Abstract
Formic acid cannot be easily removed from formic acid-acetic acid mixtures by distillation because of the closeness of their boiling points. Formic acid can be readily removed from mixtures containing it and acetic acid by extractive distillation. Typical effective agents are 2-nitrotoluene, 1-nitropropane and m-nitrobenzoic acid.
