Growth process and short chain alcohol separation performance of fluoride-containing NaY zeolite membrane

Growth process of the NaY zeolite membranes was investigated by fluoride-containing precursor synthesis gel.Compared with the fluoride-free precursor synthesis gel,the irregular NaY zeolite crystals were dissolved into amorphous by the fluoride-containing precursor synthesis gel initially,the amorphous contained the Y-type zeolite characteristic bands by the IR characterization.The fine square NaY zeolite crystals arose from the amorphous,which were accumulated and gradually grew into a dense NaY zeolite layer on the support surface after 6.5 h.Because the excessive NaY zeolites were dissolved by the strong alkaline and fluoride-containing precursor synthesis gel,there was plenty of amorphous on NaY zeolites layer for prolonging the crystallization time.The assynthesized NaY zeolite membranes had a good separation performance and repeatability for separation of 10 wt%methanol(MeOH)/methyl methacrylate(MMA) mixture by pervaporation,the flux and separation factor were(1.27 ± 0.07) kg·M~(-2)·h~(-1) and(4900 ± 1500) at 323 K,respectively.Besides,the NaY zeolite membranes were applied to separate the other short chain alcohol from the various alcohol/organic ester and alcohol/organic ether mixtures,the NaY zeolite membranes showed high short chain alcohol perm-selectivity.     

Modeling investigation of geometric size effect on pervaporation dehydration through scaled-up hollow fiber NaA zeolite membranes

A mass transfer model in consideration of multi-layer resistances through NaA zeolite membrane and lumen pressure drop in the permeate sidewas developed to describe pervaporation dehydration through scaled-up hollowfiber supported NaA zeolitemembrane. Itwas found that the transfer resistance in the lumen of the permeate side is strongly related with geometric size of hollow fiber zeolite membrane,which could not be neglected. The effect of geometric size on pervaporation dehydration could bemore significant under higher vacuumpressure in the permeate side. The transfer resistance in the lumen increaseswith the hollowfiber length but decreaseswith lumen diameter. The geometric structure could be optimized in terms of the ratio of lumen diameter to membrane length. A critical value of dI/L (Rc) to achieve high permeation flux was empirically correlated with extraction pressure in the permeate side. Typically, for a hollow fiber supported NaA zeolite membrane with length of 0.40 m, the lumen diameter should be larger than 2.0 mm under the extraction pressure of 1500 Pa.     

用于VOC回收的PVDMS-Al2O3中空纤维复合膜

Sorption isotherm of chloroform in polyvinyl dimethylsiloxane （PVDMS） polymer film was measured via the gravimetric method, and this film was confirmed experimentally to be good membrane material to recover chloroform from gas stream with high sorption capacity. A new PVDMS-Al2O3 composite hollow fibre membrane was further prepared by coating a PVDMS film on the outer surface of Al2O3 hollow fibre porpous substrate prepared by a dry/wet phase inversion method. Microstructure of the composite membranes was examined by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, indicating the PVDMS coating layer was uniform, free of defects, and around 15μm thick. Performance of the PVDMS-Al2O3 composite hollow fibre membranes for chloroform recovery was investigated. By comparing the experimental data that derived from a mathematical model, the permeabilities of chloroform and nitrogen in the PVDMS polymer membrane were obtained. The effects of temperature and feed flow rate on the chloroform recovery and permeate concentration were investigated both experimentally and theoretically.     

NaA型分子筛膜用于医药工业异丙醇溶媒渗透汽化脱水(英文)

NaA zeolite membranes with 80 cm in length and 12.8 mm in outer diameter were prepared by our research group cooperating with Nanjing Jiusi Hi-Tech Co., China. The influence of dissolved inorganic salts and pH value in the feed of isopropanol (IPA) solution on NaA zeolite membranes was investigated. It was found that both factors exhibited strong influence on the stability of NaA zeolite membranes. A set of pretreatment steps such as pH adjustment and distillation of the IPA solution were proposed to improve stability for pervaporation dehydration. An industrial-scale pervaporation facility with 52 m2 membrane area was built to dehydrate IPA solution from industrial cephalosporin production. The facility was continuously operated at 368-378 K to dehydrate IPA solution from water mass content of 15%-20% to less than 2% with a feed flow rate of 400-500 L·h-1 and an average water flux of 1-1.5 kg·m-2·h-1. The successful application of this facility suggested a promising application of NaA zeolite mem-brane for IPA recovery from pharmaceutical production.

