Abstract

The present invention relates to zeolitic adsorbents based on agglomerated crystals of FAU zeolite comprising 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 polyhydric alcohols, such as sugars.
