A Novel, Tailor-Made MOF for Exceptionally Efficient Separation of Propane and Propylene
Invention Summary: Separating mixtures of propane and propylene is often challenging and energy intensive. In industrial settings this separation is typically performed by cryogenic distillation, requiring low temperature and/or pressure. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as promising low-energy alternatives to energy-intensive distillations,...
