Abstract
Abstract Trace amounts of catalysts which are present in products resulting from organic reactions, such as rhodium which is present in the alcohol products resulting from a hydroformylation reaction, may be removed by treating the aforesaid products with a solid adsorbent such as a metal compound of Groups IA or IIA of the Periodic Table, molecular sieves or ion-exchange resins at a temperature in the range of from about ambient to about 100° C. and a pressure in the range of from about atmospheric to about 100 atmospheres.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
A process for the recovery of rhodium metal complex catalyst from a liquid hydroformylation alcohol reaction product obtained from treatment of an olefinic hydrocarbon with hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the presence of said rhodium metal complex catalyst at hydroformylation conditions, which recovery process comprises treating said hydroformylation alcohol reaction product with an effective amount of ammonia to remove the bulk of the rhodium contained therein, separating the alcohol product solution containing residual amounts of rhodium, thereafter contacting said solution with solid calcium sulfate at adsorption conditions to separate such residual rhodium from the solution and recovering rhodium valves.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The process as set forth in claim 1 in which said adsorption conditions include a temperature in the range of from about ambient to about 100° C. and a pressure in the range of from about atmospheric to about 100 atmospheres.
