More particularly, te present invention relates a process for recovering eumene, in which 2,3-dimetbyl2,3- ‘iphenyTbutane produeed in a process in which cumene is used, is ellicienfly recovered as curene. BACKGROUND ART Asa process using cumene as a raw material for reaction, there are known a process having steps of converting ‘cumene into cumene hydroperoxide and obtaining propy- Jene oxide from such eumene hydroperoxide and propylene, aprocess of converting cumene ino cumene hydroperoxide fnd oblaining phenol and acetone by subjecting such ‘cumene hyeroperoxide to acidolysis, and the like, Tn those processes, there is a reaction producing 2,3dimethyl23- \iphenylbutane by dimerizing cumene as” an undesirable side-reaction. By-production of 2,3-dimethyl- “diphenyTDutane causes undesirable effets such as consump tion of cumene and obstruction to desired reaction. DISCLOSURE OP THE INVENTION ‘An object of the present invention isto provide a process for recovering cumene, in which 2,3-dimethyl-2,3- diphenyloutane produced in a process in which cumene is used, is eliciently recovered as cumene. Namely, the present invention relates to a process for recovering cumene, which comprises: subjecting 2,3-timethy-2,3-dipheaylbutane produced in process in which cumene is used, to hydrogenolysis in the presence ofa catalyst thereby to i convedt into cumene, and recovering cumene. [BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION ‘As a process using cumene, there can be listed a process having steps of converting cumene into cumede hydroper ‘oxide and obtaining propylene oxide from such cumene hydroperoxide and propylene, a. process of converting ‘eumene into cumene hydroperoxide end obtaining phenol and acetone by subjecting suet cumene hydroperoxide 10 fcidolysis, and the like. ‘The recovering process of the present invention is to recover cumene obtained by subjecting 2,3-dimelhyl2,3-
