Silver-mediated separations: A comprehensive review on advancements of argentation chromatography, facilitated transport membranes, and solid-phase extraction techniques and their applications. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1705:464133. [PMID: 37329654 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.464133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The use of silver(I) ions in chemical separations, also known as argentation separations, is a powerful approach for the selective separation and analysis of many natural and synthetic organic compounds. In this review, a comprehensive discussion of the most common argentation separation techniques, including argentation-liquid chromatography (Ag-LC), argentation-gas chromatography (Ag-GC), argentation-facilitated transport membranes (Ag-FTMs), and argentation-solid phase extraction (Ag-SPE) is provided. For each of these techniques, notable advancements, optimized separations, and innovative applications are discussed. The review begins with an explanation of the fundamental chemistry underlying argentation separations, mainly the reversible π-complexation between silver(I) ions and carbon-carbon double bonds. Within Ag-LC, the use of silver(I) ions in thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, as well as preparative LC are explored. This discussion focuses on how silver(I) ions are employed in the stationary and mobile phase to separate unsaturated compounds. For Ag-GC and Ag-FTMs, different silver compounds and supporting media are discussed, often with relation to olefin-paraffin separations. Ag-SPE has been widely employed for the selective extraction of unsaturated compounds from complex matrices in sample preparation. This comprehensive review of Ag-LC, Ag-GC, Ag-FTMs, and Ag-SPE techniques emphasizes the immense potential of argentation separations in separations science and serves as a valuable resource for researchers seeking to learn, optimize, and utilize argentation separations.

Ryoo D, Eor P, Bara JE, Anderson JL. Comparison of olefin/paraffin separation by ionic liquid and polymeric ionic liquid stationary phases containing silver(I) ion using one-dimensional and multidimensional gas chromatography. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1698:463996. [PMID: 37087854 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.463996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023]
Abstract
Silver(I) ions have been used in various studies as components within polymer membranes or ionic liquids (ILs) to enable separation of olefins from paraffins. Polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) are a class of polymers synthesized from IL monomers and typically possess higher thermal and chemical stability than the ILs from which they are formed. Until now, very little is known about the difference in strength of silver(I) ion-olefin interactions when they take place in an IL compared to a PIL. In this work, the chromatographic separation of olefins by stationary phases composed of silver(I) bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide ([Ag+][NTf2-]) incorporated into the 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium NTf2 ([HMIM+][NTf2-]) IL and poly(1-hexyl-3-vinylimidazolium NTf2) (poly([HVIM+][NTf2-])) PIL at varying concentrations was investigated. Olefins were more highly retained by silver(I) ions in PILs than in ILs as the silver(I) salt concentration in the stationary was increased. The potential separation power of silver(I)-containing IL and PIL stationary phases in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) was compared to the conventional one-dimensional system. The separation selectivity of alkenes and alkynes from paraffins was significantly increased, while dienes and aromatic compounds showed insignificant changes in retention. The chemical structural features of IL and PIL that enhance silver(I) ion stability and olefin separation were investigated by using silver(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate ([Ag+][OTf-]), 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium NTf2 ([DMIM+][NTf2-]) IL, poly(1-decyl-3-vinylimidazolium NTf2 (poly([DVIM+][NTf2-])) PIL, [HMIM+][OTf-] IL and poly([HVIM+][OTf-]) PIL. Longer alkyl substituents appended to the IL (and PIL) cation increased the strength of silver(I) olefin interaction, and [OTf-] anions in the IL (and PIL) tended to preserve silver(I) ion from thermal reduction, while also retaining olefins less than the [NTf2-]-containing columns. In general, silver(I) ions in PILs possessing analogous chemical structures to ILs exhibited higher silver(I) ion-olefin interaction strength but were less thermally stable.

Abstract
The application of membrane-based separation processes for propylene/propane (C3 H6 /C3 H8 ) is extremely promising and attractive as it is poised to reduce the high operation cost of the established low temperature distillation process, but major challenges remain in achieving high gas selectivity/permeability and long-term membrane stability. Herein, a C3 H6 facilitated transport membrane using trisilver pyrazolate (Ag3 pz3 ) as a carrier filler is reported, which is uniformly dispersed in a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) matrix at the molecular level (≈15 nm), verified by several analytical techniques, including 3D-reconstructed focused ion beam scanning electron microscropy (FIB-SEM) tomography. The π-acidic Ag3 pz3 combines preferentially with π-basic C3 H6 , which is confirmed by density functional theory calculations showing that the silver ions in Ag3 pz3 form a reversible π complex with C3 H6 , endowing the membranes with superior C3 H6 affinity. The resulting membranes exhibit superior stability, C3 H6 /C3 H8 selectivity as high as ≈200 and excellent C3 H6 permeability of 306 Barrer, surpassing the upper bound selectivity/permeability performance line of polymeric membranes. This work provides a conceptually new approach of using coordinatively unsaturated 0D complexes as fillers in mixed matrix membranes, which can accomplish olefin/alkane separation with high performance.

