Abstract

This invention describes a process for separation of xylenes for the purpose of the production of high-purity metaxylene, a simulated countercurrent process using at least one adsorber with a limited cumulative total level (Hcu) of adsorbent at a surface velocity (Vsl) that is less than 2 cm/s.
