This work mainly involved the adsorption separation of vinyl chloride and acetylene on modified activated carbons. Six metal ions with different hardness were loaded on activated carbon respectively. The effect of metal ions on the adsorption separation performance of vinyl chloride and acetylene was investigated. The experimental results shown that the separation factor of C2H3Cl to C2H2 over modified activated carbon followed the order: Al(III)/AC > Mg(II)/AC > Fe(III)/AC > AC > Zn(II)/AC ≒ Cu(II)/AC > Ag(I)/AC. The effect of the hardness of metal ions on the adsorption capacity of C2H2 was more remarkable than that of C2H3Cl, thus the separation factor of C2H3Cl to C2H2 increased with the rising of absolute hardness of the metal ions.
