    Abstract: 1,218,337. Separation of nitromethane and nitroethane. COMMERCIAL SOLVENTS CORP. 9 July, 1969 [26 Aug., 1968], No. 34619/69. Heading C2C. Mixtures of nitromethane and nitroethane are separated by (a) adding n-pentane or isopentane or a mixture thereof to the nitromethane-nitroethane mixture in an amount sufficient to initiate co-distillation with the nitromethane when the mixture is heated, (b) heating the mixture to effect separation of the nitromethane by co-distillation of the nitromethane with the pentane thereby producing a distillate and a residue, (b) condensing the distillate thereby producing a condensate which divides into an upper layer and a lower layer, the lower layer comprising nitromethane substantially free from nitroethane, and separating said layers, and (d) continuing the heating to effect distillation of pentane from the residue, thereby producing as the final residue, nitroethane substantially free from nitromethane. The pentane is generally added in an amount of from 1 to 4 parts by weight per part of nitromethane.
