A method is disclosed for the separation of aromates from hydrocarbon mixtures employed as entry products, by means of extractive distillation, employing as selective solvent N-substituted morpholine, the substitutions of which display no more than 7 C atoms. The raffinate produced as top product of the extractive distillation is subjected to a distillation, whereby the produced sump product with a solvent content between 20-75% by weight and a temperature between 20 DEG -70 DEG C., is led into a separation container and there separated into a heavy and a light phase. The heavy phase is then recycled into the extractive distillation column, whereas the light phase is recycled into the raffinate distillation column. |
