In situ constructed zeolite membranes on rough supports with the assistance of reticulated hydrotalcite interlayer
RSC ADVANCES(2021)
Abstract
Zeolite membranes with unique physical and chemical properties are emerging as attractive candidates for membrane separation. However, defects in the zeolite layer seriously affect their molecular sieving performance. In this study, a novel strategy for preparing compact zeolite membranes on rough supports with the assistance of a reticulated hydrotalcite layer was developed. The reticulated hydrotalcite layer was grown on the inner surface of a 170 mm length ceramic tube by an in situ hydrothermal method, and a NaA zeolite membrane was prepared on this reticulated layer by the microwave-heating method. The hydrotalcite interlayer could not only improve the smoothness and regularity of the surface of the support but also fix the Si/Al active ingredients using its reticulate structure, finally effectively improving the quality and stability of the zeolite layer. The optimal molar ratio of the synthesis solution for the synthesis of the zeolite membrane was 3Na(2)O : 2SiO(2) : Al2O3 : 200H(2)O. The permeance flux of H-2 through the zeolite membrane synthesized under the optimal conditions was high as 0.47 x 10(-6) mol m(-2) s(-1) Pa-1, and its permselectivity for H-2 over N-2 was 4.7, which was higher than the corresponding Knudsen diffusion coefficient. This study provides a new idea for the preparation of defect-free membranes on rough supports.
