Recent advances of nanoporous adsorbents for light hydrocarbon (C1 – C3) separation

Hydrocarbons are exclusively composed of carbon and hydrogen and serve as crucial raw materials for several chemical processes. Light hydrocarbons are produced via catalytic cracking and the dehydrogenation of long-chain hydrocarbons and require effective separation due to undesirable components or impurities. Adsorptive separation is considered a promising technique because of its lower energy consumption than conventional processes (e.g.,...
