Figure 5. C2H4/C2H6 separation performances.

Figure 5

C2H4/C2H6 (1:1) mixture breakthrough curves of (a) MAF-49, (b) MAF-3, (c) MAF-4 and (d) IRMOF-8, and C2H4/C2H6 (15:1) mixture breakthrough curves of (e) MAF-49, (f) MAF-3, (g) MAF-4 and (h) IRMOF-8 measured at 313 K and 1 bar. Solid symbols: C2H4, Open symbols: C2H6. Lines are drawn to guide eyes. Ci and Co are the concentrations of each gas at the inlet and outlet, respectively. Horizontal red dashed lines highlight C2H6 composition at outlet of 0.05%, that is, C2H4 purity of 99.95%.
