demonstration of the steps in this process. But for myself I would have liked to have heard more warning statements about lead vapors, platinum poising, mixing the acids, heating acids, and the chemicals used in the recovery process. I'm not faulting the video it really is an excellent demonstration. The recording is clean and sharp all the way through, narration was well planned and sequenced, and do not fear dropping the music insert and talking more. You have a good strong voice and command of the langlish.
I share this type of video with my grand children to educate them about lab safety, chemical processing, chemical reactions excetera. I saw the disclaimer at the start of the video and it will cover any legal coverage this video might need. The only reason I mention the safety to you at all is because you just never know when the viewer's mind will click on during the video and a comment anywhere from start to end might flash through in the future and save their life. Yes yes I know it's a long shot with a slim chance of happening but... Now think about this for a minute, what if it does happen? Your interactions with youtube could save a strangers from a permanent injury or even death. You might ever learn of it but in that one small action you have made this world a better place for us all to live.
Be safe brother and thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Well said I've been looking into this for while. but I don't know the score with the chemicals so I've stuck to collecting but my plan is to refine
I would like to second this in both giving you respect and for showing the entire process, I would however like to have known the amounts of the chemicals used and I'm not sure when you added the formic acid that you mentioned, palladium extraction and recovery is not covered that much as there might be a few other videos but have not found one that has been as complete as this and the only constructive criticism that I would give to you and say is if you maybe could add at least in the comments the amount of chemicals used in each step including the amount of lead and the amount of silver to the original 1.4 kg of capacitors and for my own entertainment and I'm sure others would like to know what the end result was in terms of yield of palladium and also please if you can add these measurements and amounts please do explain the Portland cement a bit more, I'm a little confused as well as when you poured out the molten mixture did you just use a cooking pan to make the metal harden when it was the lead silver and palladium mixture together? Also the Portland cement did you make The crucible out of Portland cement as well as use Portland cement to make the cupel? (I'm referring to the first step of the cupel and also the second step with the crucible that you used with the thin wall, was that made from Portland cement that was hardened and obviously mixed with water? Any sort of additional clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for your time explaining and recording and editing this video and such detail as I know it is time consuming and you earned a loyal subscriber with just this video and look forward to seeing some of your others, I would like to see your method on gold recovery from the CPU and electronics parts, as well as if you have a easier method for electrolysis to recover gold from IC chips including mosfets and transistors. And any other precious metals, also any videos on recovering palladium from a catalytic converter would be appreciated and I'm sure others would enjoy as well. Thanks again and keep up the good videos and keep them coming! :-)
