Palladium is a precious metal, scarce in the Earth's crust and non-renewable. Recycling palladium scrap (such as palladium carbon, palladium water, and palladium chloride) can significantly reduce dependence on primary palladium ore and conserve resource reserves. This article explains how to find palladium scrap in the global market.
What Is Palladium?
Palladium (symbol: Pd) is a precious metal belonging to the platinum group. It has a silvery-white metallic luster and a density of 12.02 g/cm³, lower than platinum (21.45 g/cm³) but higher than silver. It is highly ductile and can be drawn into extremely thin wires (0.025 mm). At room temperature, it can absorb 900 times its own volume in hydrogen. Its content in the Earth's crust is only 1/15 of that of gold, with annual production of approximately 200 tons (1/8 of that of gold).

Where Can I Recycle Palladium?
Palladium scrap comes from a wide range of sources, primarily in the industrial, consumer, and recycling sectors. You can find palladium scrap in the following industries:
Chemical Industry
Petroleum Refining: Spent palladium-on-carbon catalysts (containing 1%-15% palladium) generated from hydrocracking and catalytic reforming units, with an annual scrap volume exceeding 10,000 tons.
Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry: Palladium-on-carbon catalysts used in hydrogenation reactions and carbon-carbon coupling (e.g., palladium content of 5%-10% in PTA production).
Electronics Manufacturing: Scrap from 5G base station palladium film filters and multilayer ceramic capacitors, with an annual recycling volume exceeding 50 tons in Shenzhen. Automotive Industry: Scrapped automotive exhaust catalytic converters are a significant source, containing 0.1%-0.5% palladium.
How much is 1 gram of palladium worth?
The price of palladium is determined by a variety of factors, including palladium content and purity, as well as international supply and demand.
As of August 29, 2025, the international palladium price was $1,125.45 per ounce. If you're interested in palladium scrap prices, contact our experts immediately. We'll provide you with a fair, impartial, and reasonable quote.
