Frontispiece: The Adsorptive Separation of Ethylene from C₂ Hydrocarbons by Metal‐Organic Frameworks

Abstract

Ethylene is a critical chemical raw material widely used in manufacturing and petrochemical fields. The adsorptive separation of ethylene from C2 hydrocarbon mixtures using metal‐organic frameworks to replace traditional high‐energy separation technologies is essential but challenging. This review highlights the C2hydrocarbon separation realized with MOF adsorbents. For more details, see the Review by W. Xie, L. Yang, J. Zhang, and Y. Zhao (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202300158).
