Abstract
A method is provided for recovering metals from a spent catalyst composition containing an organic contaminant and catalytically active metals on a catalyst support. The metals are leached from the spent catalyst composition by adding under stirring an ionic liquid. The ionic liquid containing the leached metals is separated from the organic contaminant and the catalyst support by adding under stirring an anti-solvent. After removing the organic contaminant and the catalyst support, the leached metals are separated from the ionic liquid for example by selective precipitation, ion exchange, solvent extraction, electrodeposition, chromatographic, or pyrometallurgical methods.
