Residues are formed in the carbonylation of esters or ethers, particularly in the production of acetic anhydride or ethylidene diacetate. Such residues contain noble metal, typically rhodium used as a catalyst, which must be recovered before the residues can be disposed of. In the process of the invention, the rhodium values are freed from the residues by a series of treatments with amines and other reagents, thereby enabling the rhodium to be extracted by subsequent contact with an aqueous halogen acid. |

A liquid solution method of preparing electrically conductive pyrochlore compounds having the formula:A.sub.2 [B.sub.2-x A.sub.x ]O.sub.7-yis disclosed wherein A is selected from lead, bismuth and mixtures thereof, B is selected from ruthenium, iridium and mixtures thereof, 0.ltoreq..times..ltoreq.1.0 and 0.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.1. The method involves reacting A and B cations to yield a pyrochlore oxide by precipitation of A and B cations in a liquid medium having a pH which is equal to or greater than 4.5, but less than 13.5, in the presence of an oxygen source at a temperature below about 200.degree. C. for a time sufficient for reaction to occur. In those instances in which amorphous reaction products are obtained, these amorphous reaction products are subsequently heat treated at a temperature of about 200.degree. C. to about 600.degree. C. for a time sufficient to convert amorphous reaction products to crystalline pyrochlore(s). |

A process for the separation of rhodium catalysts from high-boiling and tarry distillation residues obtained in the processing of reaction products from organic, catalytic reactions, utilizing dissolved, homogenous rhodium complex catalysts, such as hydroformylation reactions, hydrocarboxylation reactions, isomerization, dimerization and oligomerization reactions, by passing a stream of a non-oxidizing, and preferably reducing, carrier gas, such as hydrogen or a hydrogen-containing gas, through the residue at an elevated temperature to selectively remove the organic constituents, leaving a heterogenous residue containing the rhodium, and dissolving this heterogenous residue in an inorganic acid to thereby form a water-soluble rhodium compound, which is suitable for the production of a complex rhodium catalyst in the known manner. Oleum is preferably used as the inorganic acid, and after mixing with the heterogenous residue, a portion is preferably fumed off. |

Fission products, e.g., palladium, ruthenium and technetium, are removed from aqueous, acidic waste solutions thereof. The acidic waste solution is electrolyzed in an electrolytic cell under controlled cathodic potential conditions and technetium, ruthenium, palladium and rhodium deposited on the cathode. Metal deposit is removed from the cathode and dissolved in acid. Acid insoluble rhodium metal is recovered, dissolved by alkali metal bisulfate fusion and purified by electrolysis. In one embodiment, the solution formed by acid dissolution of the cathode metal deposit is treated with a strong oxidizing agent and distilled to separate technetium and ruthenium (as a distillate) from palladium. Technetium is separated from ruthenium by organic solvent extraction and then recovered, e.g., as an ammonium salt. Ruthenium is disposed of as waste by-product. Palladium is recovered by electrolysis of an acid solution thereof under controlled cathodic potential conditions. Further embodiments wherein alternate metal recovery sequences are used are described.
