ABSTRACT

This study explores the development of a low-energy, low-pollution, and efficient gasoline fraction separation technology using a water-soluble organometallic supramolecular cage. With the growing demand for petroleum and the environmental challenges posed by traditional extraction methods, this research aims to improve the efficiency of gasoline extraction from crude oil. A hybrid metal-organic cage was synthesized using a ligation-driven self-assembly strategy, featuring a specific cavity that selectively screens gasoline fractions based on molecular size and shape. The experimental process involved separating simulated gasoline, commercial gasoline, and crude oil, demonstrating the cage's potential for selective extraction. The findings contribute to advancements in separation technologies for the petrochemical industry and offer a pathway toward more sustainable petroleum refining processes.
