Abstract

An experimental study of the separation of diethylbenzene (DEB) isomers was performed on a bench-scale column, using zeolites, X, Y, ZSM-5, and DZ and their ion-exchanged forms as adsorbents with various desorbents. It was found that CDZ zeolite was the most appropriate for the separation of DEB mixture in the temperature range 120–190 °C. The effects of particle size and feed rate on separations, as well as the process feasibility through consecutive injection of the isomer mixture, were also studied.
