Abstract

A method of separating 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene from a mixture containing 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene and structural isomers thereof including the 2,7-isomer is disclosed, wherein the mixture is first subjected to a selective adsorption and desorption treatment using a zeolite absorbent capable of adsorbing the 2,7-isomer to obtain a first extract containing the sorbed 2,7-isomer and a first raffinate containing non-sorbed isomers including the 2,6-isomer, the 2,6-isomer being thereafter separated from the first raffinate.
