Can that black powder be palladium ?

[@josephsmith9374]

I don't know much about chemical testing but I know that platinum group metals can be mixed in small amounts with copper/iron/gold deposits

Hello everything is fine? Congratulations on showing us these beautiful techniques for recovering metals from rocks as well as sand. Here in Brazil, this material is classified as soft shale, many look for it for precious stones, but numerous noble metals are also found in it, I took a collection of this material here and did it with a chlorine gas process, and in the precipitation with aluminum it showed which precipitated noble metals, then I made an aqua regia with the precipitate and the tin chloride test gave a brown color. It's very difficult to work with platinum and palladium but it's not impossible, shale has a lot of mica, pyrite, iron, etc. I know you'll be able to do it. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Strong hug

You can dissolve the black powder in aqua regia and use the stannous test.

[@thoriqrahman8755]

I think that silver sir.

[@francesray6465]

Tin oxide? dissolve some in HCL, then test a gold solution with it

[@markflores9055]

We're going to need a bigger beaker.

[@myadventure7069]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think maybe I stay with the gold less problems !

Muy bién.

Nice❤

The solution after boiling in AR is reddish brown, it is actually the color of Palladium. But you could test this solution with Stannous. If you get a reaction black color with a yellowish halo its highly likely Palladium.

[@myadventure7069]

Thank you for information .

[@mihaiilie8808]

Palladium is easy to test with stanous chloride. Just like gold but its green instead of purple. Its complicated to drop it from solution and lately got cheap. Platinum its very dangerous, not worth to try to get it in small amounts and its also cheap.

This powder is paladium iam sure ❤❤❤

Palladium..yellow Hugh i have same substance very hard to resolve

[@petevenuti7355]

Definitely interesting, definitely something, Does your local scrap yard have an xrf? Can you get to a university or anywhere that might have? Have you done something simple like dry, weigh, calculate density? Even if not precious metals, my girlfriend would like it for arts and crafts😅 Everything is worth something to somebody, its just hard to recognize and find someone who wants what has no value to you.

[@ArnvikDean-pc1rt]

I don't think that palladium desolves in aqua rega you need nitric

[@geilkindmachen820]

Platinum palladium group metals can be slightly magnetic, can easily rectify by heating magnetic materials up slightly and iron will still stick to magnet but platinum group metals won’t.

[@mauryoden]

Thank you, interesting process

Sulfides

[@Jatslo]

This floating behavior could be related to changes in hydrophobicity, which is a key aspect of flotation processes, and we assume it's the sulfides that are floating. There is potential for more precious metals within the sulfides.

[@Jatslo]

Many of the chemicals that you are buying can be manufactured from the very materials you are processing. For example, if you were to skim off the sulfides; washing them as you collect them in some container, after a while you could very easily make sodium or potassium metabisulfite. We usually work with sodium, and make sodium hydroxide, which is good at collecting sulfur dioxide and other gases. Chemicals are expensive, and getting difficult to buy for various reasons, but the ingredients derived from the very soils you are processing. You might not be able to work, as you say, but you can locate and claim something valuable for resell to the highest bidder. After some time, perhaps leasing to a mining company is a viable option, whereas your fee would be 15%.

[@myadventure7069]

@Jatslo yes everything can be made . Problem with the founding gold and claiming the land and after selling is a big job , I make big money when I was young, now I don’t need do anything to live well this what I doing is just my hobby I don’t need the money I have enuf.if I be younger then I be doing something , but I am 65 .

[@Jatslo]

@@myadventure7069 , same here. I'm 57. We are still young with lots of life, though.

[@myadventure7069]

@Jatslo yes wee still young, ,but some part of body don’t let me work .
