Palladium recovery from Monolithic Ceramic Capacitors

Thank you Palladium

Thanks Lou
So recovery Ag and Pd from mixing of MLCCs and SMD resistors are safe in digesting and incineration process.
But in crushing process we deal with RuO2 dust, So it is better eliminate most of SMD resistors from MLCCs and sell them or send to landfill.
Is it true ?

You could Process wet as u crush and avoid the dust, just use a fine mist spray to wash the materials clean of surfaces youre transferring them from and into.
But wear gloves also as metal salts can be absorbed through the skin.
Theyre potentially far more toxic as in some salt form many elements are able to pass readily absorbed through the skin and blood to brain membrane barrier.

I’d be less worried about the RuO2 and more worried about other constituents.
