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 which process employs an adsorbent comprising a type Y zeolite essentially completely exchanged with a single cation selected from the group consisting of potassium, cesium, and rubidium. 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.