Abstract
Propylene is a crucial building block to produce many industrial-scale chemicals including polypropylene. The separation of propylene from propane to reach the high-purity levels needed for downstream applications is a difficult task due to the close similarities in their physical properties. The olefin/paraffin separation including that involving propylene mainly relies on highly energy-intensive distillation processes and accounts for nearly 0.3% of the global energy consumption. The utility of a copper complex supported by a fluorinated bis(pyrazolyl)borate is demonstrated to accomplish the separation of propylene from propane repeatedly, under mild conditions with high selectivity. Complete characterization of a rare, copper(I) propylene complex is also reported including the molecular structure.

Abstract
Specific-ion selectivity is a highly desirable feature for the next generation of membranes. However, existing membranes rely on differences in charge, size and hydration energy, which limits their ability to target individual ion species. Here we demonstrate a nanocomposite ion-exchange membrane material that enables a reverse-selective transport mechanism that can selectively pass a single ion species. We demonstrate this transport mechanism with phosphate ions selectively transporting across negatively charged cation exchange membranes. Selective transport is enabled by the in situ growth of hydrous manganese oxide nanoparticles throughout a cation exchange membrane that provide a diffusion pathway via phosphate-specific, reversible outer-sphere interactions. On incorporating the hydrous manganese oxide nanoparticles, the membrane's phosphate flux increased by a factor of 27 over an unmodified cation exchange membrane, and the selectivity of phosphorous over sulfate, nitrate and chloride reaches 47, 100 and 20, respectively. By pairing ion-specific outer-sphere interactions between the target ions and appropriate nanoparticles, these nanocomposite ion-exchange materials can, in principle, achieve selective transport for a range of ions.

Abstract
Purification of C2 H4 from an C2 H4 /C2 H6 mixture is one of the most challenging separation processes, which is achieved mainly through energy-intensive, cryogenic distillation in industry. Sustainable, non-distillation methods are highly desired as alternatives. We discovered that the fluorinated bis(pyrazolyl)borate ligand supported copper(I) complex {[(CF3 )2 Bp]Cu}3 has features very desirable in an olefin-paraffin separation material. It binds ethylene exclusively over ethane generating [(CF3 )2 Bp]Cu(C2 H4 ). This molecular compound exhibits extremely high and record ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) C2 H4 /C2 H6 gas separation selectivity, affording high purity (>99.5 %) ethylene that can be readily desorbed from separation columns. In-situ PXRD provides a "live" picture of the reversible conversion between [(CF3 )2 Bp]Cu(C2 H4 ) and the ethylene-free sorbent in the solid-state, driven by the presence or removal of C2 H4 . Molecular structures of trinuclear {[(CF3 )2 Bp]Cu}3 and mononuclear [(CF3 )2 Bp]Cu(C2 H4 ) are also presented.

Abstract
The separation of ethane/ethylene mixture by using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as adsorbents is strongly associated with the pore size-sieving effect and the adsorbent-adsorbate interaction. Herein, solid-state NMR spectroscopy is utilized to explore the host-guest interaction and ethane/ethylene separation mechanism on zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs). Preferential access to the ZIF-8 and ZIF-8-90 frameworks by ethane compared to ethylene is directly visualized from two-dimensional 1 H-1 H spin diffusion MAS NMR spectroscopy and further verified by computational density distributions. The 1 H MAS NMR spectroscopy provides an alternative for straightforwardly extracting the adsorption selectivity of ethane/ethylene mixture at 1.1∼9.6 bar in ZIFs, which is consistent with the IAST predictions.

Abstract
In this study, the separation performance of propylene and propane on SAPO-17 molecular sieve was investigated by static and dynamic adsorption. The adsorbent possessed good regeneration behavior because the strong adsorption of propylene at room temperature was eliminated by ion exchange treatment. Dynamic adsorption experiments revealed that the kinetic separation selectivity of propylene and propane was as high as 1980, which could be attributed to the energy barrier difference when diffusing through the eight-membered ring of SAPO-17 molecular sieve. The breakthrough experiments verified the good separation performance of the SAPO-17 adsorbent, which suggests that it has considerable application potential in propylene/propane separation.

