Adsorptive Separation of Light Olefin/paraffin Mixtures
نویسنده
چکیده
A n effective adsorbent for the ethylene/ethane separation has been prepared by the dispersion of CuCl in large NaX crystals. The results from the thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) indicate a maximal dispersion capacity of 36 wt% of CuCl for the NaX crystals. Single component isotherms of ethane and ethylene on CuCl/NaX show that the CuCl containing adsorbents are highly favourable to the olefin, which is ascribed to the strong interaction due to the formation of p-complexes between ethylene and CuCl. Breakthrough experiments demonstrate that CuCl/NaX can be used as an effective adsorbent for the separation of ethylene and ethane mixtures and would allow the use of more sustainable processes.

Adsorption of ethane, ethylene, propane, and propylene on a magnesium-based metal-organic framework.
Separation of olefin/paraffin is an energy-intensive and difficult separation process in petrochemical industry. Energy-efficient adsorption process is considered as a promising alternative to the traditional cryogenic distillation for separating olefin/paraffin mixtures. In this work, we explored the feasibility of adsorptive separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures using a magnesium-based metal...
متن کاملEffect of Complexation Reaction Constant on the Separation of Propylene/Propane by Supported Liquid Membrane
Traditional systems for olefin/paraffin separation, like low-temperature distillation, are expensive and very energy consuming, and therefore, alternative separation methods are desired. Facilitated transport membranes are new tools for this separation to be substituted in large scale separation of olefin-paraffin mixtures. To design a membrane process for olefin-paraffin separation, equilibriu...

The application of a metal-organic framework (MOF) has expanded into the area of heterogeneous catalysis, gas storage and separation, drug delivery, and lightweight magnets. Herein, we investigate the nature of olefin and paraffin binding on Fe/MOF-74 and identify several factors that determine separation efficiency using the first-principles calculations. The calculated binding energies and ma...
متن کاملWhy Silver Nanoparticles Are Effective for Olefin/Paraffin Separations
The majority of nanocomposite olefin/paraffin separation membranes use silver nanoparticles or silver ions as the olefin binding agent. In this theoretical study, we characterize the olefin interaction with silver nanoparticles and show that silver is special in that it chemisorbs ethylene more weakly than other metals. Some variation with particle size is found; small 79 atom nanoparticles ten...
متن کاملOlefin production from catalytic cracking of light fuel oil over different additives
The catalytic cracking of a fuel oil over fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst has been investigated applying different additives. Catalyst mixtures consisting of a equilibrium FCC catalyst (E-Cat) blended with ZSM-5, MCM-41 and Mordenite additives were examined at the additive levels of 25 wt.%. The catalytic performance of the matrix was studied in a fixed bed micro-activity test unit (MAT...
