Mechanochemical Synthesis of Cu(I)-MOF-74 for Improved Ethylene/Ethane Separation

/g BET surface area. Also, the adsorption isotherms of ethylene and ethane on this MOF are measured at 278, 298, 313, and 353 K. Finally, the isosteric heats of adsorption of ethylene and ethane on Cu-(I)-MOF-74 are calculated, and using the ideal adsorption solution theory (IAST), adsorption selectivities at the four above-mentioned temperatures are calculated.
