Abstract

As primary feedstocks in the petrochemical industry, light olefins such as ethylene and propylene are mainly obtained from steam cracking of naphtha and short chain alkanes (ethane and propane). Due to their similar physical properties, the separations of olefins and paraffins—pivotal processes to meet the olefin purity requirement of downstream processing—are typically performed by highly energy‐intensive cryogenic distillation at low temperatures and high pressures. To reduce the energy input and save costs, adsorptive olefin/paraffin separations have been proposed as promising techniques to complement or even replace cryogenic distillation, and growing efforts have been devoted to developing advanced adsorbents to fulfill this challenging task. In this Review, a holistic view of olefin/paraffin separations is first provided by summarizing how different processes have been established to leverage the differences between olefins and paraffins for effective separations. Subsequently, recent advances in the development of porous materials for adsorptive olefin/paraffin separations are highlighted with an emphasis on different separation mechanisms. Last, a perspective on possible directions to push the limit of the research in this field is presented.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
