Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to a method for the purification of cadaverine from an aqueous cadaverine composition comprising one or more involatile impurities, the method comprising obtaining cadaverine from evaporation or distillation of the aqueous cadaverine composition wherein one or more solvents are added to the evaporation/distillation system before the evaporation/distillation starts, during the evaporation/distillation and/or after the evaporation/distillation substantially stops when no more evaporation/distillation is observed; wherein the one or more solvents comprise at least one or more high boiling point (HBP) solvents. In certain embodiments, cadaverine may be evaporated/distilled at an unexpectedly lower heating temperature for an unexpectedly shorter heating time to provide a desired yield. Because cadaverine may decompose at high temperature, the unexpectedly lower heating temperature and unexpectedly shorter heating time decrease the undesired cadaverine decomposition.
