METHOD FOR RECOVERING SOLID MOLYBDENUM COMPOUNDS (Docket No. 80,697-F) A process for substantially completely removing a minor amount of molybdenum dissolved in a substantially anhydrous organic solution, such as a heavy distillation fraction resulting from the removal of unreacted propylene, propylene oxide and tertiary butyl alcohol from an epoxidation reaction mixture: wherein from about 1 to about 10 wt.% of an aqueous solution of sodium meta borate containing from about 1 to about 10 wt.% of dissolved sodium meta borate is added to an organic solution containing dissolved molybdenum catalyst in an amount sufficient to provide a molar excess of sodium meta borate, based on the gram atoms of dissolved molybdenum in said organic solution, to provide a mixture, wherein the mixture is maintained at a temperature ranging from about ambient temperature up to about 100.degree.C. at a pressure of about 0 to about 1,000 psig. for about 0.5 to about 5 hours, sufficient to precipitate at least about 95 mol% of the soluble molybdenum from the mixture, and wherein the mixture is filtered to obtain a filtrate containing not more than about 100 ppm of molybdenum.
