Selective conversion of methanol to p-xylene on modified high-silica zeolites

Selective Separation of BTEX Mixtures Using Metal–Organic Frameworks

“…Currently, most industrial processes involving BTEX components undergo separation through molecular sieves. These structures are an alternative to less selective and more aggressive separation and production methods such as on-site carbon regeneration or to more energy-consuming processes like steam or gas stripping. , We focus on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as structures to adsorb and separate mixtures. , MOFs are nanoporous materials, formed by metallic centers connected by organic linkers, which create unique networks of cages and windows of different geometries and sizes. Some MOFs are characterized by large pore size and high selectivity due to the possibility of varying the synthesis building blocks and relative physical and chemical stability. − Depending on the organic linker, its orientation, and the metallic center, the MOFs obtained would have distinctive properties.…”
