Abstract
A process is provided for the concentration and recovery of propylene from propane by a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process using an adsorbent comprising AlPO-14. A PSA process is used to remove propylene from a C3 hydrocarbon stream comprising propylene and propane. The PSA process of the present invention can be employed in petroleum refining and petrochemical processes to purify and separate propylene from mixtures of propylene and propane without fractionation.
