  • Use of porous 2,5-furanedicarboxylate-based MOFs for improved separation of branched alkanes
    Patent number: 11958804
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of 2,5-furanedicarboxylate-based MOFs, such as, MIL-160(AI) metal-organic framework, for separating C6 alkane isomers into linear, mono-branched and di-branched isomers. The present invention also relates to the use of 2,5-furanedicarboxylate-based MOFs, such as, MIL-160(AI) metal-organic framework, preferably in combination with Zeolite 5A for producing higher research octane number gasoline blends. Also within the scope of the invention is a system for separating C6 and C5 alkane isomer mixtures into linear, mono-branched and di-branched fractions.
