Abstract: The present invention relates to zeolitic adsorbents based on small agglomerated crystals of zeolite X comprising barium, combining optimum properties in terms of selectivity and of mechanical strength. These adsorbents have applications in the separation of fractions of aromatic C8 isomers and in particular xylenes, in the separation of substituted toluene isomers, such as nitrotoluene, diethyltoluene or toluenediamine, in the separation of cresols and in the separation of polyhydric alcohols, such as sugars.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adsorbent article. The adsorbent article contains zeolitic particles which include at least one zeolitic adsorbent. The zeolitic particles are immobilized with at least one resin. According to one embodiment, the resin is in the form of particles, which can be melted to form bridges at points of contact between the zeolitic particles, thus immobilizing the zeolitic particles. The average size of the zeolitic particles can be between 0.03 mm and 3 mm. The zeolitic particles contain at least one zeolite and the zeolite content of the article is at least 60 weight percent, based on the weight of the article. The invention also relates to a method for separating a fluid from another fluid or from impurities, by contacting the fluid with the adsorbent article.

Abstract: The present invention relates to aggregate zeolitic adsorbents based on zeolite X and zeolite LSX. These adsorbents are particularly suitable for separating C8 aromatic isomers and in particular xylenes, separating sugars, separating polyhydric alcohols, separating isomers of substituted toluenes, separating cresols, separating dichlorobenzenes.

Abstract: The invention relates to aggregate zeolitic adsorbents based on faujasite X type zeolite powder having a low silica content and small crystals, exchanged with barium or based on faujasite X type zeolite having a low silica content and small crystals, exchanged with barium and potassium. The invention also relates to the method for preparing said aggregate zeolitic adsorbents, and also their uses for separating sugars, polyhydric alcohols, isomers of substituted toluene, cresols, or for recovering very high purity paraxylene.

Abstract: The present invention relates to agglomerated zeolitic adsorbents based on zeolite X with an Si/Al ratio such that 1.15<Si/AL<1.5, consisting of crystals with a mean diameter of 1.7 mm or less and of an inert binder, at least 90% of the exchangeable cationic sites of the zeolite X being occupied by barium ions. They may be obtained by agglomerating a zeolite X powder having a mean diameter of 1.7 mm or less with a binder, followed by zeolitization of the binder, exchange of the zeolite ions with barium (and potassium) ions and activation of the adsorbents thus exchanged.

Abstract: Zeolites partially exchanged with copper, in particular faujasites, in which the copper does not largely occupy the small cages (for example the sodalite cages of the faujasites), are used as non-nitrogen-protoxide-generating SCR catalysts. Particular attention is drawn to certain mixed rare-earth/copper zeolites. The selectivity of the reduction of NOx to N2 is correlated with the TPR diagram of the catalysts.
