Abstract

Metal values including those of cobalt, vanadium, aluminum, molybdenum and tungsten are recovered from spent petroleum refining catalyst by acid leaching the metal values except those of molybdenum or tungsten, separating the resulting solution from the leach residue and selectively recovering the cobalt, vanadium and aluminum values from the solution and recovering the molybdenum and tungsten values from the leach residue.
