Abstract
The purification of industrially valuable C2H2 and C2H4 from multicomponent mixtures represents a crucial process in the chemical industry. In this study, we present a copper-based metal-organic framework (L-py-Cu) built on a nitrogen-rich organic linker that is capable of separating C2H2/C2H4/C2H6 and C2H2/CO2 mixtures, therefore producing highly pure C2H4 and C2H2, respectively. L-py-Cu exhibits favorable adsorption of C2H2 and C2H6 over C2H4 and thus achieves one-step C2H4 purification from C2H2/C2H4/C2H6 ternary mixtures, as verified by multicomponent breakthrough measurements. In addition, it can also extract C2H2 from C2H2/CO2 binary mixtures.
