ABSTRACT:
Cobalt and manganese oxidation catalyst metals are recovered from trimellitic anhydride process residue by extracting the residue with water and using the extract solution as a diluting solution in an electrodialyzer the separation stack of which comprises an anode channel and at least one three channel repeating unit wherein each repeating unit having in sequence channels A, B, and C. In this separation stack the anode channel is formed by an anode and a cation permeation membrane, Channel A is formed by two cation permeation membranes, Channel B is formed by a cation permeation membrane and an anion permeation membrane, and Channel C is formed by an anion permeation membrane and either a cation permeation membrane or a cathode. A suitable anolyte flows through the anode channel. The diluting solution is fed to the A channels. An electrolyte is fed to the B channels. A suitable catholyte is fed to the C channels. Concentrating solution of cobalt and manganese substantially free of metal and organic contaminants is effluent from the B channels.
The metals cobalt or cobalt and manganese can be recovered as an aqueous solution of acetate salts from an aqueous solution containing aromatic compounds including benzoic acid and one or more of the toluic acid, phthalic acid, and carboxybenzaldehyde isomers by electrodialysis using acetic acid and the catholyte, water as the metal acetate solvent, and the aqueous solution acid oxygen-containing aromatic compounds, and the metal ions as a more efficient than precipitating the metals from such solution as their carbonates and dissolving the carbonate precipitate in acetic acid.
