Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with a single ring and two methyl groups attached to this ring in positions 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4, called o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene, respectively. Because of the similarities in their physicochemical properties, it is very difficult to obtain these isomers in a pure form. For this reason, numerous techniques have been developed with the objective of separating them. One technique is based on the adsorption of substances according to the adsorption heat observed during their interaction with the adsorbent. This review presents the main studies developed in recent years that seek to evaluate the potential of microporous materials in separating the different xylene isomers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
