In order to even begin figuring out how to purify this mixture, you need to know how much of each metal is present. An ICP atomic absorption analysis will tell you that.

Unless you've got a mountain of the stuff and the mixture is very simple (i.e. only palladium and iron), the best option will be to sell it to a platinum group metals refinery.