明胶涂覆于亲水化改性的支撑层上以提高复合膜的结构稳定性和渗透蒸发性能简

The interfacial compatibility of composite membrane is an important factor to its structural stability, andseparation performance. In this study, poly （ether sulfone） （PES） support layer was first hydrophilically modified with poly（vinyl alcohol） （PVA） via surface segregation during the phase inversion process. Gelatin （GE） was then cast on the PVA-modified PES support layer as the active layer followed by crosslinking to fabricate composite membranes for ethanol dehydration. The enrichment of PVA on the surface of support layer improved interfacial compatibility of the as-prepared GE/PVA-PES composite membrane. The water contact angle measurement and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） data confirmed the surface segregation of PVA with a surface coverage density of -80%. T-peel test showed that the maxima/force to separate the support layer and the active layer was enhanced by 3 times compared with the GE/PES membrane. The effects of PVA content in the support layer, crosslinking of GE active layer and operating parameters on the pervaporative dehydration performance were investigated. The operational stability of the composite membrane was tested by immersing the membrane in ethanol aqueous solution for a period of time. Stable pervaporation performance for dehydration of 90% ethanol solution was obtained for GE/PVA-PES membrane with a separation factor of -60 and a permeation flux of -1910 g.m^-2.h1 without peeling over 28 days immersion.     

Fabrication and characterization of novel foaming polyurethane hollow fiber membrane

Foam-like materials had attracted great interest as promising absorbent. In this study, thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU) block sponge was synthesized. Polyester(PET) braid tubular reinforced polyurethane(PU) spongy hollow fiber membrane was prepared by a concentric circular spinning method. The method was woven from an outer coated water-blown PU separation layer and inner PET braid tubular. We have developed a simple and useful preparation technique for the PU spongy hollow fiber membrane. For the first time, the PU spongy hollow fiber membrane was prepared using a coating and controlled foaming technique. The influence of toluene isocyanate index on the physical properties, morphology, and structure of flexible PU sponge was discussed in terms of water contact angle(CA), pure water flux(PWF), Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis(FTIR),pressure-responsive property, and pull-out strength. The morphologies of the membranes were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. We have characterized the foams from an intuitive point of view and demonstrated that the dimensional morphology of the membrane was closely related to isocyanate index. The result showed that the surface cell size of the PU sponge hollow fiber membrane gradually decreased with an increase of the isocyanate index. Due to the elasticity of PU at room temperature, the pressure responsive characteristic of the membrane was prepared. When isocyanate index was 1.05, the interface bonding strength of PU spongy hollow fiber membranes reached as high as 0.37 MPa, porosity and PWF were 71.5% and 415.5 L·m~(-2)·h~(-1),respectively.     

具有固定硅铝比的Al2O3-2SiO2纳米颗粒制备:过程优化与粉体转化（英文）

Attempts had been made to synthesize Al2O3-2SiO2 nanopowders by sol-gel method with tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) and aluminum nitrate(ANN) as the starting materials.DTS,TEM,SEM and BET were employed to study the effects of process parameters on the size,specific surface area and structure(morphology) of powders.The alkali-activation reactivity of the powders was tested for manufacturing geopolymers and their hydrothermal reactions were performed for fabricating zeolites.The results show that the optimum process parameters and drying method for preparing Al2O3-2SiO2 nanopowders are as follows:the molar ratio of water and ethanol to TEOS are 0:1 and 12:1 respectively at synthetic temperature of 50 ℃ and the drying method is azeotropic distillation with microwave drying.The average particle diameters of the powders were about 70 nm and the largest BET specific surface area was up to 669 m2·g·1.The compressive strength of the geopolymer and the calcium exchange capacity(by CaCO3) of NaA zeolite prepared with the powders reached to 29 MPa and 366 mg·g·1 respectively.     

