METHOD OF RECOVERING RHODIUM FROM RESIDUES REMAINING AFTER DISTILLATION OF OXOSYNTHESIS PRODUCTS

摘要

For the recovery of rhodium from the distillation residues of crude oxosynthesis products, the residue, or the feed material containing the residue, is treated with oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a monocarboxylic acid having 2 to 5 carbon atoms and of an alkali metal salt of a monocarboxylic acid having 2 to 5 carbon atoms. The rhodium is then extracted as a water-soluble compound with water.
