A PROCESS FOR SEPARATING LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT PHENOLIC COMPONDS OF THE GROUP CONSISTING OF PHENOL, CRESOLS, ETHYLPHENOLS AND XYLENOLS FROM A PHENOLIC COMPOUND-CONTAINING MIXTURE, WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING SAID MIXTURE WITH AQUEOUS HEXAMETHYLENE TETRAMINE AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW 180* F. WHEREBY THERE ARE FORMED COMPLEXES OF SAID HEXAMETHYLENE TETRAMINE AND SAID LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS, SEPARATING A LIQUID COMPLEX PHASE FROM SAID MIXTURE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ANTI-SOLVENT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF PARAFFINIC AND NAPHTHENIC HYDROCARBONS AND MIXTURES THEREOF, DECOMPOSING SAID SEPARATED COMPLEX PHASE BY CONTACT WITH AN OXYGENATED HYDROCARBON SOLVENT HAVING A HIGH SOLVENT POWER FOR TAR ACIDS AND A LOW SOLVENT POWER FOR HEXAMETHYLENE TETRAMINE AND WATER AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW 180* F. WHEREBY SAID LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT PHENOLS ARE LIBERATED FROM SAID COMPLEX.
