Conspectus The separation of alkane isomers, particularly C5–C6 alkanes, is of paramount importance in the petrochemical industry to achieve high quality gasoline. Upon catalytic isomerization reactions, less branched alkanes (with lower octane number) need to be separated from their more branched i...