Abstract
Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes have been developed to replace or support energy-intensive cryogenic distillation for olefin/paraffin separation. Olefin and paraffin have similar molecular properties, but can be separated effectively by a CMS membrane with a rigid, slit-like pore structure. A variety of polymer precursors can give rise to different outcomes in terms of the structure and performance of CMS membranes. Herein, for olefin/paraffin separation, the CMS membranes derived from a number of polymer precursors (such as polyimides, phenolic resin, and polymers of intrinsic microporosity, PIM) are introduced, and olefin/paraffin separation properties of those membranes are summarized. The effects from incorporation of inorganic materials into polymer precursors and from a pyrolysis process on the properties of CMS membranes are also reviewed. Finally, the prospects and future directions of CMS membranes for olefin/paraffin separation and aging issues are discussed.

Abstract
Molecular separations that enable selective transport of target molecules from gas and liquid molecular mixtures, such as CO2 capture, olefin/paraffin separations, and organic solvent nanofiltration, represent the most energy sensitive and significant demands. Membranes are favored for molecular separations owing to the advantages of energy efficiency, simplicity, scalability, and small environmental footprint. A number of emerging microporous organic materials have displayed great potential as building blocks of molecular separation membranes, which not only integrate the rigid, engineered pore structures and desirable stability of inorganic molecular sieve membranes, but also exhibit a high degree of freedom to create chemically rich combinations/sequences. To gain a deep insight into the intrinsic connections and characteristics of these microporous organic material-based membranes, in this review, for the first time, we propose the concept of organic molecular sieve membranes (OMSMs) with a focus on the precise construction of membrane structures and efficient intensification of membrane processes. The platform chemistries, designing principles, and assembly methods for the precise construction of OMSMs are elaborated. Conventional mass transport mechanisms are analyzed based on the interactions between OMSMs and penetrate(s). Particularly, the 'STEM' guidelines of OMSMs are highlighted to guide the precise construction of OMSM structures and efficient intensification of OMSM processes. Emerging mass transport mechanisms are elucidated inspired by the phenomena and principles of the mass transport processes in the biological realm. The representative applications of OMSMs in gas and liquid molecular mixture separations are highlighted. The major challenges and brief perspectives for the fundamental science and practical applications of OMSMs are tentatively identified.

Abstract
The similar physico-chemical properties of propylene and propane molecules have made the separation process of propylene/propane challenging. Membrane separation techniques show substantial prospects in propylene/propane separation due to their low energy consumption and investment costs, and they have been proposed to replace or to be combined with the conventional cryogenic distillation process. Over the past decade, organosilica membranes have attracted considerable attention due to their significant features, such as their good molecular sieving properties and high hydrothermal stability. In the present review, holistic insight is provided to summarize the recent progress in propylene/propane separation using polymeric, inorganic, and hybrid membranes, and a particular inspection of organosilica membranes is conducted. The importance of the pore subnano-environment of organosilica membranes is highlighted, and future directions and perspectives for propylene/propane separation are also provided.

Abstract
Nowadays, ion-exchange membranes have numerous applications in water desalination, electrolysis, chemistry, food, health, energy, environment and other fields. All of these applications require high selectivity of ion transfer, i.e., high membrane permselectivity. The transport properties of ion-exchange membranes are determined by their structure, composition and preparation method. For various applications, the selectivity of transfer processes can be characterized by different parameters, for example, by the transport number of counterions (permselectivity in electrodialysis) or by the ratio of ionic conductivity to the permeability of some gases (crossover in fuel cells). However, in most cases there is a correlation: the higher the flux density of the target component through the membrane, the lower the selectivity of the process. This correlation has two aspects: first, it follows from the membrane material properties, often expressed as the trade-off between membrane permeability and permselectivity; and, second, it is due to the concentration polarization phenomenon, which increases with an increase in the applied driving force. In this review, both aspects are considered. Recent research and progress in the membrane selectivity improvement, mainly including a number of approaches as crosslinking, nanoparticle doping, surface modification, and the use of special synthetic methods (e.g., synthesis of grafted membranes or membranes with a fairly rigid three-dimensional matrix) are summarized. These approaches are promising for the ion-exchange membranes synthesis for electrodialysis, alternative energy, and the valuable component extraction from natural or waste-water. Perspectives on future development in this research field are also discussed.

