Abstract: A process for separating dimethyl biphenyl (DMBP) isomers, including contacting a mixture of 3,3′-DMBP, 3,4′-DMBP and 4,4′-DMBP in a first solvent with a 12-member ring zeolite exchanged with potassium or barium, or combinations thereof, and adsorbing the 3,3′-DMBP onto the 12-member ring zeolite, such as by passing the mixture through at least one packed bed of the potassium and/or barium exchanged 12-member ring zeolite.

Abstract: In a process for separating one or more 3,3′-, 3,4′- and 4,4′-dimethyl biphenyl isomers, a feed comprising the isomers is contacted with a zeolite adsorbent which contains one or more metal cations in the +1 or +2 oxidation states. Separation processes for each of the 3,3′-, 3,4′- and 4,4′-dimethyl biphenyl isomers is provided.
