==LEACHING AGENT COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF REMOVING METAL FROM CATALYST MATERIAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18053848 titled 'LEACHING AGENT COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF REMOVING METAL FROM CATALYST MATERIAL

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a leaching agent composition using oxidized disulfide oil (ODSO) to remove metal from catalyst material, replacing commonly used leaching acids like sulfuric or nitric acid.

* ODSO is derived from a refinery waste stream.
* ODSO can remove active phase metals and/or contaminant metals from catalyst material.
* ODSO can be used after typical oil removal and drying steps in the metal removal process.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in industries where catalyst materials are used, such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental sectors.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Efficient removal of metals from catalyst material.
2. Utilization of refinery waste stream for a useful purpose.

== Benefits ==
1. Cost-effective metal removal process.
2. Environmentally friendly by utilizing waste stream.
3. Reduced reliance on traditional leaching acids.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimizing catalyst material production processes in various industries.

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to using alternative leaching agents for metal removal in catalyst material processing. Research into similar waste stream utilization in industrial processes may also exist.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

== How does the efficiency of metal removal using ODSO compare to traditional leaching acids like sulfuric or nitric acid? ==
The article does not provide a direct comparison between ODSO and traditional leaching acids in terms of efficiency and effectiveness in metal removal processes.

== What are the potential environmental impacts of using ODSO for metal removal in catalyst material processing? ==
The article does not address the potential environmental impacts of using ODSO, such as any byproducts or waste generated during the metal removal process.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A leaching agent composition, and a method of using the leaching acid composition to remove metal from catalyst material, are provided in which the leaching agent composition comprises oxidized disulfide oil (ODSO). Active phase metals and/or contaminant metals are removed, for example after typical oil removal and drying steps. Advantageously, ODSO, which is derived from a refinery waste stream, is used to replace and/or supplement commonly used leaching acid such as sulfuric or nitric acid to remove metals used in catalyst preparation or contaminant metals deposited onto the catalyst surface.
