Removing trace alkyne contaminants in crude ethylene is challenging by traditional catalytic hydrogenation. Now, adsorptive separation through advanced materials design selectively

sequesters alkynes in a single-step pathway to produce high-purity ethylene from complex mixtures. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content,
