Abstract

A process for separating the isomers of dichlorotoluene from a feed mixture of the same. Separation of the isomers is effected by selective adsorption and desorption and is susceptible to various flow schemes for performing continuous adsorptive separations. The process uses an L-type adsorbent having alkali metal cations, or mixtures thereof as cations and a desorbent containing 1,2-dichlorobenzene or chlorobenzene alone or either admixed with saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons having less than 9 carbon atoms.
