Iso-butene (iso-CH) is an important raw material in chemical industry, whereas its efficient separation remains challenging due to similar molecular properties of C olefins. The ideal adsorbent should possess simultaneous high uptakes for 1,3-butadiene (CH) and n-butene (n-CH) counterparts, endowing high efficiency for iso-CH separation in adsorption columns. Herein, a sulfate-pillared adsorbent, SOFOUR-DPDS-Ni (DPDS = 4,4'-dipyridyldisulfide), is reported for the efficient iso-CH separation from binary and ternary C olefin mixtures. The rigidity in pore sizes and shapes of SOFOUR-DPDS-Ni exerts the molecular sieving of iso-CH, while exhibiting high CH and n-CH uptakes. The benchmark Henry's selectivity for CH/iso-CH (2321.8) and n-CH/iso-CH (233.5) outperforms most reported adsorbents. Computational simulations reveal the strong interactions for CH and n-CH. Furthermore, dynamic breakthrough experiments demonstrate the direct production of high-purity iso-CH (>99.9%) from CH/iso-CH (50/50, v/v), n-CH/iso-CH (50/50, v/v), and CH/n-CH/iso-CH (50/15/35, v/v/v) gas-mixtures.
异丁烯(iso-C₄H₈)是化学工业中的一种重要原料,然而由于C₄烯烃分子性质相似,其高效分离仍然具有挑战性。理想的吸附剂应同时对1,3 - 丁二烯(C₄H₆)和正丁烯(n-C₄H₈)具有高吸附量,从而在吸附塔中实现异丁烯分离的高效性。在此,报道了一种硫酸盐柱撑吸附剂SOFOUR-DPDS-Ni(DPDS = 4,4'-二吡啶二硫化物),用于从二元和三元C₄烯烃混合物中高效分离异丁烯。SOFOUR-DPDS-Ni的孔径和形状的刚性实现了对异丁烯的分子筛作用,同时对C₄H₆和n-C₄H₈表现出高吸附量。C₄H₆/异丁烯(2321.8)和n-C₄H₈/异丁烯(233.5)的基准亨利选择性优于大多数已报道的吸附剂。计算模拟揭示了对C₄H₆和n-C₄H₈的强相互作用。此外,动态突破实验表明可从C₄H₆/异丁烯(50/50,v/v)、n-C₄H₈/异丁烯(50/50,v/v)和C₄H₆/n-C₄H₈/异丁烯(50/15/35,v/v/v)气体混合物中直接生产高纯度异丁烯(>99.9%)。
