Palladium Recovery:Applications and Recycling of Palladium
Palladium plays a crucial role in various industrial applications, with around 70% of all palladium used as a key component in automotive catalytic converters. Palladium is widely recognized for its ability to efficiently convert unburnt hydrocarbons, which is why it is predominantly used in petrol and hybrid vehicles. It serves as a catalyst that helps transform harmful gases in automobile exhaust fumes into less harmful substances, thereby reducing emissions and helping manufacturers meet environmental regulations.

It serves as a catalyst that helps transform harmful gases in automobile exhaust fumes into less harmful substances, thereby reducing emissions and helping manufacturers meet environmental regulations.
In addition to the automotive industry, palladium is a vital catalyst in several other sectors. In the petrochemical industry, palladium is used in hydrocracking processes, and it is essential in the production of terephthalic acid, a key ingredient in making plastics. Palladium also plays an important role in the purification of hydrogen peroxide, as well as in the production of nitric acid by Umicore—a leading producer of catalysts—where it is used as catchment gauze.
The versatility of palladium extends beyond industrial uses. Its resistance to tarnishing makes it an ideal material for applications in electronics, particularly in Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs), as well as in computers and mobile phones. Palladium’s resistance to oxidation also makes it a popular substitute for platinum in jewelry and electrical contacts.
