Methanol cannot be completely removed from methanol-methyl acetate mixtures by distillation because of the presence of the minimum binary azeotrope. Methanol can be readily removed from mixtures containing it and methyl acetate by using extractive distillation in which the extractive distillation agent is a higher boiling oxygenated or nitrogenous organic compound or a mixture of these. Typical examples of effective agents are: ethylene glycol phenyl ether, ethylene carbonate, nitromethane, 2-nitrotoluene, 1-nitropropane plus propylene carbonate.
