Abstract
Adsorptive separation using porous materials is a promising approach for separating alkynes/olefins due to its energy efficiency, while the deep removal of trace amounts of C2H2 and CO2 from C2H4 is still very challenging for a commercial adsorbent. Herein, we report a low-cost inorganic metal cation-mediated mordenite (MOR) zeolite with the specific location and distribution of K+ cations acting as a goalkeeper for accurately controlling diffusion channels, as evidence of the experimental and simulation results. Deep purification of C2H4 from ternary CO2/C2H2/C2H4 mixtures was first realized on K-MOR with exceptional results, achieving a remarkable polymer-grade C2H4 productivity of 1742 L kg-1 for the CO2/C2H2/C2H4 mixture. Our approach which only involves adjusting the equilibrium ions, is both promising and cost-effective, and opens up new possibilities for the use of zeolites in the industrial light hydrocarbon adsorption and purification process.

Abstract
Computational methods are described that model accurately the structure of hydrated Ca-bearing zeolites. Using Goosecreekite as a model system we probe the influence of framework ordering, cation siting and hydration of pores on the structure and its stability. We develop a methodology which allows the location of Al within the framework to be determined together with the position of extra-framework cations, in a stepwise fashion, progressing from an anhydrous model, via a dielectric continuum model, to finally, a fully atomistic model of the water in the intrazeolite pore space. Our methods reveal the complex interplay of short- and long-range interactions on the optimal structure of such materials.

Abstract
We report a series of Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations of water adsorption in NaY and NaX faujasite, as well as in silicalite-1. Computed adsorption isotherms and heats of adsorption were in good agreement with the available experiments. The existence of cyclic water hexamers in NaX located in the 12-ring windows, recently disclosed by neutron diffraction experiments (Hunger et al., J. Phys. Chem. B, 2006, 110, 342-353) was reproduced in our simulations. Interestingly enough, such cyclic hexamer clusters were also observed in the case of NaY, in which no stabilizing cation is present in the 12-ring window. We also report cation redistribution upon water adsorption for sodium faujasite with varying cation contents (Si ratio Al ratio in the range 1.53-3). A simple and transferable forcefield was used, that enabled to reproduce the different aspects of water physisorption in stable zeolites. The high pressure water condensation in hydrophobic silicalite-1 was reproduced without any parameter readjustment. The method and forcefield used here should be useful for engineering oriented applications such as the prediction of multi-component mixture adsorptive separations in various stable zeolites. It allows to address the issue of the effect of the small amounts of water that are almost inevitably present in zeolite-based separation processes.
