Magnetic MLCCs part 2: The palladium test result!

Here we see that not only do these weakly-magnetic MLCCs contain silver, they're also STRONGLY positive for PALLADIUM!!! So, yeah, don't throw them out! You could be trashing a fortune! Pay attention to the magnets you use, and try to pick the best ones for the job. Discerning between those with SOME PMs, vs those that have just nickel electrodes is incredibly important! And then there are the crucial processing steps and pitfalls to avoid, such as not cleaning out all the chlorides before adding nitric acid to the solids. Study a lot, and then: Practice, practice, practice!!! Don't do a big batch until you perfectly run a small batch!
