US Classification:

423509

Abstract:

A process for the recovery of selenium from a urethane solution containing selenium compounds which may be in the form of metallic selenium, inorganic selenium and/or organoselenium compounds which comprises contacting the selenium-containing urethane solution at suitable temperatures with a supported metal or a mixture of metals and/or metal oxide compounds, said metal selectively chosen from Group B metals, i. e. , Group IB through VIIIB, metals of the Periodic Table and particularly supported copper and mixtures of copper and other metal oxide compounds of said group.
