as defined by the appended claims the azeotrope forming mixtures which can be used in accordance with the process of the invention will depend on a number of factors including the specific liquid to be removed the amount to be removed and the desired speed of the drying step when an azeotrope forming mixture includes two solvents it is only essential that they form immiscible layers one of which includes a major portion of the liquid being removed and that the other layer be effective in removing the liquid from the material being dried as used herein the term 34 azeotrope 34 refers generally to the mixed solvent systems that distill universally at a constant composition at a given temperature and pressure the layer that tends to be rich in the liquid being removed preferably is maintained as a minor portion of the total volume of the solvent bath the liquid to be removed will be distributed into a solvent drying system the partition coefficients of which favor the concentration of this liquid in one of the separate immiscible layers examples of mixtures which favor such distribution include the following butanol water methanol chloroform water and 2 3 dichloropropanol water others will be apparent to those skilled in this art turning to fig1 a preferred embodiment of the method of the invention will be described wet web.
