Abstract The paper presents a process for the obtaining of the MALTOL (I) and CYCLOTEN (II) compounds of a purity higher than 99% by separation from wood tar as follows: (1) steaming of the I + II mixture (preferably in the presence of the ammonium sulphate in order to increase the amount of involved compounds); (2) L/L selective extraction of the I + II mixture in the aqueous phase steamed at two pH values (with chloroform at pH = 7 and carbon tetrachloride at pH << 1); (3) separation of the I and II compounds from the I + II mixture based on the insolubility of the pirylium salt (I H + Cl-) in chloroform; (4) purification of the isolated I-II compounds. Because the steaming technique is used on a large scale for the obtaining of finite wood tar the process also allows the purification of the industrial waters which may be recycled or drained (after a biological treatment); the result is an oily secondary product which may be further processed to obtain other compounds.
