Abstract

Zwitterionic silver complexes, prepared from the reactions of silver salts with 1-methyl-3-sulfopropylimidazolium, 1-methyl-3-sulfopropyrrolydinium, 1-methyl-3-sulfopropylpiperidinium, or 1-methyl-3-sulfopropyl-morpholium, were used as transport carriers for theseparation C2-C5 olefins from paraffin mixtures through composite membranes. All the membranes containing zwitterionic silver complexes exhibited high selectivities for olefins over paraffins, which are comparable to those obtained with fluoroionomer membranes like Nafion. Elemental and spectroscopic analysis of the prepared zwitterionic silver complexes indicated that most of the complexes are adducts of a silver salt and a sulfonated zwitterionic compound.
