Abstract
Toluene cannot be separated from methyl isobutyl ketone by conventional distillation or rectification because of the minimum boiling azeotrope. Toluene can be readily separated from methyl isobutyl ketone by using azeotropic distillation. Typical examples of effective agents are 1-butanol, 2-methoxyethanol and n-heptane.
