Abstract

The one-step adsorptive separation of high-purity ethylene (C₂H₄) from a ternary gas mixture (C₂H₂/C₂H₄/CO₂) is challenging and has not been reported on porous carbons. Herein, we report camphor seeds husk-derived ultramicroporous carbons (CSHs) show high affinities toward acetylene (C₂H₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) over C₂H₄. The optimized CSH-2-700 with high heteroatom contents and centered pore size distributions shows high C₂H₂ adsorption capacity (2.24 mmol g⁻¹) and record ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) C₂H₂/C₂H₄ selectivity (10.2) among one-step C₂H₄ purification adsorbents. Meanwhile, CSH carbons are the only carbon adsorbents that preferentially adsorb CO₂ over C₂H₄, with a CO₂/C₂H₄ selectivity of 1.9 under ambient conditions. Furthermore, dynamic breakthrough experiments verified its feasibility for one-step C₂H₄ purification from a three-component C₂H₂/C₂H₄/CO₂ gas-mixture.
