Palladium is one of the more valuable precious metals, although it is rare in nature, palladium is not too difficult to find in many recyclable items, including automotive and industrial catalytic converters, and in alloys of gold and other metals.

Here are some other palladium basics to understand:

Palladium can be found in a range of manufactured items. If you have items that are made of “white gold,” for example, chances are good that they are really made of an alloy of gold and palladium – and that palladium can be extracted by a qualified palladium refiner like Specialty Metals Smelters and Refiners. Also, some jewelry items that appear to be made of platinum are really made of palladium. That was often done in the years around World War II, when the U.S. government restricted the use of platinum to military production.

Palladium has been misunderstood, almost from the day it was discovered in 1802 by a British scientist named William Hyde Wollaston. Other scientists questioned his “find” and claimed that his discovery was really an alloy of platinum and mercury. It was years before Wollaston’s new metal was recognized and listed as an element with the symbol Pd and an atomic number of 46.

Palladium is rare in nature and often comes from distant countries. The most extensive deposits are found in South Africa, Russia, Ontario and Montana.
