Abstract

Ethyleneamines are efficiently recovered from an aqueous solution thereof by extracting them from the aqueous solution into an organic phase with an extractant selected from carbonyl group-containing organic solvents, benzyl alcohol, carboxylic acids and salts thereof, alkylphosphoric acids and salts thereof, and mixed solvents containing at least one of these extractants. The ethyleneamines in the organic phase is recovered preferably from the organic phase to the aqueous phase by incorporating an acid therein, followed by phase separation.
