Disclosed is a method for recovering a spent metal-containing homogeneous catalyst using a solid adsorbent selected from bleaching agents, filter aids and mixtures thereof. In particular, the solid adsorbent is selected from bleaching earths, perlites, diatomaceous earths and mixtures thereof. Disclosed is a method for recovering a spent metal-containing homogeneous catalyst including the following steps: (A) providing a solution containing the spent metal-containing homogeneous catalyst, the solution containing at least one solvent selected from water and an organic solvent, (B) adding to the provided solution the solid adsorbent to obtain a suspension of a solid and a solvent, (C) separating the suspension to obtain a purified solvent and the solid adsorbent containing the spent metal-containing homogeneous catalyst adsorbed thereon.

The present invention relates to a synthesis method of N-substituted maleimides using a non-homogeneous solid acid catalyst, and particularly, a synthesis method of N-substituted maleimides with high synthesis yield by using a zirconium(IV) hydrogen phosphate as a catalyst, by which, the loss of the catalyst is minimized, the separation and recovering processes of the catalyst are simplified, in case when the activity of the separated and recovered catalyst is decreased, the complete regeneration of the catalyst is possible via washing or firing, and solvents that could be used during a washing process of the catalyst are not limited.

The present invention relates to a simple process for regenerating a hydroformylation catalyst consisting of a heterogenized catalyst system on a support consisting of a porous ceramic material. The invention also relates to a process for the start-up of the hydroformylation reaction after regeneration according to the invention.

We provide a process for regenerating a used acidic ionic liquid catalyst which has been deactivated by conjunct polymers in a reactor, by removing at least 57 wt % of the conjunct polymers originally present in the used acidic ionic liquid catalyst in a separate regeneration reactor, so as to increase the activity of the catalyst. We also provide a regenerated used acidic ionic liquid catalyst having increased activity.
