Abstract

Low temperature selective chlorination of unroasted and roasted spent hydrorefining catalysts was studied between 300 and 600 °C for the recovery of transition and/or refractory metals. Direct oxychlorination of the C+S rich sample allows higher extraction rates than those obtained by the carbochlorination of the same roasted one. Cobalt and nickel chlorides were extracted from the chlorination residues by their dissolution with acified water, whereas molybdenum and vanadium chlorinated compounds were recovered by selective condensation from the vapor phase.
