Abstract
A method for recovering a catalyst, wherein a solution containing a reaction mixture obtained by performing a hydrogenation reaction in a presence of a catalyst containing a platinum group metal is brought into contact with a fiber membrane having a group containing an amino group or a thiol group on a surface, thereby recovering the platinum group metal included in the solution is provided.
Claims5
A method for removing a platinum group metal from a solution containing a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer and the platinum group metal, the hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer being obtained by hydrogenating a conjugated diene polymer in an organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst containing the platinum group metal, the method comprising:
- contacting the solution with a fiber membrane having a group containing an amino group or a thiol group on a surface so as to make the fiber membrane adsorb the platinum group metal, thereby removing at least part of the platinum group metal included in the solution;
- wherein the solution is contacted with the fiber membrane by filtering the solution with the fiber membrane at a space velocity (SV) in the range of 100 to 2,000 (1/hr).
A method for removing a platinum group metal from a solution containing a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer and the platinum group metal, the hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer being obtained by hydrogenating a conjugated diene polymer in an organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst containing the platinum group metal, the method comprising:
- contacting the solution with silica having a group containing an amino group or a thiol group on a surface so as to make the silica adsorb the platinum group metal, thereby removing at least part of the platinum group metal included in the solution;
- wherein the solution is contacted with the silica by flowing the solution into a column filled with the silica at a space velocity (SV) in the range of 0.1 to 50 (1/hr).
A method for reducing the amount of a platinum group metal in a solution containing a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer and the platinum group metal, the hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer being obtained by hydrogenating a conjugated diene polymer in an organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst containing the platinum group metal, the method comprising:
- contacting the solution with a fiber membrane having a group containing an amino group or a thiol group on a surface so as to make the fiber membrane adsorb the platinum group metal, thereby removing at least part of the platinum group metal included in the solution;
- wherein the solution is contacted with the fiber membrane by filtering the solution with the fiber membrane at a space velocity (SV) in the range of 100 to 2,000 (1/hr).
