Abstract

This paper describes the extraction of C₅–C₈ linear α-olefins from olefin/paraffin mixtures of the same carbon number via a reversible complexation with a silver salt (silver bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, Ag[Tf₂N]) to form room temperature ionic liquids [Ag(olefin)_x][Tf₂N]. From the experimental (liquid + liquid) equilibrium data for the olefin/paraffin mixtures and Ag[Tf₂N], 1-pentene showed the best separation performance while C₇ and C₈ olefins could only be separated from the corresponding mixtures on addition of water which also improves the selectivity at lower carbon numbers like the C₅ and C₆, for example. Using infrared and Raman spectroscopy of the complex and Ag[Tf₂N] saturated by olefin, the mechanism of the extraction was found to be based on both chemical complexation and the physical solubility of the olefin in the ionic liquid ([Ag(olefin)_x][Tf₂N]). These experiments further support the use of such extraction techniques for the separation of olefins from paraffins.
