ABSTRACT:
A solution of a di-alkyl carbonate, e.g. dimethyl carbonate, in the corresponding alcohol, e.g. methanol, is concentrated by contacting the solution with a hydrophobic zeolite e.g. silicalite. The di-alkyl carbonate is absorbed preferentially. Where the solution also contains water, e.g. as in the case of the products from certain di-alkyl carbonate synthesis reactions, the water can be removed using a hydrophilic zeolite prior to recycle of the alcohol.
