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