For treating petrochemical catalysts for the selective extraction of molybdenum therefrom, a plant and a process are proposed for extracting the molybdenum by charging a batch of catalysts to a rotary kiln of which the refractory is heated or preheated to a high temperature, and setting the kiln in rotation so that the catalyst charge undergoes constant renewal of the surface in contact with the superheated refractory. The catalyst charge is brought to temperatures of the order of 1300° C. (1250 to 1350° C.), which allow around 95% of the molybdenum present to sublime.

The invention concerns a method, utilising an oxy-gas or oxy-fuel or oxy-carbon burner, for melting used alkaline, saline or zinc-air batteries or Ni-Cd or Ni-MH accumulators or black mass. The method is characterised in that the used batteries, accumulators or black mass are loaded into a melting vessel (1) in which an iron-based liquid metal bath (3) and, above the bath, a layer of slag (5), has previously been established, and in that this layer of slag is used as a buffer in order to avoid direct contact of the batteries or accumulators with the liquid metal of the bath (3) and as a carrier for heat transfer and as a reduction medium of metal oxides contained in the batteries and accumulators and the black mass. The invention can be used for recycling used batteries and accumulators.
