Mineral Species sorted by the element Pd Palladium

Mineral Chemistry

Palladium (Pd )

Atomic Mass	106.42
Atomic Number	46
Name Origins	After the asteroid "Pallas"
Year Discovered	1803
Discovery Credits	Discovered by W. H. Wellaston at London, UK.
Remarks	Silvery-white metal, lustrous, malleable, ductile. Resists corrosion, dissolves in oxidizing acids and fused alkalis. Readily absorbs hydrogen gas. Main use is as a catalyst. Diagnostic tests: There are no simple chemical tests for palladium. The element is usually found as an alloy or a sulfide mineral with other platinum group metals. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy is used for quantitative analysis and Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-rays (EDAX) is used for qualitative analysis.
