Isopropyl ether cannot be completely removed from isopropyl ether-isopropanol-water mixtures by distillation because of the presence of the minimum ternary azeotrope. Isopropyl ether can be readily removed from mixtures containing it, isopropanol and water by using extractive distillation in which the extractive distillation agent is a higher boiling oxygenated, nitrogenous and/or sulfur containing organic compound or a mixture of these. Typical examples of effective agents are ethylene glycol; dimethylsulfoxide plus propylene glycol; dimethylsulfoxide plus dimethylformamide plus diethylene glycol diethyl ether.
