Purification of indole contained in model coal tar absorption oil was examined by extraction-distillation-crystallizationcombination. The absorption oil consists of nine components such as four kinds of nitrogen heterocyclic compounds (9.2%quinoline, 2.4% iso-quinoline, 4.7% indole, 2.4% quinaldine), three kinds of bicyclic aromatic compounds (14.2% 1-methylnaphthalene,31.8% 2-methylnaphthalene, 23.5% dimethylnaphthalene), 5.5% biphenyl and 3.3% phenyl ether. 99.5% indolewas recovered by combination of formamide extraction-distillation-solute crystallization using n-hexane. Furthermore, the recoveryprocess of indole contained in coal tar absorption oil was studied by using the experimental results obtained by eachoperation of this work.

추출-증류-결정의 조합에 의해 모델 콜타르 흡수유 중에 함유된 인돌의 정제를 검토했다. 흡수유는 4종류의 질소고리화합물(9.2% 퀴놀린, 2.4% 이소퀴놀린, 4.7% 인돌, 2.4% 퀴날딘), 3종류의 2환 방향족 화합물(14.2% 1-메틸나프탈렌,31.8% 2-메틸나프탈렌, 23.5% 디메틸나프탈렌), 5.5% 비페닐과 3.3% 페닐에테르의 9종류의 화합물로 구성되어 있다. 포름아미드 추출-증류-노말헥산을 사용한 용액 결정화의 조합의 채택에 의해 99.5% 인돌을 회수할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 실험적 결과를 이용하여 콜타르 흡수유 중에 함유된 인돌의 회수공정을 검토했다.
