To recover the antimony contained in a solution of use antimony-containing catalyst, emananting from units for the fluorination or chlorofluorination of halogenated hydrocarbons comprising at least two carbon atoms, the solution is concentrated to the limit of distillation of antimony trichloride, an excess of chlorine is then added to convert SbCl3 to SbCl5, and SbCl5 is distilled under reduced pressure without exceeding 120 DEG C. The recoverd antimony pentachloride is sufficiently pure to be able to be recycled directly to the fluorination reactor. |
