New adsorbents were prepared and tested for the separation of propane-propylene mixtures by adsorption. The ordered mesoporous material SBA-15 was used as the starting material for silver-ion deposition for pi-complexation with propylene. Two different loadings of silver were evaluated. Adsorption equilibrium and kinetic measurements of propane and propylene in the matrix (pure SBA-15) and the silver-modified adsorbents were performed at 323, 343, and 373 K. In this temperature range, the selectivity of propylene in one of the materials (Ag/SBA-15 = 0.5) is in the range 13-22 because the amount of propane adsorbed is very small, 0.095 mmol/g of propane versus 1.12 mmol/g of propylene at 100 kPa and 343 K. The diffusivity of both hydrocarbons is not seriously affected by the introduction of silver into the mesoporous structure.

Article Synopsis
- - The article discusses a new type of adsorbent made from microporous organic polymers (POPs) that selectively separates ethane (C2H6) from ethylene (C2H4) gas mixtures, presenting a more efficient alternative to traditional cryogenic distillation methods.
- - The designed POP adsorbent features specific pore sizes and coordinated copper(I) ions, which allow it to preferentially adsorb ethylene (C2H4) while limiting the adsorption of ethane (C2H6), achieving high selectivity and performance at various temperatures.
- - Computational studies indicate that the interaction between the POP's copper and ethylene enhances its adsorption capacity, confirming the effectiveness of the adsorbent through both

Ultramicroporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are demonstrated to be advantageous for the separation and purification of light hydrocarbons such as CH, CH, and CH. The introduction of transition metal sites with strong π-complexation affinity into MOFs is more effective than other adsorption sites for the selective adsorption of π-electron-rich unsaturated hydrocarbon gases from their mixtures. However, lower coordination numbers make it challenging to produce robust MOFs directly utilizing metal ions with π-coordination activity, such as Cu, Ag, and Pd.

The municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill in Hangzhou, China utilized zeolite and activated carbon (AC) as permeable reactive barrier (PRB) fill materials to remediate groundwater contaminated with MSW leachates containing ammonium, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and heavy metals. The spectral induced polarization (SIP) technique was chosen for monitoring the PRB because of its sensitivity to pore fluid chemistry and mineral-fluid interface composition. During the experiment, authentic groundwater collected from the landfill site was used to permeate two columns filled with zeolite and AC, and the SIP responses were measured at the inlet and outlet over a frequency range of 0.

Article Synopsis
- Carbon monoxide (CO) is crucial for some chemical processes but is very toxic and can harm noble metal catalysts, making it necessary to have an effective adsorbent for CO, especially at low levels.
- The study created zeolite Y-based adsorbents with Cu(I) ions to improve CO capture, using methods like solid-state ion exchange and finding enhanced adsorption due to π-complexation.
- Interestingly, these adsorbents displayed high selectivity, allowing CO to pass through while blocking smaller molecules, with simulations indicating strong interactions between CO and the copper ions, leading to remarkable CO capturing capabilities.
