Welcome to the forum. First, as jimdoc has said you need to do a lot of studying. Second, refining the PGM's out of Cats is not as easy as one would think. However, there are plenty of threads here to help you learn what is needed.
I heared to get sodium chlorite
The correct name is "Sodium Chlorate" it is used for the Palladium.
I need to cook the bleach but how you tell if it ready ?
You don't cook anything in refining. You either heat the solution or boil the solution.
You need to start with the safety section first and move on to the library section here. Then use the search function and search for "PGM's - Cat refining - Palladium - Platinum" This will give you some great information on what you are trying to do.
A word of CAUTION here: Make sure you know the dangers of the chemicals you have listed in your thread. Read the MSDS sheets on all chemicals you use. It is always better to be safe then sorry - not knowing the danger(s) can KILL you.
If you do your part here there is always someone here to help when you get stuck.

Thanks Ken,
Here is my Step For PT/PD and of course MSDS caution.
1) With a cardboard crush the Honeycomb with the hammer then put the crush honeycomb in a coffee Pot.
2) Add 300 Ml of %32 HCL and 30 Ml of %20 H2O2 and add H20 enough to be fill but NOT all the way to the TOP!
3) Use a Heat burner or Hotplate and Heat the the coffee pot (good 3 HOURS ) until it turn MAROON to DEEP RED then let it cool.
4) Grab another empty coffee pot and a coffee filter
5) add ONLY solution (NOT THE ACTUAL HONEYCOMB) to the empty coffee pot with coffee filter .
6) use a spoon and take a small sample of the solution and give a stannous chloride test.
7) color looking for is orange PT, green PD or even pink RE.
8 ) Add sodium chlorate crystal (ONE AT A TIME) to the solution
9) you see the the crystal falling down the coffee pot that is PT and PD oxide.
10) heat the PT and PD oxide with glass frying pan.
This a quick summary of my CAT setup. Their more detail in the steps and explanation that I was given.
