I was reprocessing solution, which contained Palladium. This is a process I have done many times before
I learned the process from this forum and the video’s I had purchased. I am not a chemist so please bare with me. The solution had already gone through gold refining with poor mans Aqua Regia and precipitated with SMB. But it still contained a significant amount of Palladium along with Chromium, Nickel, and some Copper. This process I do outside because of the Chlorine gas. I first put the solution in a large plastic bowl and add powdered chlorine (pool chemical) it boils and gives off a lot of gas. Occasionally I return to stir it, which makes more gas. It was during one if these stirrings that the explosion happened BOOM!!!!. As if I put a firecracker in it. I was splattered with solution on my arm luckily not in my face. Now I have done this many times before and nothing like this has ever happened, What did I do wrong??
