The Gravimetric Estimation of Nickel: The nickel is precipitated as nickel dimethyl glyoxime by adding alcoholic solution of dimethyl glyoxime C 4 H 6 (NOH) 2 and then adding a slight excess of aqueous ammonia solution. When the pH is buffered in the range of 5 to 9, the formation of the red chelate occurs quantitatively in a solution. The presence of a peak in the 2900 cm-1 region in palladium and platinum DMG chelates (Figs. 1e and lf) indicates a very weak interaction between nitrogen and metal ions leading to a small modification of the vCH mode by the hyperconjugative effect as compared to the case of nickel, copper and bis-cobalt chelates. This is the product of Nickle and dimethylglyoxime and is readily and quantitatively formed in solutions of Nickle ions buffered above pH 5. See attachment.

A discussion started in2003 but continuing through 2019
June 21, 2014Q. Hello sir, myself Vivek. Sir, if we add sodium formate in aqua regia on hot plate, palladium is precipitated or not? Sir please help me.
vivek vigA. You'll have to eliminate the nitric acid from the Pd aqua regia solution before precipitating the red Pd salt with sodium chlorate. This is usually done by evaporating the solution to a syrup, then adding a small amount of HCl. This is repeated until all the nitric acid has been removed, usually 3 times. While evaporating, use low heat towards the end or the solution will splatter.

A. Vivek,
I apologize. I thought you said sodium chlorate instead of sodium formate. Using sodium chlorate is the most common way of dropping Pd. I haven't used sodium formate, but I would think you would still have to remove the nitric first. I may be wrong.
A. Dear vivek Vig,
Os x leopard dmg. Palladium dissolves in nitric acid, no need of aqua regia.
Q. Anyone tell me that how can I separate palladium from liquid? And what chemical I use?
Muhammad YaseenA. Use dimethyl glyoxime or hypophospurus acid for palladium precipitation.
bhupesh mulikQ. I have metal mixture of palladium silver and copper. How to recover these metals separately? Please guide me.

? Hi Mehtab. Can you please try your best to phrase your question in terms of the answers already provided? I don't know much about that subject, but it looks like you are re-asking a question that has already been repeatedly answered in pretty good detail more than half a dozen times already. Please try to tell us what you are not understanding. Thanks.
Regards,
A. Hi mehtab.
You have a metal mixture of palladium (Pd), copper (Cu) & silver (Ag). All these dissolve in nitric acid, so dissolve it in nitric acid and then recover it from liquid giving preference to which metal is more in your mixture.
Q. I have a colloid solution red in colour with platinum nanoparticles in it at 40%. I want to get the platinum out; I need an answer in laymans terms -- some say it's not complicated, others say its dangerous. Help is needed please.
shaun claremontA. Dear shaun,
If possible, you first concentrate your red colour solution nearly half in quantity by volume. Check the pH, add slowly saturated solution of ammonium chloride in it. You will get yellow precipitate of platinum sponge.
Q. Hi, thanks. When you say concentrate I assume you mean heat it up so some of it boils away -- how do I find the pH of what's left? This yellow sponge. Do I then heat this up and turn it into a platinum ingot
shaun claremont [returning]A. Dear Shaun,
You have a solution which contains Pt. You heat this solution nearly half meaning if you have 4 liter solution, concentrate by boiling & make up to 2 liters. Then using ph paper sheet you check whether pH is acidic or not. Then add ammonium chloride in it to get yellow precipitate of platinum sponge.
Q. Hi bhupesh, thanks. Great. Now I have a platinum sponge can I put this in a crucible and melt it into a button?
shaun claremont [returning]A. Dear shaun,
Put all the yellow ppt in porcelain crucible; burn it at around 850 to 900 °C. It becomes like a gray ash. Then melt that gray powder in ceramic crucible at around 1850-1900 °C; you will get pure platinum.
Hi bhupesh,
Thanks for all your help; now going to try -- let's see what happens.
Hi. Please anyone tell me how I can prepare palladium chloride from palladium metal for catalyst. 99.99% purity.

