Agglomerated zeolite adsorbents, method for obtaining them and use for adsorbingparaxylene from aromatic c₈ cuts 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.
