Abstract
Process for separating benzene and/or toluene from mixtures thereof with saturated hydrocarbons, by extractive distillation using an aliphatic N-alkylamide as extraction solvent, comprising introducing in the distillation column, above the level of introduction of the extraction solvent, liquid water in an amount and under such conditions that said water is completely vaporized without substantially diluting the solvent, condensing the vapors discharged from the top of the column and dividing the resulting condensate into a phase of liquid saturated hydrocarbons, and a phase of water.
