My Story
William Hyde Wollaston discovered palladium in 1803 in crude platinum ore from South America. He dissolved the ore in aqua regia (a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids), neutralised the acid with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and precipitated the platinum by treatment with ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, as ammonium chloroplatinate. Palladium was then removed as palladium cyanide by treatment with mercuric cyanide. The metal was produced from this cyanide b
I am not used to much for job purposes but some stuff that i do in the world are:
  • finely divided palladium is a good catalyst for hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions
  • alloyed for use in jewellery. White gold is an alloy of gold decolourixed by the addition of palladium
  • can be beaten into leaf as thin as 1/250000 inch
  • dentistry (crowns)
  • used in fine instruments such as watches and some surgical instruments
  • used to make electrical contacts
  • used to purify hydrogen gas
