Abstract
Perfluorosulfonated ionomer (PSI) membranes were used to investigate t he separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures by means of silver-based fac ilitated transport of olefins. Pentene and pentane were used as model compounds and separation factors as high as 33 were obtained. Influenc e of linear C-3-C-6 alcohols and ketones on the separation of the pent ene/pentane mixtures was investigated. The presence of oxygenates incr eases the fluxes of olefins and paraffins, resulting in lower selectiv ity for hydrocarbon separation.
