ABSTRACT:
In the process flow scheme for chromatographically separating paraxylene from C.sub.8 isomers containing substantial amounts of C.sub.9 aromatic hydrocarbon impurities with an X or Y zeolite adsorbent and heavy desorbents, e.g., tetralin and derivatives thereof and diethyltoluene, a drag stream is split from the extract fractionation column bottoms stream, containing desorbent and C.sub.9 aromatic hydrocarbon impurities for recycling to the separation unit, and is directed to the raffinate fractionation column, where C.sub.9 aromatic hydrocarbons are removed to prevent C.sub.9 aromatic hydrocarbons from building up in the desorbent input to the separation unit. A fractionator for the extract column stream is eliminated, lowering capital costs.
