Selective separation of ethylene and ethane (C 2 H 4 /C 2 H 6 ) is a formidable challenge due to their close molecular size and boiling point. Compared to industry‐used cryogenic distillation, adsorption separation would offer a more energy‐efficient solution when an efficient adsorbent is available...
