Abstract

The separation of olefin/paraffin gas mixtures represents one of the most important and also the most challenging processes in the chemical industry. For over 60 years, this separation is being performed by distillation, which not only requires high capital investment, but also it is a very highly energy demanding processes. Therefore the development of a more sustainable separation process is becoming increasingly important. This thesis aims to the development of an alternative olefin/paraffin gas mixtures separation process through the integration of the reaction between olefins and silver ions, ionic liquids and membrane technology.
