Abstract
A process for the separation of the para-isomer from a hydrocarbon feed mixture comprising at least two bi-alkyl substituted monocyclic aromatic isomers, including the para-isomer, said isomers having from 8 to about 18 carbon atoms per molecule using a specially prepared adsorbent comprising a Y zeolite containing at the exchangeable cationic sites one or more selected cations. The feed mixture is passed through a bed of the adsorbent wherein the para-isomer is preferentially adsorbed within the adsorbent and thereafter recovered from the adsorbent. Novel feature of the process is the use of the specially prepared adsorbents which have faster adsorption-desorption rates for the desired para-isomer.
