ABSTRACT:
p-Xylene cannot be separated from m-xylene by distillation or rectification because of the proximity of their boiling points. p-Xylene can be separated from m-xylene by means of extractive distillation. Effective agents are 3-ethylphenol and isopropyl palmitate. Effective agents for separating mixtures of p-xylene, m-xylene and o-xylene are 2-butoxyethyl acetate and 1,1,1-trichloroethane.