Pd-SiO2复合膜的氢气选择渗透特性

Palladium membranes were prepared on an a-alumina support by metal-organic compound chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method from palladium(Ⅲ) acetate precursor. Permeation properties of hydrogen and helium gas were studied as a function of the number of times of deposition of palladium on the peeling off phenomenon of palladium, which is common in electroless plated membrane, was observed. Silica was introduced into the pores to prevent the palladium grain from peeling off. The palladium-silica conjugated membrane does not show the peeling off phenomenon and can withstand the high temperature up to 800℃ which is the upper limit of our apparatus.The separation factor for hydrogen gas over carbon dioxide gas was improved with the increase of number of times of silica coating by sacrificing the H2 permeation and finally increased to four times. The improvement on the separation of hydrogen gas over carbon dioxide for pulladium-silica conjugated membrane was evaluated and a model of permeation pattern (palladium and silica) was proposed. This model suggests that the separation factor for hydrogen over carbon dioxide could be improved by introducing silica layer because the silica layer fills the pores and reduces the gas permeation without sacrificing the hydrogen permeation through the palladium region. These results indicate that the introduction of silica into the palladium grain is a promising means to improve the hydrogen separation performance of palladium based composite membranes.     

Atomic layer deposition of Al2O3 on porous polypropylene hollow fibers for enhanced membrane performances

Porous polypropylene hollow fiber (PPHF) membranes are widely used in liquid purification.However,the hydrophobicity of polypropylene (PP) has limited its applications in water treatment.Herein,we demonstrate that,for the first time,atomic layer deposition (ALD) is an effective strategy to conveniently upgrade the filtration performances of PPHF membranes.The chemical and morphological changes of the deposited PPHF membranes are characterized by spectral,compositional,microscopic characterizations and protein adsorption measurements.Al2O3 is distributed along the cross section of the PP hollow fibers,with decreasing concentration from the outer surface to the inner surface.The pore size of the outer surface can be easily turned by altering the ALD cycles.Interestingly,the hollow fibers become much more ductile after deposition as their elongation at break is increased more than six times after deposition with 100 cycles.The deposited membranes show simultaneously enhanced water permeance and retention after deposition with moderate ALD cycle numbers.For instance,after 50 ALD cycles a 17％ increase in water permeance and one-fold increase in BSA rejection are observed.Moreover,the PP membranes exhibit improved fouling-resistance after ALD deposition.     

Preparation of zeolite NaA membranes on the inner side of tubular supports by means of a controlled seeding technique

Zeolite NaA membranes have been reproducibly prepared by seeded hydrothermal synthesis on the internal surface of porous -alumina tubular supports. A cross-flow filtration technique has been developed to allow a controlled seeding of zeolite NaA crystals from a suspension according to transmembrane pressure, pH, seed suspension flow rate, crystal size and concentration.

With this procedure, zeolite membranes with selectivities up to 600 at fluxes of 0.50 kg m⁻² h⁻¹ were obtained in the pervaporation of 92:8 wt.% ethanol/water mixtures at 323 K.

Effect of cellulose buffer layer on synthesis and gas permeation properties of NaA zeolite membrane

NaA zeolite membrane coating was successfully synthesized on a porous alumina substrate by hydrothermal treatment. The effects of synthesis parameters like, seeding type (ex situ, in situ), time, temperature, sol concentration, coating stages, application of intermediate layer, etc. on membrane characteristics were investigated. A continuous membrane was formed on a seeded substrate. Surface seeding (ex situ crystallization) not only accelerates the zeolite crystallization process on the support surface, but can also enhance the formation of homogeneous NaA zeolite layer. The NaA zeolite membrane with a synthesis time of 4 h shows the best microstructure and the quality of membrane was improved by employing the multi-stage coating. But the main problem associated with membrane synthesis was crack formation, and it can be reduced by applying intermediate layer, between support surface and seed layer. A thin cellulose layer was applied to the support surface before applying seed crystals. The performance of the membranes was evaluated by gas permeation measurement. The permeance of O₂, N₂ decreased as kinetic diameter of gases increased. The permselectivity of O₂/N₂ was 1.9–2.34. This value showed the molecular sieving effect of NaA zeolite membrane.
