Abstract
- A simple process by slurry bed and π-complexation adsorbent was developed for separation of propylene/propane mixtures. The adsorbent, Cu(I) immobilized active carbon (AC), was prepared by the in-situ reduction of Cu(CH3COO)2. The adsorption amount of propylene and selectivity was 35.1 mL/g and 1.57, 30.4 mL/g and 1.45 for Cu(CH3COO)2-AC-N2(calcined in N2atmosphere) and Cu(CH3COO)2-AC-Air, respectively. Compared with AC, the BET surface area decreased, while the average pore diameter increased. It suggested that the metal salt deposited at the entrance of pores, blocking part of pores. According to the results from IR, XRD and TPR, Cu2O was the main copper species on the surface of the solid adsorbent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
