Ag + was introduced into *BEA‐type zeolite membrane by an ion‐exchange method to enhance olefin selectivity. Ag−*BEA membrane exhibited superior olefin separation performance for both ethylene/ethane and propylene/propane mixtures. Particularly, the separation factor for ethylene at 373 K reached 57 with the ethylene permeance of 1.6×10 −7 mol m −2 s −1 Pa −1 . Adsorption properties of olefin and paraffin were evaluated to discuss contribution of Ag + to separation performance enhancement. A strong interaction between olefin and Ag + in the membrane caused preferential adsorption of olefin against paraffin, leading to selective permeation of olefin. Ag−*BEA membrane also exhibited high olefin selectivities from olefin/N 2 mixtures. The affinity‐based separation through Ag−*BEA membrane showed a high potential for olefin recovery and purification from various gas mixtures.
