A process for treating acid mine drainage containing heavy metals and soluble contaminants is provided. In one embodiment, at least a metal cation is added to the acid mine drainage at a pre-select pH to form insoluble heavy metal complexes. In one embodiment, the metal cation is a trivalent metal ion, e.g., ferric iron such as in ferric sulfate. In another embodiment, a divalent metal ion such as in ferrous sulfate is used. After the removal of the heavy metal complexes, the effluent water is treated with at least a phosphate additive to remove remaining soluble contaminants, thus producing a treated water stream with reduced levels of contaminants.

A process for treating spent catalyst containing heavy metals, e.g., Group VIB metals and Group VIII metals is provided. In one embodiment after deoiling, the spent catalyst is treated with an ammonia leach solution under conditions sufficient to dissolve the group VIB metal and the Group VIII metal into the leaching solution, forming a leach slurry. After solid-liquid separation to recover a leach solution, chemical precipitation and solids repulping is carried out to obtain an effluent stream containing ammonium sulfate (Amsul), ammonium sulfamate, Group VB, Group VIB and Group VIII metals. Following sulfidation, the Group VIII metal is fully removed and Group VB and Group VI metals are partially removed from the Amsul stream. In the additional steps of oxydrolysis and iron precipitation, an effective amount of ferric ion at a pre-select pH is added to form insoluble complexes with the Group VB and Group VIB metals, which upon liquid-solid separation produces an effluent ammonium sulfate stream containing less than 10 ppm each of the Group VB and Group VIB metals.

A process for treating acid mine drainage containing heavy and base metals and soluble contaminants is provided. In one embodiment, at least a metal cation is added to the acid mine drainage at a pre-select pH to form insoluble heavy and base metal complexes. After the removal of the heavy and base metal complexes, the pH is raised to the alkaline range. Following removal of base metal hydroxides and gypsum, membrane filtration is employed to generate a treated membrane permeate having a reduced concentration of heavy and base metals and soluble contaminants, and a membrane reject stream containing a concentrated brine. The concentrated brine is further treated with additional lime and at least an aluminum salt to remove remaining soluble contaminants, thus producing a treated water stream with reduced levels of contaminants. Carbonation with CO2 is employed at the end of the process to neutralize flows and further precipitate residual aluminum and calcium salts.

A method for recovering vanadium from a spent slurry catalyst for hydrocarbon oil hydroprocessing is disclosed. In one embodiment after de-oiling, the spent catalyst is treated with ammonia and air, forming a leach slurry. The leach slurry is subsequently treated with a flocculant. After solid-liquid separation to recover the solid residue containing coke and ammonium metavanadate, the solid residue is washed with an ammonium sulfate solution and leached with hot water. After solid-liquid separation to recover a solution containing ammonium metavanadate, the ammonium metavanadate is crystallized and purified from the leach solution.

A process for preparing a slurry catalyst for the upgrade of heavy oil feedstock is provided. The process employs a pressure leach solution obtained from a metal recovery process as part of the metal precursor feed. In one embodiment, the process comprises: sulfiding a pressure leach solution having at least a Group VIB metal precursor compound in solution forming a catalyst precursor, and mixing the sulfided catalyst precursor with a hydrocarbon diluent to form the slurry catalyst. In another embodiment, the pressure leach solution is mixed with a hydrocarbon diluent under high shear mixing conditions to form an emulsion, which emulsion can be sulfided in-situ upon contact with a heavy oil feedstock in the heavy oil upgrade process.

This application provides a metallurgical extraction technique, comprising: a) re-pulping a feed filter cake to make a filter cake slurry; b) grinding the filter cake slurry; c) leaching the ground filter cake slurry in a hot alkaline cyanide solution to provide dissolved platinum group metals; d) liquid-solid separating of the dissolved platinum group metals; and e) recovering the dissolved platinum group metals by cementing the dissolved platinum group metals with a precipitating metal comprising an aluminum or a zinc; wherein the feed filter cake has the platinum group metals at a total amount from 0.1 to 1.5 wt % and a halide anion content from zero to less than 4 wt %. This application provides a process for platinum group metal recovery, comprising: converting a catalyst which was in contact with a water reactive ionic liquid catalyst into a non-water reactive filter cake and extracting the platinum group metals.
