ABSTRACT:
A process for recovering a Group VIII noble metal catalyst, e.g. rhodium, from a liquid medium comprising Group VIII metal and a tar formed as a by-product in a carbonylation process is provided. The process comprises feeding the liquid medium to a first compartment of an electrodialysis cell and feeding a solvent to a second compartment adjacent the first. A voltage is applied to the electrodialysis cell to effect migration of the Group VIII metal from the first compartment to the second. The solvent used is preferably aqueous acetic acid.
