Do not repeat the experiments shown in this video!
Hi everyone! In this video you will learn about such a metal as palladium and also about why it has disappointed me so much. In the periodic table of chemical elements palladium belongs to group 10 and is located right below nickel and is one of the platinum group of precious metals.
Since palladium is quite lowly active, pure form of this metal naturally occurs in platinum nuggets. However, such instances are quite rare that is why it is usually extracted as a byproduct from copper-nickel ores which are found in South Africa and Canada. Nowadays Russia is the largest producer of pure palladium, production of which takes place in the city of Norilsk. - Věda a technologie
I'm from Norilsk, and to get palladium, thousands of people, including my father, are allowed to work in the mines outside the city. after that, all this is taken by train to the factories. the company producing this is called Norilsk Nickel. P.S. sorry for the errors... in the translator translated)))
Its ok but that is very cool
Norilsk is very interesting for me. I have been to many Russian cities. I'm Dutch. My wife is Russian and we met there and lived in Kazan together for 7 years before moving here to Holland. Norilsk is a city i can only enter with special permission. I heard many things about Norilsk and it's main company Norilsk Nickel. Here we only hear about the extreme pollution but I feel there are many untold facts about the city. I look beond reputation and would still love to visit because Norilsk may be isolated but it's a place where people live and I would love to meet them!
And Nikkeli is close to Norway.
My professor once swapped out Pd/C for Pt/C in the middle of a pressurized gas-phase hydrogenation experiment, to see if it'd be more reactive. Created a decent explosion, closed down the lab for the day. So yes, Pt is indeed more reactive, I suppose.

When I was a kid, we had coal gas and I was mystified by this magic wand used to ignite the coal gas stove. It didn’t work when converted to natural gas. When I later learned chemistry, I suspected this wand had a small sample of platinum or palladium which ignited the hydrogen in the coal gas.

we produce pd from coal mine
I worked a retail gig over the last few years. When a product was supposedly expensive and random customers would ask me if it was "made of gold", I'd tell them "No, it's made of palladium"
Nobody laughed, and it was one small reason I decided to leave shopkeeping.
Your videos are well done and very interesting. I never had any interesting in Chemistry, but these videos bring it alive! Keep up the great work!

I had my Wedding ring made entirely of Palladium; it was indeed the nastiest marriage... I haven't checked spot in a long time; it was cheaper than gold when I got it...good to hear the price is up.
Treat yourself!
lmao
you're a bum
Same experience here, a truly nasty bit of metal. It ruined my life.
Platinum is much better of a metal then palladium much easier to work with aswell jewelry creation wise, it doesn’t have any oxidation or contamination unless at high temperatures just some random info✌🏻for your next one brother get platinum
Thank you so much for this great video! I'm fascinated by metal-based science. You obviously know the subject well, which is refreshing. Also, your enthusiasm for and even your adorable disappointment in palladium is infectious. Well done!!
Russia is number one exporter of palladium, all other countries have inferior palladium...
Come grasp the mighty phenis of our leader, from juction with testes to tip of its face
We have the London Palladium.
you should be very proud🙄
Don't mind me, I just came here to make sure someone did this
(Potassium is used to make Pussy Magnets)
Palladium's most unique property is as a hydrogen purifier. Heated to 400C, a Palladium membrane (tube) allows ONLY Hydrogen atoms to pass through it. Hydrogen as a molecule is 'broken' into separate atoms at the Palladium surface, and the single Hydrogen atom can pass through the Palladium membrane to recombine into H2 on the other side. In this case, the purest gas (hydrogen) of any type of gas can be formed. Every single impurity is removed. Eventually, the world will rely on Hydrogen as its main fuel source (oil as a combustible source being eliminated). We'll have electric cars but aircraft and rockets will use Hydrogen (by itself or as a mixture) for its fuel source. Palladium as a metal investment will dwarf gold and platinum.
i laughed when He said "and why it has dissappointed me so much"
I used to buy palladium in coins because they were cheaper then when I was buying platinum, so what happened? I never checked the price until you made this video, I did good buying what was in the 1980's called poor mans platinum palladium used in catalytic converter well now who is the poor man? Thank you for making me aware of this change I never check to see what things are worth unless I was selling them. Back to my science lesson that is what I come her for we trust this man and he educates us well through easy awareness learning. Thanks to you again for the videos.
Palladium coin was the original bitcoin.
I wish my chemistry professor was like you. I have read about each and every metal, their electronic configuration, their oxidation properties, reactivity, family, financial condition,address
But I can't identify them.
Great video my friend!
Looking forward to watching more of your content 😊
Thank you for posting. So clever using the converter to collect it. I just subscribed.
Fascinating as usual. And I personally can understand you quite well. The video itself could use some pauses in between sections; it will sound less hurried. Keep going Thoisoi, I have subscribed.
I don't think he sounds hurried. His delivery style is wonderfully concise and succinct, that's all. Enjoy it for its rarity!
Verschlungen You are right, he does not hurry his talking, but the gaps between sections are too short, in places.
While paladium was once used a lot in white gold, as the price increased it was made with nickel that was much cheaper. The result had a different luster and was more brittle few folks noticed.
Always a treat, are these videos - better than my high school chemistry classes by far.
Your channel is wonderful. I introduced your videos to my father and he loves them.
great content, and one of my favorite narrators.
This video was in my CZcams recommended page...
The reason why palladium (and to a larger degree, platinum) is very nasty, is because it bonds with hydrocarbons, and signals this bonding by a change capacitance.
The catalytic convertor in your car has lots of palladium in it, binds with hydrocarbons, and removes them from the exhaust of your engine. A good thing, brought about by the bad nature of palladium. It is the primary industrial use of this metal.
Come on folks, this video is serious about palladium, and is a major trade material from Russia, like many other materials.
Another interesting one is Berylium. Only available, in large quantities, in Australia and Russia. It’s alloyed with Iron and Titanium to create space age steels.
do you know why Pt is not use in catalytic converter when Pd cost 2.5 X of Pt and Pt is a better catalyst for auto exhaust.
jack schitt you’ve lost me on the point your making - I thought Pt was the metal used in catalytic converters and not palladium are you saying the video has a political angle ?
@@dickiedollop
No, it is not a political statement. Your question is based on information that is literally obsolete.
I am 67-years old, and was a branch tech of Sun Electric Corporation between 1980-1989 (the period where catalytic converters were invented and improved). Sun Electric, in those days very large, was building the equipment states like California and Arizona were using to test vehicles.
The first catalytic converters were in fact using Platinum, but later it was found that Palladium (an natural amalgam containing platinum) was almost as useful against hydrocarbons as platinum, at less than half the price at the metal price level.
Palladium today is $1800+/ounce because its price has gone up beyond normal, because it is now a very large use item in the manufacturing of catalytic converters. If Platinum were still used, Platinum would not be around $1300/ounce, but would now be more than $3500+ dollars/ounce (and the related catalytic convertors would be beyond the point of marketability in most moderately priced automobiles.
My point about various nations involves the fact that some metals are only available in countries not directly associated with the United States, and therefore is a driving force in interesting contracts in trader. Political, perhaps, from a certain point of view, but it wasn't my main point in the conversation.
KD7BWB Thank you for clarifying this and the points raised about the costs/use benefits of the respective elements. I am not a chemist but enjoy watching videos by Thoisoi and admittedly some of it goes above my head. Your original posting caught my attention , I guess as these elements become more scarce their usage will have increased geopolitical impacts - well until we start mining space lol.

