PROCESS FOR SEPARATING LINEAR-CHAIN OXO-ALCOHOLS FROMMIXTURES OF LAYER AND BRANCHED-CHAIN OXO-ALCOHOLSABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREA mixture of linear and branched-chain detergent oxo-alcohols, contai-Ding from 11 to 16 carbon atoms in the molecule, is dissolved in ahydrocarbon or ether solvent, and the solution thus obtained is cooledto obtain a dispersion of a solid phase in a liquid phase.Said solid phase constituted by the linear-chain oxo-alcohol fractionis separated and recovered. The branched-chain oxo-alcohol fractionis separated and recovered from the liquid phase.
