The isolation and regeneration of catalysts of type I or II ClRh(CO)(PR3)2I HRh(CO)(PR3)3II, where the R's are identical or different hydrocarbon radicals, to give the catalysts in a pure form, is effected by regenerating aqueous rhodium salt solutions, as obtained on treating distillation residues of hydroformylation mixtures with oxygen-containing mineral acids and peroxides, by a method wherein the said aqueous rhodium salt solutions are treated with a cation exchanger, the latter is then separated from the solution, the absorbed rhodium ions are desorbed with hydrochloric acid, the hexachlororhodate solutions, containing hydrochloric acid, are reacted, in the presence of a water-soluble organic solvent and a tertiary phosphine PR3, with carbon monoxide, or with compounds which eliminate carbon monoxide, at from 0 DEG to 150 DEG C and from 1 to 5 bars, and the resulting complexes I or, if the process is carried out under hydrogenating conditions, the resulting complexes II, are separated off. |