Great experiments! Even though you were ... foiled (meh) ... by the non-reactivity of the palladium but I was intrigued by its use in catalytic converters on vehicles. You always show me how the elements of our world are actually used and are essential/useful every single day without much of a second thought. Great channel, so glad you can do this, and will continue to, until, you run out of elements! Ahh, just start making your own up. You already have the elemental logo ... lol thanks again and again!
that pun..............
Platinum is what is used in catalytic converters. Palladium is used extreme heat environments. Fiber glass plants use Palladium in bushings due to the fact that it is a very non reactive metal and can be superheated (self sustaining)
Good Video. He forgot to mention that palladium is used in multi-layer ceramic capacitors, which is it's biggest application in the electronics industry.
Your videos are great!
I always learn lots of things with them. You have a cool accent as well, I wish I could know where you're from!
White gold is actually usually only plated with palladium. The alloy itself is gold and silver, sometimes nickel. White gold actually looks silvery on its own, but when plated in palladium it looks very similar to platinum. I personally prefer non-palladium-plated white gold, as the white gold alloy has a very interesting colour that is silvery but also has tinges of the yellow gold, especially when you look at it from different angles in the light. The coating can be polished off.

He said that because the metal doesnt have any interesting reaction
So he used nastiest incorrectly

I already miss hearing Keramic! See what you all have done!
Yes, but here we have "...as an kay-toad" at 7:42, for "...as a cathode," I assume -- which I found quite whimsical.
In Russian, the word is катод (katod), sounding more like 'caught' than 'kay', so the sound at 7:42 cannot be attributed to Russian/English differences. It's just fun, that's all.
TY for the vid!

Did you salt out your dissolved palladium? Maybe reduce it to metal powder and heat it back to a nice palladium ball?
There's not alot of video's about this metal thanks for the content 👌
it's th first channel on ytoutube, that i know about as much absorbing things, like rare element, and interesting chemica experiments (chemistry is my love)

you can get palladium coated ceramics cheaply from a gas soldering iron it is used to catalize butane without burning it
You sir are a nerd.
Love your channel and your commentary.
Keep up the great work >>>>>
The nastiest metal on earth: Clearly this was going to be a video about the element polonium. But speaking about polonium is banned in Russia.
Try to focus on USA soldier problem with depleted uranium.
I was to ask to why , this other comment answer it....

