The separation of propylene and propane is crucial in the petrochemical industry, but current methods are energy-intensive. Metal-organic frameworks and membrane-based separation offer energy-saving alternatives. This review discusses the progress in propylene/propane separation using MOFs and MOF-based membranes, including different separation mechanisms and material design principles. It also outlines the challenges and opportunities in practical propylene/propane separation using MOFs.
Separation of propylene (C3H6) and propane (C3H8) is a vital step for the manufacture of high-purity C3H6 as an important energy source and critical raw material in the petrochemical industry. Due to their similar sizes and properties, the separation of C3H6 and C3H6 is challenging and currently relies on energy-intensive cryogenic distillation. Metal-organic framework (MOF)-assisted adsorptive separation and membrane-based separation are revolutionary energy-saving technologies that can enable efficient gas purification under mild conditions. This review presents the current progress in C3H6/C3H8 separation achieved with MOFs and MOF-based membranes. The different separation mechanisms (including equilibrium separation, kinetic separation, gate-opening effect, molecular sieving, and combination of them) along with the materials design principles that contribute to benchmark C3H6/C3H8 separation are discussed. Diverse creative strategies for the fabrication of high-quality MOF membranes (both continuous membranes and mixed-matrix membranes) to surpass the tradeoff between selectivity and gas permeability are summarized. Lastly, this review also outlines the major challenges and opportunities of MOFs to be used for practical C3H6/C3H8 separation.
