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.
