Abstract:
Provided is a method for recovering, by pressure swing adsorption, unreacted olefins from a stream of a chemical reaction process in which an olefin is used as a material, the method enables desorption of gas at a relatively high desorption operation pressure, more preferably at a pressure not lower than the atmospheric pressure, and enables reuse of a separation agent. As the separation agent, a metal complex is used, in which pressure P3 at which a local maximum of dA/dP is obtained during adsorption and pressure P4 at which a local maximum of dA/dP is obtained during desorption are located between an adsorption operation pressure P1 and a desorption operation pressure P2, where dA/dP represents a value obtained by differentiating A by P, assuming that an olefin adsorption amount (A) is a function of an adsorption pressure (P), i.e., A=f(P), on an adsorption isotherm indicating the pressure (P) and the adsorption amount (A).

Abstract:
A separation material and method for separating and recovering a target gas from a mixed gas including the target gas and a hydrocarbon gas that has the same number of carbon atoms as the target gas, the target gas being a hydrocarbon gas having 2 or 4 carbon atoms and a carbon-carbon double bond. This gas separation material includes: a metal complex containing a 2,3-pyrazinedicarboxylic acid; an ion of at least one type of metal (M); and an organic ligand (B) capable of bidentate coordination to the metal ion represented by general formula (1) or general formula (2), where (M), formula (1) and formula (2) are as defined herein. The metal complex has a composition represented by M2+2A2−2B where M2+ is the ion of the metal (M), A2− is a 2,3-pyrazinedicarboxylate dianion and B is the organic ligand (B) capable of bidentate coordination to the metal ion.
