This Minireview focuses on the developments of the adsorptive separation of
methane/nitrogen, ethene/ethane, propene/propane mixtures as well as on the separation of …

Developing adsorptive separation processes based on C2H6‐selective sorbents to replace
energy‐intensive cryogenic distillation is a promising alternative for C2H4 purification from …

One‐step C2H4 purification from ternary C2H6/C2H4/C2H2 mixtures by a single adsorbent
is of great industrial significance, but few adsorbents achieve this separation. Herein, we …

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a new generation of porous materials
that demonstrate great promise in diverse application fields, especially gas separation, due …

The unique structural advantage of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) determines the great
prospect and developability in gas adsorption and separation. Both ligand design and …

An ideal material for C2H6/C2H4 separation would simultaneously have the highest C2H6
uptake capacity and the highest C2H6/C2H4 selectivity. But such material is elusive. A …

For the separation of ethane from ethylene, it remains challenging to target both high C2H6
adsorption and selectivity in a C2H6‐selective material. Herein, we report a reversible solid …

The separation and purification process of hydrocarbons is one of the crucial and daunting
challenges in the petrochemistry field, which is widely depended on cryogenic distillation by …

Abstract Propane/propene (C3H8/C3H6) separation is essential in the petrochemical
industry but challenging because of their similar physical and chemical properties …
