This method for recovering methanol is characterized in that an aqueous solution of methanol containing a brominated organic substance is formulated with ≥0.2 the amount of the brominated organic substance of a solvent in which the brominated organic substance is soluble and which is substantially insoluble in water and has a boilingpoint higher than that of methanol and then the aqueous solution of methanol is distilled. 臭素化有機物を含むメタノール水溶液に、前記臭素化有機物が可溶であり、実質的に水に不溶であり、かつメタノールより沸点の高い溶剤を、臭素化有機物の量に対して0.2重量倍以上添加した後、メタノール水溶液を蒸留することを特徴とするメタノールの回収方法を用いる。 - 特許庁
