| Abstract |
The development of energy-efficient processes for selective separation of p-xylene from mixtures with its isomers is of vital importance in the petrochemical industries. Current industrial practice uses BaX zeolite that has high adsorption selectivity for p-xylene. Finding para-selective structures is challenging. With state-of-the-art simulation methodologies we systematically screened a wide variety of zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Our investigations highlight the crucial importance of the channel dimension on the separation. MAF-X8 is particularly noteworthy because the channel dimensions and geometry allow "commensurate stacking" which we exploit as a separation mechanism at saturation conditions. Due to a significantly improved capacity compared to BaX, the cycle times for p-xylene with MAF-X8 are found to be about a factor of 4.5 longer. This is expected to result in significant process improvements. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 July 2019.
All research outputs
#7,055,117
of 25,394,764 outputs
Outputs from Angewandte Chemie. International Edition
#21,167
of 50,044 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#63,246
of 244,292 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Angewandte Chemie. International Edition
#309
of 734 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,394,764 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 50,044 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 244,292 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 734 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its contemporaries.
