### Find out how adsorption can be used to separate hydrocarbons

Separating ethane and ethylene is still a difficult process in todays chemical industry. Metal-organic frameworks offer a new route to generate high-purity gases.

In our case study we cover

- Comparison of different separation processes
- MOF specific properties
- Benefits of MOFs for hydrocarbon separation

MOFs have significant advantages to existing gas separation methods.
