Here, we report that 973 K-steamed cesium ZK-5 zeolite with a framework Si/Al ratio of 16 (Cs-ZK-5-16-973) shows high propylene uptake and propylene/propane selectivity (1.9 mmol g−1 and 2.4, respectively) at 298 K and atmospheric pressure, together with fast adsorption kinetics, mainly due to its modified 8-ring window dimensions. More interestingly, no significant loss in uptake or selectivity was observed even after repeated adsorption–desorption cycling under vacuum-swing adsorption mode and dynamic breakthrough experiments, which may be a result of the lack of strong acid sites to induce propylene oligomerization at room temperature. This impressive regeneration is comparable with the behavior of the pure-silica small-pore zeolite ITQ-12, but much better than that of Na-A and Ca-A, rendering Cs-ZK-5-16-973 potentially useful for selective propylene/propane separation.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Adsorption kinetics,Breakthrough experiment,Cryogenic distillations,Green chemistry,Propylene oligomerization,Propylene/propane separation,Small-pore zeolites,Vacuum swing adsorptions[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Dealuminated Cs-ZK-5,Propylene oligomerization,Propylene/propane separation,Regeneration[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This work was supported by the National Creative Research Initiative Program ( 2012R1A3A-2048833 ) through the National Research Foundation of Korea .[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2020.127422[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
