Method for recovering palladium from a nitric aqueous phase that contains, in addition to palladium, at least one other metal cation of which the valency is greater than or equal to 2, said method comprising the following steps of: a) optionally diluting the nitric aqueous phase that contains, in addition to palladium, at least one other metal cation of which the valency is greater than or equal to 2 in such a way that the concentration in nitric acid contained in this nitric aqueous phase after dilution is at most 3 mol.L -1; b) extracting palladium from said nitric aqueous phase optionally diluted in step (a), said extracting comprises at least one operation in which said nitric aqueous phase is put into contact with an organic phase that is not miscible with it, containing at least one malonamide free of sulphur atoms as an extractant, then separated from this organic phase; c) back-extracting at least one other metal cation of which the valency is greater than or equal to 2 present in the organic phase stemming from step (b), which back-extracting comprises at least one operation in which the organic phase stemming from step (b) is put into contact with an aqueous phase, the O/A ratio during this putting into contact being greater than or equal to 4, wherein the O/A ratio is defined as the ratio between the volume or the flow rate of the organic phase O and the volume or the flow rate of the aqueous phase A,; then d) selectively back-extracting the palladium present in the organic phase stemming from step (c), which back-extracting comprises at least one operation in which the organic phase stemming from step (c) is put into contact with an aqueous phase, then separated from this aqueous phase. a) optionally diluting the nitric aqueous phase that contains, in addition to palladium, at least one other metal cation of which the valency is greater than or equal to 2 in such a way that the concentration in nitric acid contained in this nitric aqueous phase after dilution is at most 3 mol.L -1; b) extracting palladium from said nitric aqueous phase optionally diluted in step (a), said extracting comprises at least one operation in which said nitric aqueous phase is put into contact with an organic phase that is not miscible with it, containing at least one malonamide free of sulphur atoms as an extractant, then separated from this organic phase; c) back-extracting at least one other metal cation of which the valency is greater than or equal to 2 present in the organic phase stemming from step (b), which back-extracting comprises at least one operation in which the organic phase stemming from step (b) is put into contact with an aqueous phase, the O/A ratio during this putting into contact being greater than or equal to 4, wherein the O/A ratio is defined as the ratio between the volume or the flow rate of the organic phase O and the volume or the flow rate of the aqueous phase A,; then d) selectively back-extracting the palladium present in the organic phase stemming from step (c), which back-extracting comprises at least one operation in which the organic phase stemming from step (c) is put into contact with an aqueous phase, then separated from this aqueous phase.