Abstract
The adsorption separation of gaseous olefin/paraffin using porous materials has been extensively studied from both experimental and molecular simulation perspectives, while the adsorption separation of liquid-phase olefin/paraffin has been much less studied. One of the most important reasons for this is that it is difficult to measure the actual adsorption capacity of liquid-phase adsorption separation directly through experiments, and the simulation results of most studies are compared to gas-phase measurements. In this paper, the selective adsorption of linear α-olefins from three binary liquid-phase olefin/paraffin mixtures, 1-hexene/n-hexane (C6), 1-octene/n-octane (C8), and 1-decene/n-decane (C10), by zeolite adsorbents was systematically investigated using batch adsorption experiments and configurational-bias grand canonical Monte Carlo (CB-GCMC) simulations. In the batch experiments, based on the liquid-phase measurement method of the actual adsorption capacity that we developed, a modified commercial 5A zeolite with a relatively large pore volume and surface area was used for adsorption. The results showed that the modified 5A zeolite had larger actual adsorption capacities for C6 and C8 linear α-olefins, which increased by 51% and 56%, respectively, than the standard 5A zeolite that was used in our previous work. The adsorption isotherms of C6, C8, and C10 in the 5A and 13X zeolites were calculated by CB-GCMC simulations. The visualized results of density profiles showed that the olefin molecules were densely distributed at the edge of the zeolite cages and that there were cases where a single molecule was adsorbed over two adjacent cages. The good agreement between the experimental and simulated data proves the completeness of the liquid-phase measurement method that we developed and the reliability of the simulation prediction.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent the largest known class of porous crystalline materials ever synthesized. Their narrow pore windows and nearly unlimited structural and chemical features have made these materials of significant interest for membrane-based gas separations. In this comprehensive review, we discuss opportunities and challenges related to the formation of pure MOF films and mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). Common and emerging separation applications are identified, and membrane transport theory for MOFs is described and contextualized relative to the governing principles that describe transport in polymers. Additionally, cross-cutting research opportunities using advanced metrologies and computational techniques are reviewed. To quantify membrane performance, we introduce a simple membrane performance score that has been tabulated for all of the literature data compiled in this review. These data are reported on upper bound plots, revealing classes of MOF materials that consistently demonstrate promising separation performance. Recommendations are provided with the intent of identifying the most promising materials and directions for the field in terms of fundamental science and eventual deployment of MOF materials for commercial membrane-based gas separations.

Abstract
poly ether-block-amide (PEBAX)-2533/metal salt/Al salt membranes were prepared for mixed olefin/paraffin separation. PEBAX-2533 with 80% ether group and 20% amide group was suggested as the polymer matrix for comparison of separation performance according to the functional group ratio in copolymer PEBAX. In addition, Al salts were used to stabilize metal ions for a long time as additives. High permeance was expected with the proportion of high ether groups, since these functional groups provided relatively permeable regions. As a result, the PEBAX-2533 composite membrane showed a selectivity of 5 (propylene/propane) with 10 GPU. However, the permeance of membrane was not unexpectedly improved and the selectivity was reduced. The result was analyzed by using SEM, RAMAN and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), including Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The reduction in separation performance was determined by using FT-IR. Based on these results, in order to stabilize the metal ions interacting with the polymer through Al(NO3)3, it was concluded that a specific ratio of the amide group was needed in PEBAX as a polymer matrix.

Abstract
Bibliometric studies allow to collect, organize and process information that can be used to guide the development of research and innovation and to provide basis for decision-making. Paraffin/olefin separations constitute an important industrial issue because cryogenic separation methods are frequently needed in industrial sites and are very expensive. As a consequence, the use of membrane separation processes has been extensively encouraged and has become an attractive alternative for commercial separation processes, as this may lead to reduction of production costs, equipment size, energy consumption and waste generation. For these reasons, a bibliometric survey of paraffin/olefin membrane separation processes is carried out in the present study in order to evaluate the maturity of the technology for this specific application. Although different studies have proposed the use of distinct alternatives for olefin/paraffin separations, the present work makes clear that consensus has yet to be reached among researchers and technicians regarding the specific membranes and operation conditions that will make these processes scalable for large-scale commercial applications.

Abstract
Facilitated transport membrane for separating light olefins, using transition metals like silver and copper as carriers, is a promising way to replace traditional energy-consuming methods. Here, we construct ionic liquid (IL) to fill the nanoslits of laminated graphene oxide (GO) membrane with silver ions as a carrier to separate ethylene/ethane. The nanoslits of GO membrane efficiently prevent the loss of silver ion IL solution. The IL further slows down the reduction of silver ions. The membrane with silver concentration of 0.25 M shows the best performance with a selectivity of 54 for ethylene/ethane and ethylene permeance of 2.9 GPU. This performance is superior to other silver ion IL solution membranes and competitive among the reported facilitated transport membranes.

