Abstract

Organic reaction mixtures, particularly of mixtures containing contaminant organic phosphorus compounds and/or sulfur, are worked up by introducing the mixture into water which has been made alkaline and has a temperature of from -10.degree. to +50.degree. C., a pH value of at least 10 being maintained in the resulting mixture, separating the aqueous phase from the sulfur which separates out; and contacting the aqueous phase or the sulfur which has separated out with nitric acid at an elevated temperature and a pH of below 3.