"Here it is, this unique content".....indeed it is sir.
I’ve made 100’s of rings by hand with palladium. It’s easy to work with when you know how. It forges easily as long as you keep the annealing temperatures right
Love your videos. Your channel is always solid science.
Superb channel, thank you
Look up the Suzuki Reaction. Pd(II) is used as a catalyst here and allows you to 'cross-couple' two chemicals and form a C-C bond between them (provided they have the right functionality). Might not seem that exciting, but it's otherwise quite hard to do, especially for aromatic stuff. This is much more interesting than the mundane reactions in this video imo
I would like to also mention its use in electroless plating.
I would think thallium was the nastiest metal on Earth. Or maybe you could argue that gallium is, since when it's liquid, unlike mercury, it sticks to everything and makes a mess.
I agree with gallium! Showed it off at a party once, my friend spilled it at my couch, table and carpet. That was almost two years ago.
Even today, i still find pieces of gallium stuck in the deep carpet, or suddenly something white is all grey because a small fragment ended up somewhere and gets smeared all over!
Tl doesn't come close. Good old Pu-239 has long held this title. Although Po and Ra rank right up there, too. The intensely radioactive elements will always trump the merely toxic stuff like Tl. Ga is innocuous by comparison.
@@danvizine895 Plutonium is IIRC also extremely toxic from a chemical standpoint. Even if we could somehow make stable plutonium, it would still be the most toxic element known.
Plutonium-239 is not remotely the most dangerous metal. It is an alpha emitter with a fairly long half-life (AKA not that radioactive). It is very poorly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract (about one in 10^5 atoms and less if it is an insoluble form like an oxide). The people who worked with isolating and casting plutonium and were exposed during the manhattan project were followed up for decades. Hot particle theory and LNT hypothesis are both bullshit. They inhaled or were injected with scary amounts when a beaker exploded and similar types of accidents.
Pu-238 has a much shorter half-life and is radioactive enough to glow a dull red hot if you have a sizeable amount. It is hundreds of times more radioactive than Pu-239 and it was still used for powering pace makers in gram amounts per person; no one was ever provably hurt by it.
Pu-239 is only scary when you have it in such amounts that it will sustain a fission reaction if you stand near it or accidentally get two pieces too close to each other. Such accidents are called criticality accidents.

Great work
You sound like a Bond villian. Great video. I am a new subscriber.
I periodically work on Saturdays.....Guess I'll be in late lo.
It seems like the element Palladium works good with the human bodys chemistry, whereas it doesn't produce a chemical reaction when some may have a rash or some skin condition from being on or in the skin for a long period of time.

Very interesting. Thanks
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making these hands-on material-science studies. They satisfy so many questions I've had without having to expend all the time, frustration, and money necessary to perform the necessary experiments.
You do the work of gods.
LOL! Just LOL.
@@donaldhoot7741
For real, though? That lab setup alone is going to set you back a few hundred bucks, and even more for necessary materials for the experiment. For an individual who studies these things, professionally or casually, having something like this demonstration available in detail and at length? It's like finding a video which shows you an easy, no-cost fix for a problem you have with your car, which would have cost you $200 to have done at a mechanic.
Every science video becomes instantly better and 100% more credible through the addition of cats. It is a catalytic reaction of sorts.
Fact! 😻
In a way, this makes me even more of a believer that something catty is going on after just hearing about the universal cat theory and isn't it a coincidence that my cat just had kittens 2 months ago and she herself I found in a box on the side of river road only months before that?

LOL, I bet this guy only watch dubbed TV.
dont know what I will ever do with this information, but I enjoyed getting it.
Palladium is used as both catalyst enhancement and bonding agent when suspended in a ceramic mixture containing cadmium, rhodium, platinum, and palladium. The ability of the material to endure the high temperatures involved with an overfueling, or misfire event involving an automotive engine. Temps can easily reach 3500 degrees F when this happens similar ceramic materials cannot maintain bonds within and meltdown occurs. It is a common occurrence in poorly maintained vehicles. The catalytic effect is not very theatrical or dramatic. But its ability to reburn is useful for infared heaters that operate on hydrocarbon gases like propane very efficiently and produce alot of heat radiation warming not only you, but your surroundings as well. As most heater circulate heated air that is quickly lost

No lie. We worked with quantities between 2 and 8 kg in our factory. It was used to hydrogenate Oxilofrine, a certain kind of amphetamine. Pd was expensive those days, but not extremely expensive. It had to be reactivated after some cycles. Dissolved in HCl + H202 and reduced with formaldehyde to become a black fine dust againe. It should never become dry, of course, but was always kept as a dispersed microfine dust, called "sponge" under water.
In 1968, a colleague of mine, made a mistake and three or 4 kg disappeared in the sink.
He was really scolded, but not fired and stayed on to work for a total of 45 years for the company.

I assume he was going to talk about polonium...the radioactive type that mother Russia doesn't like to talk about. It's used in assinations and now you and i are on their Hit list. Happy now?
But..he isn’t even Russian? And Palladium and polonium are completely different?
Because it's too expensive now maybe. It has more than quintupled in value over the last 10 years, while platinum is less than half its value in approximately the same time. As they say, the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
I lost track of the subject, but I enjoyed your explanation.
To make the Pd/C explode with hydrogen you need to use the unreduced form. If it doesn't say unreduced on it, it already has hydrogen absorbed to it on the surface making it safer to handle.
Dumping it into methanol under air can also cause it to ignite, also the reduced form.