Q. I have platinum soil mixed with copper dust; I'd like to know what method or acids must I use to separate these two?
joseph RamphomaneQ. I was having some amount of palladium on carbon 10% powder and I wanted to take palladium out of carbon powder so I made aqua Regia solution with HCl and HNO3 at ratio of 3:1 and put the palladium carbon powder in my aqua Regia solution and boiled it for 30 mins and more and after filtration I got very dark brown or dark red solution and I tried to precipitate palladium with the help of sodium metabisulphite, but it doesn't work and my solution is still in same color and it's been 2 days I have kept it in a borosil beaker.
So please anyone experience person who can suggest me that how can I precipitate palladium out of my aqua Regia solution with which other types of chemicals and how?
Please anyone help me, your kind suggestions will be appreciated by my side.
Thanks and regards
Choudhary Traders - Mumbai, IndiaA. Hi Imran,
I have an answer to your questions. You can use DMG or H3PO4 to precipitate palladium.
Q. Hi my name is Mark; I'm a small miner in Arizona and have achieved a separation of palladium and have converted it to palladium oxide at 1800 °F and now I'm trying to smelt in my induction furnace but cannot achieve above 400 °F with the oxide. The induction furnace will achieve 3800 °F according to manufacturer. I've seen the process done on youtube but they don't show how they started the melting process, just kept adding more oxide into the melt. Does anyone have knowledge of why the furnace is not harmonized for the oxide?
Mark SpradlingA. Hi, mark,
for melting palladium sponge you have to add a small amount of palladium metal before melting process, then slowly add your palladium sponge.
Thanks,
Q. Dear Sirs,
I have palladium-nickel alloy rejects from which we wish to reclaim the palladium with chemical precipitation. Could you kindly advise. Thank you.
Q. I have PT-PD alloy of prop. 925-75. To recover both metals I am doing aqua regia and then concentrating with HCl to remove nitric, then adding ammonium chloride to precipitate platinum sponge. Then calcining the sponge and melting.
The final metal consists 0.25% PD.
what can I do to remove this content at initial stage?
A. Hi armaan,
How did you detect 0.25% Pd still remains? Which assay did you do?
Pd ppt using DMG complex formation.
Thanks
Q. Hi Bhupesh,
I do XRF to check the same.
I doubt if ammonium chloride is precipitating some palladium or XRF is interpreting something false.
From my PT-PD mix dust I have to refine 3 times to get pure PT because every time I get a small proportion of PD in refined PT.

Dimethylglyoxime, DMG (IUPAC name: 2,3-Butanedione Dioxime) (CH3C(NOH)C(NOH)CH3) is a white crystalline solid that is insoluble in pure water but soluble in alcohol or a solution of NaOH, DMG has two acidic protons and thus dissolves in aqueous NaOH as a sodium salt.
It is used in detection and analyzing of nickel and palladium content in solutions. It is also used to strip palladium from silver electrolyte. It could be used in palladium refining but thanks to the high price of DMG refiners usually use classical methods instead.
In acidic solutions Pd can be precipitated selectively from nickel that will stay in solution. In alkaline solutions nickel will precipitate.
For gravimetric analyze a solution of 1% DMG in alcohol is used. When the goal is to precipitate Pd from other noble metals, an aqueous DMG solution in NaOH is usually preferred.
To prepare a DMG in 1M NaOH solution start with 4g NaOH in 100 ml distilled water, then add 5.81 g DMG and filter when it has dissolved.
To precipitate 1.00 g of Pd, 2.5 g of DMG is used. This is the same as 43 ml of the above alkaline solution. When using the alkaline solution the pH value must be kept acidic to keep nickel from precipitating.
| WARNING! When silver, nitric acid and alcohol is mixed, explosive silver fulminate can be created. |
