Adsorption and separation of light saturated hydrocarbons (methane, ethane and propane)
as main components of natural gas on a series of isoreticular mesoporous metal–organic …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely studied as new materials, and many
structural regulation strategies have been reported. We report a new defective-MOF design …

The efficient purification of methane from other light hydrocarbons is of prime importance in
natural gas purification. However, the exploitation of stable adsorbents with both high …

Propane (C3H8) is a widely used fuel gas. Metal–organic framework (MOF) physisorbents
that are C3H8 selective offer the potential to significantly reduce the energy footprint for …

Purifying methane (CH4) from natural gas and coal mine methane (CMM) is of great
significance but challenging in the chemical industry. Herein, a robust ultramicroporous …

The development of effective physical adsorbents for the separation of light hydrocarbon gas
mixtures is a challenging and prime step in the petrochemical industry. In this work, we …
