Abstract

The electrochemical behaviour of palladium in dilute acidic chloride solution was investigated using a rotating disc electrode system and the electrowinning of palladium using a modified electrochemical cyclone cell was also carried out. The effect of several variables such as applied voltage, hydrochloric acid concentration and electrolyte flow rate were studied to obtain the optimum conditions for electrowinning. More than 99% of the palladium in solution was recovered within an hour under the optimum conditions using the cyclone cell and grey powdery deposits were observed at a high applied voltage. The purity of palladium electrowon from the leach liquor was at least 99%.
