Since the boiling points of DIPNs were very close and the differences of melting points in-between isomers were quite distinctive, the static melt crystallization was applied to separate and purify 2,6-DIPN from its isomers. 2,6-DIPN with purity ≥99% was produced through a process of three stages: crystallization→sweating→melting. The phase diagram of 2,6-DIPN-2,7-DIPN binary system was plotted to opti- mize the temperature control of crystallization. By repeated crystallization of melts with different concentration levels, the yield of pure 2,6-DIPN could be enhanced to 87%. No solvent was necessary.
