Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the monitoring and control of operating parameters of a machine for the continuous casting of strips between rolls, including the torque exerted on at least one of the rolls to cause the strip to advance and/or the stress exerted by the strip on at least one of the journals and/or the temperature of the strip as it leaves the rolls and permanently measuring the deviation between the instantaneous value of one of these parameters and the mean value of this parameter over a period of time immediately beforehand. If this deviation exceeds a reference deviation, the casting speed of the machine is reduced until the deviation again becomes less than the reference deviation. The speed of the casting machine is then increased for as long as this deviation remains lower than the reference deviation.

Abstract: In this process for recovering noble metals of group VIII from a contaminated catalyst solution originating from the carbonylation of methyl acetate and/or dimethylether (the catalyst solution containing carbonyl complexes of these noble metals, organic or inorganic promoters, undistillable organic contaminants as well as volatiles) the volatiles are distillatively removed from the catalyst solution and the remaining distillation residue is water-treated, whereby the noble metal/carbonyl-complex is precipitated together with the organic contaminants and is separated from the aqueous phase, while the promotor is dissolved and recovered in conventional manner. The noble metals are then set free in elemental form by subjecting the noble metal/carbonyl-complex separated and contaminated with organic polymers at temperatures of 150 DEG  to 300 DEG  C. to treatment with an ethyleneglycoldialkylether solvent of the formula R(-OCH2-CH2)n-OR, in which n stands for a number of from 1 to 4 and R stands for identical or different alkyl groups having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The noble metal can then be recovered by filtration, and the solvent can be freed of organic contaminants by distillation.
