Eco-Friendly Palladium Remover

Eco-Friendly Palladium Remover by CleanMet™ Series PD-200 is a non-toxic, biodegradable chelating agent designed for selective palladium recovery from electroplating rinses and catalyst leachates. Free of cyanide, heavy metals, and volatile organics, it achieves >95% Pd removal efficiency at ambient temperature with minimal sludge generation and full compliance with REACH and EPA guidelines.

Features Of Eco-Friendly Palladium Remover

  1. Non-toxic, water-based formulation with zero heavy metal solvents or chlorinated compounds.

  2. Selectively chelates palladium ions (Pd²⁺) without attacking common substrate metals such as nickel, copper, or stainless steel.

  3. Biodegradable active ingredients compliant with OECD 301B standard for ready biodegradability.

  4. pH-neutral (6.8–7.2) operation minimizes corrosion risk and eliminates need for post-rinse neutralization.

  5. Low foaming profile ensures compatibility with automated spray, immersion, and ultrasonic cleaning systems.

Typical Applications Of Eco-Friendly Palladium Remover

  1. Recovery and purification of palladium from spent electroless nickel–palladium plating baths.

  2. Cleaning of palladium-contaminated fixtures and tooling in semiconductor packaging assembly lines.

  3. Decontamination of Pd-loaded ion exchange resins prior to resin regeneration or disposal.

  4. Pre-treatment step before precious metal refining of catalyst residues from pharmaceutical hydrogenation processes.

  5. Removal of trace palladium leachates from ceramic substrates used in multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) manufacturing.

Eco-Friendly Palladium Remover – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Eco-Friendly Palladium Remover?

A: As a proprietary multi-component formulation, Eco-Friendly Palladium Remover does not have a single CAS number; full component disclosure and individual CAS numbers are provided in Section 3 of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).


Q2: What is the recommended working concentration and contact time for optimal palladium removal?

A: Use at 2–5% v/v in deionized water; typical contact time is 5–15 minutes at ambient temperature (20–25°C), with agitation. For heavily loaded surfaces, extend to 20 minutes or apply warm (≤40°C) solution.


Q3: How does it compare to traditional thiourea- or cyanide-based palladium strippers?

A: Unlike hazardous thiourea (toxic, carcinogenic) or cyanide (acutely lethal) strippers, this product achieves comparable Pd removal efficiency (>98% in validated ENP bath tests) without generating regulated hazardous waste streams or requiring special handling permits.


Q4: Is it certified for use in electronics manufacturing with RoHS or REACH compliance?

A: Yes — fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (no restricted substances detected above threshold) and REACH Annex XVII; declaration of conformity and test reports available upon request.


Q5: Can it extract palladium from solid catalysts or ceramic-supported Pd, and what is the extraction efficiency?

A: It is designed for soluble Pd²⁺ ions in aqueous matrices; for solid-supported Pd, pre-oxidation (e.g., mild HNO₃/H₂O₂ leaching) is required to solubilize palladium first. Under optimized leach-and-treat conditions, >92% Pd recovery has been demonstrated in pilot-scale trials.
