摘要

Abstract

The separation of light hydrocarbon mixtures (C

-C

) generated from petrochemical industry is vital and challenging process for obtaining valuable pure chemical feedstocks. In comparison to the energy intensive conventional separation technologies (cryogenic distillation

absorption and hydrogenation)

the adsorptive separation is considered as a low energy cost and high efficiency process. Porous carbons have been demonstrated as excellent adsorbents for the separation of light hydrocarbons

owing to their designable structure and tailorable properties. This review summarizes the recent advances of using porous carbons as adsorbents for the separation of light hydrocarbons

including methane/nitrogen

methane/alkane

methane/carbon dioxide

ethylene/ethane and propylene/propane. We discuss the separation mechanisms and highlight the material features including pore structure

surface chemistry and target molecular properties that determine the separation performance. Furthermore

the challenges and development direction associated with carbonaceous adsorbents for light hydrocarbon separation are discussed

meanwhile the gui

delines for the design of porous carbons are proposed.
