A novel fructose-based adsorbent with high capacity and its ethane-selective adsorption property

The fructose-based activated carbon materials C-Fru-X-700 showed ethane-selective adsorption property. The ethane/ethylene adsorption were significantly high at 25 ℃ and 100 kPa. Computational simulations revealed that the surface Osite1, Osite2 and Osite3 sites of the materials are the favorably adsorptive sites of C2H6.251
