“Catalyst, pollution control, petroleum cracking, and processing fats” are already listed for platinum. There’s an attempt to not make a lot of duplicate uses, and palladium already has pollution control illustrated. Also some uses are harder to illustrate than others.

Dude, I hold patents for platinum catalyst. We were talking about Iridium (a Platinum Group Metal, I know)

A platinum crucible is a laboratory container used to contain chemical compounds when subjected to extremely high temperatures.

Such a world is horrific to imagine. Perhaps the only thing worse would be a world without zinc.

I'm pretty sure I'd regret oxygen faster than Zinc or Platinum but YMMV
