Preferential Adsorption Performance of Ethane in a Robust Nickel-Based Metal-Organic Framework for Separating Ethane from Ethylene.

ABSTRACT: Development of an ethane-selective adsorbent to separate ethane from ethylene is a challenging issue with great significance for ethylene purification. The adsorptive separation technique based on physical adsorption holds a great promise to address this issue. Herein, we report a robust ethane-selective metal-organic framework, Ni(BODC)(TED), and investigate its separation performance on C₂H₆/C₂H₄. The as-synthesized Ni(BODC)(TED) exhibits excellent water vapor stability and high capacity of C₂H₆ molecules with an uptake of 3.36 mmol/g at 298 K and 100 kPa, higher than those of many adsorbents reported in recent years. Its C₂H₆/C₂H₄ selectivity predicted by the ideal adsorbed solu
