I processed a lot of older ceramic CPU's, 486, Pentium Pro, etc.
The picture below is the legs that came off of the CPU's by soaking in nitric acid. Later I added some HCL. A lot of silver chloride was formed. When I filtered out the gold legs from the CPU's they were all plated with what I think may be palladium. It's a silver like color, but not as shiny as silver. The legs still stick to a manet.
I'm thinking of doing a dilute nitric soak to remove what I think is palladium Would like to hear some opinions as to what I'm dealing with hear.
