Abstract: A process for the separation of dichlorobenzene mixtures containing m- and p-dichlorobenzene in which: (i) the mixture is as an extracting agent contacted with a phosphoric ester of the general formula (I) as an extracting agent in which R1, R2 and R3 are identical or different and represent an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alkyl or alkenyl radical and R1, R2, and R3 together contain at least 3C-atom and not more than 12 C-atoms, or a mixture of different phosphoric esters (I) of formula or is contacted with a phosphine oxide of the general formula (II) as an extracting agent in which R1, R2 and R3 are identical or different and represent an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alkyl or alkenyl radical or hydrogen, and R1, R2 and R3 together contain at least 3 C-atoms and not more than 12 C-atoms, or a mixture of different phosphine oxides of formula (II) or a mixture of said phosphoric esters of formula (I) and phosphine oxides of formula (II), and subsequently (ii) the components of the mixture are

Abstract: A process for the separation of dichlorobenzene mixtures containing m- and p-dichlorobenzene by means of extractive rectification using an extracting agent is described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for separating aluminium from chlorosilanes, in particular for separating aluminium trichloride from silicon tetrachloride or trichlorosilane or from mixtures of silicon tetrachloride or trichlorosilane. According to the invention, aluminium chloride is removed from the chlorosilanes silicon tetrachloride and trichlorosilane in a continuous process, without the addition of admixtures, to obtain a residual content of aluminium that is as low as required, by separating the aluminium trichloride and the chlorosilane by distillation, at a temperature approximately greater than 160° C.
