A pressure swing adsorption process for removing light hydrocarbons from a hydrogen stream wherein the process passes the hydrogen stream over a metal organic framework material at a high adsorption pressure, generating an effluent stream with reduced hydrocarbon content. The process then reduces the pressure over the metal organic framework material and releases the hydrocarbon From the material, and generates a stream having hydrocarbons. Further, the process uses multiple adsorption beds comprising the metal organic framework material and cycles the pressures sequentially through the beds to produce a continuous process.
