Residual hydrogenation catalyst produced from reduction of nitrile rubber is recovered by a chelation step using a chelating agent and a series of extraction using semi-coagulation with polar solvents and an optional washing steps for the separation of catalyst-chelating agent complex from hydrogenated nitrile rubber solution. The chelating agent is selected from xanthate, dithiocarbamate, and trithiocarbonate compounds.

The present invention discloses methods for removing volatile components from an ethylene polymer effluent stream from a polymerization reactor, and related polyethylene recovery and volatile removal systems. In these methods and systems, the polymer solids temperature is increased significantly prior to introduction of the polymer solids into a purge column for the final stripping of volatile components from the polymer solids.
