The separation of hydrocarbons is of primary importance in the petrochemical industry but remains a challenging process. Hydrocarbon separations have traditionally relied predominantly on costly and energy intensive heat-driven procedures such as low temperature distillations. Adsorptive separation based on porous solids represents an alternative technology that is potentially more energy efficient for the separation of some hydrocarbons. Great efforts have been made recently not only on the development of adsorbents with optimal separation performance but also towards the subsequent implementation of adsorption-based separation technology. Emerging as a relatively new class of multifunctional porous materials, metal-organic frameworks hold substantial promise as adsorbents for highly efficient separation of hydrocarbons. This is because of their exceptional and intrinsic porosity tunability which enables size-exclusion based separations that render the highest possible separation selectivity. In this review, we highlight the recent advances in the development of MOFs for separation of selected groups of hydrocarbons, including methane/C2 hydrocarbons, normal alkanes, alkane isomers, alkane/alkene/alkyne, and C8 alkylaromatics, with a particular focus on separations based on size-exclusion mechanism. Insights into tailor-made structures, material design strategies, and structure-property relations will be elucidated. In addition, the existing challenges and possible future directions of this important research field will be discussed.
