A new absorption system of [Bmim][Cl]-organic solvent-CuCl for separation of propylene from propane. Such a system with lower viscosity and higher propylene solubility (0.064 mol/L at 298 K/2 bar) and selectivity of 6:1. Regenerability and recyclability of system with negligible activity loss. A class of new potential absorbent for separation of propylene from propane.
