Abstract
The present invention relates to zeolitic adsorbents based on agglomerated crystals of FAU zeolite containing barium and/or potassium, with large external surface area, combining optimum properties in terms of selectivity and mechanical strength. These adsorbents find applications in the separation of cuts of C8-aromatic isomers and notably of xylenes, in the separation of isomers of substituted toluene such as nitrotoluene, diethyltoluene, toluenediamine, in the separation of cresols, and in the separation of polyhydric alcohols such as sugars.
