An adsorptive separation process for separating ortho-nitrotoluene from a feed mixture comprising the ortho-isomer and at least one other isomer of nitrotoluene. The process comprises contacting the feed mixture with an adsorbent comprising a type X zeolite, containing at the exchangeable cationic sites cations of metals from Group IA or IIA of the Periodic Table of Elements, selectively adsorbing substantially all of the ortho-nitrotoluene to the substantial exclusion of the remaining isomers, removing the non-adsorbed portion of the feed mixture from contact with the adsorbent, and thereafter recovering high-purity ortho-isomer by desorption with nitrobenzene.
