Recovery of cobalt chloride and iron oxide red from spent cobalt-containing catalyst using chemical seperation method is researched.The results show that purity of cobalt chloride(CoCl2·6H2O) is more than 96%,and recovery rate is more than 84%;purity of iron oxide red is more than 65%,and recovery rate of iron is more than 88%;the process is feasible and has cosiderable economic benefits.
