A simple and inexpensive process is described for reducing the concentration of N-nitroso-containing compounds. The process is applicable for compositions comprising N-nitroso-containing compounds and other desired compounds wherein the N-nitroso-containing compounds thermally decompose at a temperature below the decomposition temperature of the desired compounds. For compositions comprising N-nitroso-pendimethalin in Pendimethalin, the process requires heating the mixture to a temperature greater than about 120 DEG C., and holding the Pendimethalin at that temperature for a time effective to decompose the N-nitroso-pendimethalin present in the mixture. Volatile decomposition products are advantageously removed from the composition. |
