Abstract

This study focused on the preparation of adsorbents to remove acetylenes in isoprene. The pore size of adsorbents has affected on the removal of acetylenes selectively due to difference of kinetic diameter of acetylenes, such as Isopropenyl acetylene (IPA) and 2-butyne. Among the adsorbents with various pore size, 4A, 5A, ZSM-5 and ZSM-12 showed higher removal capacity of 2-butyne. It was observed that 5A granule showed 100% removal of 2-butyne. Moreover, adsorbents impregnated with novel metal, Pd, Ag, Pt have been tested under identical condition. It was observed that Ag-zeolite granule showed 100% removal of IPA. Thus, both adsorbents can be considered as a good candidate for this adsorption process.
