The most successful e-book on the subject of recovering palladium from electronics! Palladium is the little brother of platinum. It is rare and expensive and yet hardly anyone knows what it looks like or what its properties are.
 Palladium is one of the great metals of the future. Until the price exploded, it was used as a cheap substitute for gold. Today we find palladium in old PCs, mobile phones and other electronic waste. The book explains for the first time the exact deposits, how to identify them and then recover the palladium. Often the palladium is not recognized as such and is not even paid for when mixed with gold. But palladium is worth more than 1/3 of gold! The book also names reputable buyers and processors of palladium-containing components. You will read how you can tell whether palladium is contained in devices and components and how to find it out - using the simplest methods. This lucrative market is still characterized by the secrecy and confidentiality of those involved. Yet palladium will experience an unparalleled new boom in the next few years. It is currently used as a catalytic converter in every car. In the future, the fuel cells of electric cars will be equipped with this palladium, as it is able to store 900 times its own weight in hydrogen. The book shows all the important details in the hunt for palladium. Over 40 color illustrations complement the important data, addresses and technical information. As always, the author has taken care to present the sometimes complex relationships in understandable colloquial language. No knowledge of chemistry or electronics is required. Processes for extracting palladium from electronic waste are discussed in detail, illustrated and explained with diagrams where necessary. This book is unique, not only in Germany, but worldwide. It is the only publication that lifts the veil of secrecy and shows clearly how to do it and whether and how it is worthwhile.
