The ZIF-8 membrane has emerged as a promising candidate for C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 separation. However, the feasibility of ZIF-8 membranes for applications has rarely been investigated with gas provided directly by the industry sector. Herein, the C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 mixture collected from the backend of the Hydrogen Peroxide to Propylene Oxide (HPPO) process was applied as feed gas to examine the separation performance of tubular ZIF-8 membranes. The membranes exhibited excellent separation performance and long-term stability under 9 bar and 50 °C. Noticeably, upon scaling up to a membrane area of 452.16 cm 2 by connecting six three-channel modules in series (multi-step membrane), its separation performance satisfied the C 3 H 6 circulation requirements during the HPPO process (purity ≥97.5 % and recovery rate ≥85 %). Furthermore, a simulation of membrane operation under industrial working conditions (22 bar and 56.3 °C) was performed. By fixing the separation factor at 15, a minimum membrane area of 800 m 2 met the requirements at the cost of membrane permeance with 120 GPU. The corresponding economic calculation indicated a maximum of 91.8 % annual capital cost saving compared with the distillation process, paving the way for the practical application of membranes.

Two critical characteristics for gas adsorption and separation are the porosity and open metal sites of adsorbents. The Cu–BTC (BTC = benzene–1,3,5–tricarboxylate) structure was tailored using a template synthesis technique to increase the separation performance for C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 mixtures. The three hierarchical porous frameworks, Cu x O y @HP–Cu–BTC, synthesized using a cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)), a neutral organic amine (N,N–dimethyltetradecylamine (N,N)), and an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS)) as the template, Cu x O y @HP–Cu–BTC(SDBS) exhibited the best performance, with a C 3 H 6 adsorption capacity of 6.679 mmol g −1 , which was significantly greater than that of C 3 H 8 (5.721 mmol g −1 ). Cu x O y @HP–Cu–BTC(SDBS) has an ideal ultra–microporous structure that encloses C 3 H 6 molecules precisely while rejecting slightly bigger C 3 H 8 molecules, and C 3 H 6 interacts strongly with unsaturated metal sites through particular π–Cu bonds. According to the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST), the adsorption selectivity of C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 was 63.322, which is more than that of the reference adsorbent Cu–BTC. Additionally, the breakthrough studies shown that Cu x O y @HP–Cu–BTC(SDBS) has a good dynamic performance for the effective separation of the C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 mixture.

Polymer coating post-treatment strategy of the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) membranes offers a versatile and feasible opportunity to restrict the intrinsic flexibility of ZIF framework and improve their gas separation performance. Herein, two different coating methods (Vacuum-assisted drip coating (VADC) and Static drip coating (SDC)) are utilized to prepare PDMS/ZIF-8 composite membranes based on ZIF-8 membranes with different compactness (high, medium and low-quality membrane) for investigating the effect of the contact area between PDMS layer and ZIF-8 membrane on C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 separation performance of PDMS/ZIF-8 composite membranes. The results reveal that the increase of the contact between PDMS layer and ZIF-8 membrane can enhance the contact confinement effect on the flexibility of ZIF-8 framework, resulting in a higher improvement of the separation performance for C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 of PDMS/ZIF-8 composite membranes with pressure. The prepared composite membrane based on VADC method showed a significant improvement in C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 separation factor (77–102) with slight increase in C 3 H 6 permeance (about 10%) at feed pressure of 7 bar. Moreover, this facile vacuum-assisted drip strategy attenuated the impact of the quality of ZIF-8 membranes on fabrication reproducibility of the composite membranes, which can withstand high pressure. Therefore, this work advances ZIF-8 membrane moving forward to industrial C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 separation.

Efficient separation of propylene/propane (C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 ) is an imperative and extremely challenging process in the petrochemical industry due to their similar physicochemical characters. Known tactics mainly concentrate on unilateral thermodynamic or kinetic driven. Here, we report the efficient separation of C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 through cooperative equilibrium-kinetic synergetic effect in a nodes-engineered Zr-MOF scaffold (1to). The grafted -CF 3 motif with different isomers and resultant aperture chemistry awards 1to a late-model paradigm for efficient separation of C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 . Detailly, confined -CF 3 group having the role of H-bonding acceptor can result in improved adsorption enthalpy ( Q st ) of 38.1 kJ mol −1 , ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) selectivity of 80 and experimental selectivity of 25, respectively, indicating a marked thermodynamic driven for trapping C 3 H 6 . Besides, the contracted cross-sectional size and eligible pore shape of 1to could be judiciously adjusted through rationally engineering the pore microenvironment, yielding a topmost simulated diffusion selectivity of 408, which was 40.8 times higher than that of the pristine 1 example (10), effectively enabling the swift diffusion behavior of C 3 H 6 . Modeling simulations and breakthrough experiments confirmed the excellent C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 separation performance of 1to. This work successfully developed a novel nodes-engineered strategy for C 3 H 6 capture through equilibrium-kinetic synergetic effect, anticipating to set a new benchmark for gas separation and affording constructive guidance for tailoring delicate aperture chemistry.

The separation of propylene and propane is an important but challenging process, primarily achieved through energy-intensive distillation technology in the petrochemical industry. Here, we reported two natural C 4 linkers based metal–organic frameworks (MIP-202 and MIP-203) for C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 separation. Adsorption isotherms and selectivity calculations were performed to study the adsorption performance for C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 separation. Results show that C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 uptake ratios (298 K, 100 kPa) for MIP-202 and MIP-203 are 2.34 and 7.4, respectively. C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 uptake ratio (303 K, 100 kPa) for MIP-203 is up to 50.0. The mechanism for enhanced separation performance of C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 on MIP-203 at higher temperature (303 K) was revealed by the in situ PXRD characterization. The adsorption selectivities of C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 on MIP-202 and MIP-203 (298 K, 100 kPa) are 8.8 and 551.4, respectively. The mechanism for the preferential adsorption of C 3 H 6 over C 3 H 8 in MIP-202 and MIP-203 was revealed by the Monte Carlo simulation. The cost of organic ligands for MIP-202 and MIP-203 was lower than that of organic ligands for those top-performance MOFs. Our work sets a new benchmark for C 3 H 6 sorbents with high adsorption selectivities.
