Palladium is platinum's little brother. It is rare and expensive and yet hardly anyone knows its appearance or properties.
 Palladium is one of the great metals of the future. It was used as a cheap substitute for gold until prices exploded. Today we find palladium in disused PCs, cell phones and other electronic waste. For the first time, the book clarifies the exact occurrences, how to recognize them and then recover the palladium. Often the palladium is not recognized as such and not even remunerated when it is added to gold. Palladium is worth more than 1/3 of the gold! The book also names serious buyers and processors of palladium-containing components. You will read how you can tell whether palladium is contained in devices and components and how you can get it out using the simplest methods. This lucrative market is characterized to this day by the confidentiality and secrecy of those involved. Palladium will experience an incomparable new boom over 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 when hunting for palladium. More than 40 colored illustrations complete the important data, addresses and technical information. As always, the author made sure to present the sometimes complex relationships in understandable colloquial language. No knowledge of chemistry or electronics is required. Processes for the extraction of palladium from electronic waste are discussed in detail, illustrated and, where necessary, explained with diagrams. This book is unique, not only in Germany, but worldwide. It is the only publication that lifts the veil of secrecy and clearly shows how to do it and whether and how it is worthwhile.
