Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of 2,5-furanedicarboxylate-based MOFs, such as, MIL-160(AI) metal-organic framework, for separating C6 alkane isomers into linear, mono-branched and di-branched isomers. The present invention also relates to the use of 2,5-furanedicarboxylate-based MOFs, such as, MIL-160(AI) metal-organic framework, preferably in combination with Zeolite 5A for producing higher research octane number gasoline blends. Also within the scope of the invention is a system for separating C6 and C5 alkane isomer mixtures into linear, mono-branched and di-branched fractions.
Claims13
A method for separation of a C6 alkane isomer mixture feed comprising linear, mono-branched, and di-branched C6 alkane isomers, where the method comprises passing the C6 alkane isomer mixture feed through an adsorber bed comprising a MOF to obtain a first stream comprising mono-branched and linear alkane isomers and a second stream comprising di-branched alkane isomers,
- wherein the MOF is selected from the group consisting of Al-, Fe-, Cr-, V-, Ga-, In-, and Ti-based 2,5-furandicarboxylate.
