A METHOD FOR RECOVERING SELENIUM FROM A GAS CONTAINING SELENIUM TOGETHER WITH ALDEHYDE AND NITRILE PRODUCED FROM THE OXIDATION OF UNSATURATED HYDROCARBONS, COMPRISING (1) SPRAYING WATER INTO A STREAM OF THE GAS TO COLLECT THE SELENIUM, THE WATER HAVING A PH OF 7 TO 9 AND A TEMPERATURE BELOW 50* C., (2) SEPARATING THE RESULTANT SELENIUM-CONTAINING WATER FROM THE RESULTANT GAS-LIQUID MIXTURE IN A GAS-LIQUID SEPARATION ZONE, (3) ATOMIZING THE SELENIUM-CONTAINING WATER IN MOLECULAR OXYGEN-CONTAINING GAS, (4) CONTACTING THE RESULTANT ATOMIZED MIXTURE WITH OXIDE OF A METAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF COPPER, IRON AND NICKEL AT A TEMPERATURE OF MINIMALLY 500* C. WHEREBY SELENIUM IS OXIDIZED TO SELENIUM DIOXIDE, AND (5) CONDENSING THE RESULTANT GASEOUS SELENIUM DIOXIDEWATER MIXTURE BY COOLING.