Abstract
One of the main initiatives for fighting climate change is to use carbon dioxide as a resource instead of waste. In this respect, thermocatalytic carbon dioxide hydrogenation to high-added-value chemicals is a promising process. Among the products of this reaction (alcohols, alkanes, olefins, or aromatics), light olefins are interesting because they are building blocks for making polymers, as well as other important chemicals. Olefins are mainly produced from fossil fuel sources, but the increasing demand of plastics boosts the need to develop more sustainable synthetic routes. This review gives a critical overview of the most recent achievements in direct carbon dioxide hydrogenation to light olefins, which can take place through two competitive routes: the modified Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and methanol-mediated synthesis. Both routes are compared in terms of catalyst development, reaction performance, and reaction mechanisms. Furthermore, practical aspects of the commercialization of this reaction, such as renewable hydrogen production and carbon dioxide capture, compression, and transport, are discussed. It is concluded that, to date, the catalysts used in the carbon dioxide hydrogenation reaction give a wide product distribution, which reduces the specific selectivity to lower olefins. More efforts are needed to reach better control of the C/H surface ratio and interactions within the functionalities of the catalyst, as well as understanding the reaction mechanism and avoiding deactivation. Renewable H2 production and carbon dioxide capture and transport technologies are being developed, although they are currently still too expensive for industrial application.

Abstract
PEBAX-5513/AgBF4/Al(NO3)3 membranes were fabricated for mixed olefin/paraffin separation. In order to improve the selectivity of the membranes utilizing PEBAX-1657, PEBAX-5513, which increased the ratio of amide groups from 40% to 60% in the copolymer, was used. The selectivity and permeance of the membranes were 7.7 and 11.1 GPU, respectively. Furthermore, the PEBAX–5513/AgBF4/Al(NO3)3 membranes had long-term stability because of Al(NO3) to have the stabilizing effect on Ag+ ions acting as an olefin carrier. Unexpectedly, the performance of the membrane selectivity was not improved, and the permeance became rather lower. Generally, when Ag+ ions was added to the polymer containing amide groups, the selectivity increased with the content of the amide groups. However, Al(NO3)3 was added for the stability of Ag+ ions and there was no increase in selectivity. Since the ratio of amide was high, Ag+ ions were favorably in coordination with the oxygen of the carbonyl group, but the NO3− ions in Al(NO3)3 had the enhanced interaction with Ag+ ions as obstacles for olefin complexation. Therefore, the composition ratio of amide/ether in the polymer matrix was negligible for olefin separation.

Abstract
Abstract
The separation and purification of light hydrocarbons are significant challenges in the petrochemical and chemical industries. Because of the growing demand for light hydrocarbons and the environmental and economic issues of traditional separation technologies, much effort has been devoted to developing highly efficient separation techniques. Accordingly, polymeric membranes have gained increasing attention because of their low costs and energy requirements compared with other technologies; however, their industrial exploitation is often hampered because of the trade-off between selectivity and permeability. In this regard, high-performance mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) are prepared by embedding various organic and/or inorganic fillers into polymeric materials. MMMs exhibit the advantageous and disadvantageous properties of both polymer and filler materials. In this review, the influence of filler on polymer chain packing and membrane sieving properties are discussed. Furthermore, the influential parameters affecting MMMs affinity toward hydrocarbons separation are addressed. Selection criteria for a suitable combination of polymer and filler are discussed. Moreover, the challenges arising from polymer/filler interactions are analyzed to allow for the successful implementation of this promising class of membranes.

Abstract
As primary feedstocks in the petrochemical industry, light olefins such as ethylene and propylene are mainly obtained from steam cracking of naphtha and short chain alkanes (ethane and propane). Due to their similar physical properties, the separations of olefins and paraffins-pivotal processes to meet the olefin purity requirement of downstream processing-are typically performed by highly energy-intensive cryogenic distillation at low temperatures and high pressures. To reduce the energy input and save costs, adsorptive olefin/paraffin separations have been proposed as promising techniques to complement or even replace cryogenic distillation, and growing efforts have been devoted to developing advanced adsorbents to fulfill this challenging task. In this Review, a holistic view of olefin/paraffin separations is first provided by summarizing how different processes have been established to leverage the differences between olefins and paraffins for effective separations. Subsequently, recent advances in the development of porous materials for adsorptive olefin/paraffin separations are highlighted with an emphasis on different separation mechanisms. Last, a perspective on possible directions to push the limit of the research in this field is presented.
