Palladium (Pd) Metal
Palladium (Pd) belongs to the platinum group of metals. Palladium is steel-white in color, except in powder form when it appears black. Palladium resists tarnishing in the air; it is soft and ductile if annealed. Palladium has the lowest density and melting point of the platinum metals and is the most reactive. At room temperature, palladium absorbs up to 900 times its volume of hydrogen.
Typical Applications
Palladium is used in car catalytic converters. It is also used in jewelry and some dental applications. It is used in the electronics industry in ceramic capacitors, found in laptop computers and mobile phones. It is also used for separating and purifying hydrogen gas and is a good catalyst for hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions.
