Palladium Recycling: A Metal for a Sustainable Future
Palladium is infinitely recyclable without losing its properties. Key sources of recycled palladium include spent automotive catalysts, old jewelry, and electronics. Despite increased recycling efforts, global demand still outpaces secondary supply.
Product Details
We strive to create materials that support a better and more sustainable tomorrow. Palladium plays a crucial role in environmental protection, particularly in catalytic converters that clean exhaust fumes from petrol and hybrid vehicles, reducing harmful emissions.
Diverse Applications:
- Automotive: 70% of palladium is used in catalytic converters, making it essential for reducing vehicle emissions.
- Jewelry: Alloyed with gold, palladium enhances the durability and appearance of white gold, making it perfect for engagement rings and lasting jewelry.
- Dental & Photography: Used in dental implants and platinotyping, ensuring durability and stability in photographs.
- Electronics & Catalysis: Found in Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs), mobile phones, computers, and industrial catalysts (e.g., hydrocracking and hydrogen peroxide purification).
- Investment: Palladium’s value has also made it popular in exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Recycling and Sustainability:
Palladium is infinitely recyclable without losing its properties. Key sources of recycled palladium include spent automotive catalysts, old jewelry, and electronics. Despite increased recycling efforts, global demand still outpaces secondary supply.
Key Properties:
Palladium, a shiny white metal resembling platinum, has the lowest melting point and volumetric mass among PGMs. Remarkably, it can absorb 600–900 times its volume in hydrogen, a property that facilitates hydrogen purification and storage.
