Palladium supported in kieselguhr (Pd/K) is a candidate material for processing of hydrogen isotopes at Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) and Savannah River Plant (SRP). Kieselguhr is a porous, sedimentary rock composed of silicified skeletal remains of single-celled aquatic plants called diatoms. SRL has developed a process for deposition of palladium on kieselguhr particles using immersion in an ammonical palladium chloride solution followed by heating in hydrogen to decompose the chloride to metallic palladium. The goal is to produce Pd/K particles with less than 250 ppm chlorine.
