Abstract

1-butene is often produced by highly energy consuming separation based on distillation of C4 fractions in petrochemical plants. The adsorption characteristics of mesoporous MCM-41 containing cuprous, ferrous ions utilizing the g-complexation between the ions and 1-butene for selective adsorption of 1-butene in the mixture of the 1-butene and n-butane were studied. MCM-41 with cuprous/ferrous ions pair exhibited much higher adsorption amount for 1-butene than n-butane, compared to those of MCM-41 with only cuprous ion and microporous 13X zeolite. The MCM-41 with equal molar ratio of cuprous and ferrous displayed highest 1-butene/n-butane adsorption ratio at low pressure. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2007 AIChE Annual Meeting (Salt Lake City, UT 11/4-9/2007).
