    摘要: The present invention includes a method for emptying a reactor containing at least one bed of spent catalyst particles and that comprises at least one dump tube, which opens into the reactor in the bottom portion of the bed of particles or underneath the latter. The method comprises the following:



    a first step of causing a proportion of the catalyst bed to flow out of the reactor via said dump tube; then
    a second step of expelling out of the reactor the catalyst remainder, by driving towards the opening of the dump tube the catalyst particles remaining in the reactor at the end of the first step, this step being performed by means of a removable device introduced into the reactor via the dump tube,

    and is characterised in that said removable device comprises an articulated arm bearing one or more protuberances spirally disposed about a rotary axis.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is a method for recycling a metal or several metals M selected from among those belonging to the columns 8 to 12 of the periodic table of elements, present at least partially in the form of metal sulphides in a porous material A comprising at least one mineral oxide and having a sulphur content higher than or equal to 2% by weight. Said method comprises the following successive steps:



    (1) at least one step of heat treatment of the material A in the presence of oxygen, at a temperature comprised within the range from 350° C. to 900° C.;
    (2) at least one step of washing the material A′ derived from step (1) by means of an aqueous solvent;
    (3) at least one step of extracting the metal(s) M by setting the material A″ derived from step (2) in contact with a solution S containing at least one carboxylic acid; and
    (4) at least one step of depositing at least one portion of the metal(s) M over a porous material B different from said material A, by setting the solution S′ derived from step (3) in contact with said material B.

    摘要: The invention includes a method for treating a spent catalyst containing at least one refractory mineral oxide, one or more metals in the form of sulfide(s) chosen from the following metals: molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, tungsten, vanadium, and carbon compounds, the method comprising: a) in a smelting furnace preparing a melt of cast iron with a layer of slag; b) introducing into the furnace said spent catalyst and placing it in contact with the slag and the melt of cast iron, while maintaining the furnace in rotation and while injecting an oxidizing gas containing oxygen, above the mixture, to cause the combustion of the carbon and/or sulfur compounds; c) extracting from the furnace by sequential castings the slag formed in step b) to recover a cast iron melt enriched with metal or metals, and recover a slag containing the components of the catalyst other than metals, with the exception of vanadium.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for limiting the emission of dust from catalyst grains. Said method comprises the following two consecutive steps: a first step of performing a heat treatment of the catalyst grains at a temperature no lower than 100° C., followed by a second step of coating the surface of the catalyst grains by placing same in contact with one or more coating materials having a melting point T no lower than 45° C. and which are injected in a solid state, said second step being carried out with no further addition of heat, at a temperature of T−60° C. to T−1° C., while remaining no lower than 40° C.
