Abstract

The present invention concerns a process in which a gaseous fraction is withdrawn from an intermediate level of a main rectification and subjected to a rectification in an auxiliary zone, the liquid fraction obtained in this auxiliary zone being returned to the said intermediate level of the main rectification.
