A Chemically Robust Microporous Zn-MOF for C₂H₂ Separation from CO₂ and Industrially Relevant Four Component Gas Mixtures.

ABSTRACT: The separation and purification of acetylene from the light hydrocarbon gas mixtures is considered as one of the most industrially challenging task for the production of fine chemicals. Though metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising candidates for such separation and offer a cost and energy-efficient pathway, achieving the trade-off between sorption capacity and separation selectivity along with framework robustness is a daunting task and demands effective design. Herein, a new 3D chemically stable MOF, IITKGP-24 (stable over a wide range of aqueous pH solution, pH = 2-12) is developed, displaying excellent separation selectivity of 13.9 for C₂H₂/CO₂ (50:50) even at ambient conditions and maintained a trade-off between sorption capacity and separation
