Metal-Organic Framework Materials for Light Hydrocarbon Separation

In practical industrial applications, the separation of light hydrocarbon mixtures is a very important technology. In recent years, some progress has been made in metal-organic framework materials for light hydrocarbon separation, but further research is still needed. This Minireivew presents a systematic discussion on the latest developments and separation mechanisms of metal-organic framework materials for C₂ and C₃ mixtures, discusses the problems faced by metal-organic framework materials in the study of light hydrocarbon adsorption and separation, and provides a reference for the design, preparation and process development of low-carbon hydrocarbon adsorption and separation materials in the future.
