Topologically guided tuning of Zr-MOF pore structures for highly selective separation of C6 alkane isomers
Abstract
Effective separation of alkane isomers is a critical step in the petroleum refining process to produce gasoline with high octane rating. Current technology relies on energy intensive distillation method. Adsorptive separation using porous solids offers an alternative route that is more cost effective, lower energy and higher efficiency. Guided by topology-directed design and synthesis, we have developed a series of zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks with optimized pore structure for efficient separation of C6 alkane isomers, Zr-bptc adsorbs a large amount of n-hexane while excluding branched isomers. The n-hexane uptake is ~70% higher than that of a benchmark adsorbent, zeolite-5A. A derivative structure, Zr-abtc, is capable of discriminating all three C6 isomers with a high separation factor for 3-methylpentane over 2,3-dimethylbutane. This property is important for producing gasoline with further improved quality.
