A process suitable for recovering refractory metal carbide values from contaminated uncemented refractory metal carbides containing an iron group metal comprises heating an admixture of the powders of the contaminated refractory metal carbides and glacial acetic acid to the boiling point of the admixture for at least about 30 minutes, the weight of the powders divided by the weight of the acid is less than 5, thereafter removing the resulting carbide solids from the acid and washing the solids with sufficient water to remove the residual acid and drying the solids.

Heteropoly acids of tungsten and molybdenum, such as tungstosilicic acid and molybdosilicic acid, are produced by first preparing an aqueous solution of an alkali metal tungstate or molybdate and an alkali metal salt of the hetero atom, and then removing the alkali metal cations from the solution by means of a cation exchange membrane under the influence of an applied electrical potential, whereby the reactive tungstate or molybdate and hetero species anions react to form the desired heteropoly acid.

A process is disclosed for recovering scandium from a tungsten bearing material containing tungsten, iron manganese and scandium. The process involves digesting the material in an aqueous solution selected from the group consisting of a saturated solution of sulfur dioxide and a sulfuric acid solution containing an additional reducing agent at a sufficient temperature for a sufficient time to form a digestion solution containing the major portion of the scandium, iron, and manganese, and a digestion solid containing the major portion of the tungsten which is separated from the digestion solution. The major portion of the scandium is extracted from the digestion solution with an organic consisting essentially of an extracting agent which is essentially a mixture of alkyl primary amines which are present in an amount sufficient to extract the major portion of the scandium without extracting appreciable amounts of iron and manganese, and the balance an essentially aromatic solvent. After separation of the scandium containing organic from the raffinate, the organic is stripped of the scandium with hydrochloric acid which is then separated from the stripped organic. In an optional additional steps, iron is recovered by adjusting the pH of the raffinate to precipitate the major portion of the iron and manganese which is separated from the resulting liquor. A sufficient amount of chlorine gas is contacted with an aqueous slurry of the precipitate at a sufficient temperature for a sufficient time to form a manganese containing solution containing the major portion of the manganese which was in the precipitate and a solid containing the major portion of the iron which was in the precipitate.

The raffinate is adjusted to a pH of at least about 3.5 with a base to precipitate the major portion of the iron and manganese which is separated from the resulting liquor. A sufficient amount of chlorine gas is contacted with an aqueous slurry of the precipitate at a sufficient temperature for a sufficient time to form a manganese containing solution containing the major portion of the manganese which was in the precipitate and a solid containing the major portion of the iron which was in the precipitate.

A process is disclosed for producing ammonium paratungstate which involves adding hexamethylenetetramine to a first solution of ammonium tungstate, adjusting the pH to about 2 with an acid to form a precipitate which contains the major portion of the tungsten and the hexamethylenetetramine and separating the precipitate from the resulting mother liquor. The tungsten hexamethylenetetramine precipitate is then dissolved in aqueous ammonia to form a second ammonium tungstate solution which is then heated at from about 90.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C. to form a precipitate essentially all of which is ammonium paratungstate and a mother liquor which contains essentially all of the hexamethylenetetramine. The ammonium paratungstate precipitate is then separated from the mother liquor.

A process is disclosed for recovering cobalt and chromium from a cobalt and chromium containing alloy. The process involves first digesting the alloy in concentrated hydrochloric acid at a sufficient temperature for a sufficient time to form a first solution containing the major portion of the cobalt, chromium, and any iron and nickel present in the alloy and a first solid and separating the first solution from the first solid. Oxalic acid is then added to the first solution in an amount sufficient to subsequently precipitate the major portion of the cobalt and any iron and nickel contained in the first solution followed by adjustment of the ph to from about 1 to about 2 with a base and maintaining the temperature below about 20.degree. for a sufficient time to form a second solid containing the major portion of the cobalt and the major portion of any iron and nickel which is present in the first solution and a second solution containing the major portion of the chromium which is present in the first solution and separation of the second solid from the second solution. The second solid is then washed with sufficient water to remove any water soluble impurities and separated from the resulting wash water. The resulting washed second solid is then contacted with a calcium chloride solution of sufficient calcium chloride concentration, at a sufficient temperature, for a sufficient time to form a third solution containing the major portion of the cobalt which was present in the second solid, and a third solid. The third solution is then separated from the third solid.

In a process for producing fine cobalt metal powder from scrap material containing brazing compositions, the scrap is digested with hydrochloric acid to form a cobalt chloride solution which the silver is removed by precipitation with a suitable alkali metal halide at a pH of about 7 to result in a cobalt amine chloride solution which is further processed to fine cobalt powder.

Cobalt is recovered from byproduct streams from a basic process by contacting the byproduct streams with aluminum metal for a sufficient period of time to produce cobalt metal as a precipitate. The basic process is the type wherein cobalt ions in solution are complexed with ammonia in the presence of halide ions to form an ammine halide solution from which a cobalt containing precipitate is separated. The precipitate is subsequently reduced to form a cobalt metal powder.
