Separation of hydrocarbon mixtures into single components is a very important industrial process because all represent very important energy resources/raw chemicals in the petrochemical industry. The well-established industrial separation technology highly relies on the energy-intensive cryogenic distillation processes. The discovery of new materials capable of separating hydrocarbon mixtures by adsorbent-based separation technologies has the potential to provide more energy-efficient industrial processes with remarkable energy savings. Porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), also known as porous coordination polymers, represent a new class of porous materials that offer tremendous promise for hydrocarbon separations because of their easy tunability, designability, and functionality. A number of MOFs have been designed and synthesized to show excellent separation performance on various hydrocarbon separations. Here, we summarize and highlight some recent significant advances in the development of microporous MOFs for hydrocarbon separation applications.
