Light hydrocarbons, obtained through the petroleum refining process, are used in numer-ous applications. The separation of the various light hydrocarbons is challenging and expensive due to their similar melting and boiling points. Alternative methods have been investigated to supple-ment cryogenic distillation, which is energy intensive. Membrane technology, on the other hand, can be an attractive alternative in light hydrocarbon separation as a phase change that is known to be energy�intensive is not required during the separation. In this regard, this study focuses on recent advances in mixed�matrix membranes (MMMs) for light hydrocarbon (C1�C3) separation based on gas permeability and selectivity. Moreover, the future research and development direction of MMMs in light hydrocarbon separation is discussed, considering the low intrinsic gas permeability of polymeric membranes. © 2022 by the authors.
