The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture and
separation of dinitrile compounds.It relates more particularly to a
process for the manufacture and separation of dinitrile compounds from a
medium originating from the hydrocyanation of unsaturated
mononitriles.The invention consists in feeding the medium comprising the
dinitriles to a distillation column and then recovering the purified
dinitriles as intermediate fraction, the heavy products being removed as
column tail fraction and the light products, including the unsaturated
mononitriles, being recovered as top fraction.
