Abstract
Methanol and cyclohexane are recovered from a condensed methanol-cyclohexane azeotrope by allowing the condensed azeotrope to separate in a vessel into an upper phase rich in cyclohexane and a lower phase rich in methanol, fractionating the upper phase in a first column whereby the methanol-cyclohexane azeotrope is taken off the top and returned to the vessel while cyclohexane is removed from the lower portion of the first column, and fractionating the lower phase in a second column whereby the methanol-cyclohexane azeotrope is taken off the top and returned to the vessel while methanol is removed from the lower portion of the second column.
