A METHOD FOR SEPARATING ACETYLENE AND ETHYLENE FROM A MIXED GAS WHICH COMPRISES: ABSORBING ACETYLENE THEREFROM BY CONTACT OF SAID MIXED GAS AT SUPERATOMOSPHERIC PRESSURE AND AT A PREDETERMINED TEMPERATURE WITH A SUITABLE SOLVENT FOR ACETYLENE; COMPRESSING THE DE-ACETYLENIZED GAS TO AN ELEVATED PRESSURE LEVEL AT LEAST THREE-FOLD THAT OF THE ACETYLENE ABSORPTION; STRIPPING ACETYLENE FROM THE ACETYLENE ENRICHED SOLVENT; CHILLING THE STRIPPED DE-ACETYLENIZED GAS TO AN ELEVATED PERATURE LEVEL AT LEAST 15*C. BELOW THAT OF THE ACETYLENE ABSORPTION; ABSORBING ETHYLENE FROM THE COMPRESSED DE-ACETYLENIZED GAS BY CONTACT WITH THE CHILLED SOLVENT AT THE ELEVATED PRESSURE LEVEL; WARMING AND LOWERING THE PRESSURE OF THE ETHYLENEENRICHED SOLVENT TO ABOUT THE PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS EMPLOYED FOR THE ACETYLENE ABSORPTION TO RELEASE ETHYLENE THEREFROM; AND THEN DIRECTLY CYCLING THE SO DE-ETHYLENIZED SOLVENT TO THE ACETYLENE ABSORPTION, THEREBY EMPLOYING FOR ACETYLENE ABSORPTION IN THE SOLVENT AND FOR ETHYLENE RELEASE FROM THE SOLVENT ESSENTIALLY THE SAME PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS.
