AGGLOMERATED ZEOLITE ADSORBENTS, METHOD FOR OBTAINING THEM AND USE FOR ADSORBING PARAXYLENE FROM AROMATIC C8 CUT FRACTIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to agglomerated zeolite adsorbents based on faujasite with an Si/Al ratio such that 1<=Si/Al<=1.15, at least 70% exchanged with barium and optionally with potassium, and on a binder, preferably a zeolitizable binder.They are obtained by agglomerating zeolite powder with a binder, followed by exchange of the zeolite ions for barium ions and activation of the adsorbents thus exchanged.These adsorbents are particularly suitable for the adsorption of the para-xylene contained in aromatic C8 hydrocarbon fractions in the liquid phase, in processes of simulated fluid-bed type.
