[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In chemical synthesis processes, transition metal catalysts dramatically improve the desired reaction rate, thereby increasing their economic efficiency. In particular, in so-called C1 chemistry, Co, Ni,
Transition metal catalysts such as Rh, Pd, and Pt are often used. In chemical synthesis processes using these catalysts, it is necessary to separate the catalysts from the products, especially Rh, Pd.
When using expensive catalysts such as , Pt, Ir, etc., the recovery rate when separating and recovering the catalyst has a great influence on the economic efficiency of the process.

As a conventionally known method for separating a catalyst, there is a method that first takes advantage of the fact that the reaction product has a relatively low boiling point and separates it from a non-volatile catalyst by franching the reaction product. For example, this furanche is used to separate acetic acid and Rh catalyst in the methanol method acetic acid synthesis process.

There is also a method of extraction and separation that takes advantage of the difference in solubility between the reaction product and the catalyst. For example, water or a mixture of water and acetic acid, etc., was added as an extraction solvent to a reaction solution containing an α-phenylpropionic acid derivative, the reaction product phase and the aqueous phase were separated, and the aqueous phase was used as a catalyst. There are methods for extracting and separating rhodium compounds (JP-A-63-149341, JP-A-63-162653).

Furthermore, in order to increase the recovery rate of the catalyst and improve the economic efficiency of the process, it is necessary to recover the catalyst remaining in the reaction products that could not be recovered by the above-mentioned methods such as flashing and extraction separation. As a means of achieving this, a method has been proposed that involves adsorption, separation, and recovery using activated carbon, etc. (

However, the catalyst recovered using this method requires regeneration treatment, and in particular, incorporating a regeneration process for the catalyst adsorbed and recovered using activated carbon into the chemical synthesis process not only complicates the process, but also damages the adsorbent. This is undesirable because it requires multiple processes for handling solids, such as filling, washing, sampling, and transportation, which conflicts with the labor saving of the plant.
