Since N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is an easily colored substance, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone recovered from various uses is generally colored. A method for obtaining N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone without color from such colored recovered N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone has been studied, but a satisfactory method has not yet been known. For example, if colored N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is treated with an adsorbent such as activated carbon, the coloring can be temporarily removed, but the color is recolored during storage. Collection N
In order to increase the value of -methyl-2-pyrrolidone, it is necessary to develop a purification method which gives N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone with less coloring over time. Therefore, the present invention provides N-methyl-2 with less coloring with time from recovered N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.
