Chemical industry: Trapping of acetylene contaminants

Ethylene, a key feedstock in the chemical industry, often includes traces of acetylene contaminants, which need to be removed. Researchers describe a robust and regenerable porous metal-organic framework that captures acetylene with extraordinary efficiency and selectively. Its synergistic combination of tailor-made pore sizes and chemical docking sites makes the material especially efficient, the study says.
