METHOD FOR SEPARATING 2,6-DIMETHYLNAPHTHALENE WITH HIGH PURITY

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for separating 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene with high purity is provided which solves the problem of loss of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene and economical efficiency due to addition of the pre-treatment process and easily obtains the 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene with high purity. CONSTITUTION: A method comprises steps of: (i) selectively separating the mixture of dimethylnaphthalene isomer containing 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene from naphthalene mixture containing dimethylnaphthalene isomers by fractional distillation or recrystallization; and (ii) separating the 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene from the mixture of dimethylnaphthalene isomer containing 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene by pressure crystallization using solvent.
