<p>The present invention concerns a process for the removal of a salt from a salt-containing organic mixture, which process comprises, in a first step, adding water to the salt-containing organic mixture in order to form a water-containing organic mixture, in a second step, allowing the mixture to settle in a settling zone into an organic upper phase, and an aqueous lower phase, and in a third step, separating the organic phase from the aqueous phase, whereby the water-containing mixture is conducted to the settling zone of the second step through a line in which the mixture is allowed to mix and the salts are allowed to dissolve into the water. Further, the invention concerns an apparatus for neutralizing an acid-containing organic mixture and for subsequently removing salts from the neutralized organic mixture.</p> |
