Kinetic Separation of Hexane Isomers by Fixed-Bed Adsorption with a Microporous Metal−Organic Framework

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: A three-dimensional microporous metal-organic framework Zn(BDC)(Dabco)0.5 (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, Dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo [2,2,2]octane), having two types of intersecting pores to encapsulate linear hexane and to block branched hexanes, and thus exhibiting highly selective sorption with respect to n-hexane, has been successfully applied to the kinetic separation of hexane isomers by fixed-bed adsorption.
