PROCESS TO SEPARATE A GROUP 8-10 METAL/PHOSPHITE LIGAND COMPLEX FROM AN ORGANIC LIQUID

摘要

Process to separate a group 8-10 metal/phosphite ligand complex from an organic liquid mixture, wherein the following steps are performed: (1) contacting the organic liquid with a support having bonded thereto an organophosphine ligand and separating the organic mixture which is poor in group 8-10 metal/phosphite ligand complex, (2) contacting the thus obtained loaded support with an organic solvent and carbon monoxide and separating the thus obtained organic solvent rich in group 8-10 metal/phosphite ligand complex, and (3) reusing the support obtained in step (2) in step (1).
