Popis: In the petrochemical industry, it is critical to separate the light olefins/paraffins mixtures via an efficient and economic method. In this work, a series of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) (choline chloride (ChCl)-glycerol (G), ChCl-ethylene glycol (EG), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim][Cl])-G, and [Bmim][Cl]-EG) dissolving CuCl were used as novel membrane liquids to fabricate supported liquid membranes (SLMs) for the C2H4/C2H6 mixture separation. Interactions based on a hydrogen bond network in different DESs were characterized by time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (TOF-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Moreover, by absorption experiments, the Cu+ activity was quantitatively described based on a first-order equilibrium model. The effects of DESs species, CuCl concentration, transmembrane pressure, temperature, and time on separation performances were investigated by C2H4/C2H6 mixture permeation experiments. CuCl/ChCl-EG-based SLMs pos...
