Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method for selectively separating a straight-chain conjugated diene with high purity from a mixture containing the straight-chain conjugated diene and at least one type of straight-chain olefin. The method involves separating the straight-chain conjugated diene from the mixture containing the straight-chain conjugated diene and the straight-chain olefin using a zeolite membrane composite. The composite contains a porous support and a zeolite layer formed on the surface and in the fine pores of the support, and the zeolite contains an alkali metal cation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for separating a straight-chain conjugated diene comprising separating the straight-chain conjugated diene from a mixture of the straight-chain conjugated diene and at least one type of straight-chain olefin using a zeolite membrane composite comprising a porous support and a zeolite layer formed on the surface and in fine pores of the support wherein the zeolite comprises an alkali metal as a cation. 2. The method for separating a straight-chain conjugated diene according to claim 1 wherein the zeolite comprises a faujasite type zeolite. 3. The method for separating a straight-chain conjugated diene according to claim 1 wherein the alkali metal is at least one type selected from Na, K, Rb and Cs. 4. The method for separating a straight-chain conjugated diene according to claim 1 wherein the alkali metal consists of Na and Cs. 5. The method for separating a straight-chain conjugated diene according to claim 1 wherein the Cs/Na molar ratio of the alkali metal is from 0.1 to 1.5 mol/mol. 6. The method for separating a straight-chain conjugated diene according to claim 1 wherein the straight-chain conjugated diene is butadiene. 7. The method for separating a straight-chain conjugated diene according to claim 1 wherein the zeolite membrane composite has a 1,3-butadine/1-butene separation coefficient of 1.4 or greater at 60° C. 8. The method for separating a straight-chain conjugated diene according to claim 1 wherein the faujasite type zeolite is a Y-type zeolite. 9. The method for separating a straight-chain conjugated diene according to claim 1 wherein the separation is carried out in coexistence of an inorganic gas with the mixture. 10. The method for separating a straight-chain conjugated diene according to claim 9 wherein the inorganic gas is at least one type selected from helium, argon, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxygen.
