The eutectic limit of para-xylene crystallization is overcome by enriching the concentration of para-xylene of the crystallization feed. This is accomplished by passing the crystallization feed stream through a selective adsorption zone to produce a para-xylene-enriched stream and a para-xylene-depleted stream. The para-xylene-depleted stream is passed to an isomerization zone to re-equilibrate the xylene mixture, thereby producing additional para-xylene. The para-xylene-enriched stream is passed to a crystallization zone to produce high purity para-xylene. The result is an increase in the overall para-xylene recovery.
