Hi guys
I have been looking on here for a complete step by step method to recover Palladium and if present Silver from monolithic capacitors. I have seen the slide show but like it says there are no details given and read through stacks of post listed on the forum and have used several search headings before posting this question. I have seen several posts on different ways from dropping with zinc or aluminum to ammonium chloride. I haven't seen how you recover the silver after the first boiling in HCL to remove the ceramic.
The reason I ask is that I have several kilos of capacitors and would love to have a go at trying to get Pd sponge. I have done several batches of gold from different sources and would like to try something a little more challenging but like I said I am having trouble finding a guide in which I could follow to try to limit my risk of messing up, as you guys know that it takes a while to scrap that many of boards so any help would be fantastic. P.S I hope I posted in the right section.
