Abstract

Disclosed is a method of separating a butadiene extracting solvent that forms an azeotrope with vinylcyclohexene from a mixture with vinylcyclohexene. The mixture is cooled to a temperature below 0.degree. C. which results in the formation of a vinylcyclohexene phase over an extracting solvent phase and the two phases are physically separated. Also disclosed is apparatus suitable for performing this process.
