Oxygen permeation and phase structure properties of partially A-site substituted BaCo_(0.7)Fe_(0.225)Ta_(0.075)O_(3-δ) perovskites

Ba0.9R0.1Co0.7Fe0.225Ta0.075O3-δ(BRCFT, R = Ca, La or Sr) membranes were synthesized by a solid-state reaction. Metal cation Ca2+,La3+or Sr2+doping on A-site partially substituted Ba2+in BaCo0.7Fe0.225Ta0.075O3-δoxides, and its subsequent effects on phase structure stability, oxygen permeability and oxygen desorption were systematically investigated by XRD, TG-DSC, H2-TPR, O2-TPD techniques and oxygen permeation experiments. The partial substitution with Ca2+, La3+or Sr2+, whose ionic radii are smaller than that of Ba2+, succeeded in stabilizing the cubic perovskite structure without formation of impurity phases, as revealed by XRD analysis. Oxygen-involving experiments showed that BRCFT with A-site fully occupied by Ba2+exhibited good oxygen permeation flux under He flow, reaching about 2.3mL min-1 cm-2at 900 ℃ with 1 mm thickness. Of all the membranes, BLCFT membrane showed better chemical stability in CO2, owing to the reduction in alkalinity of the mixed conductor oxide by La doping. In addition, we also found the stability of the perovskite structure under reducing atmospheres was strengthened by increasing the size of A-site cation(Ba2+La3+Sr2+Ca2+).     

Partial oxidation of methane in Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.1Ni0.1O3-δ ceramic membrane reactor

Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.1Ni0.1O3δ(BSCFNiO) perovskite oxides were synthesized using a combined EDTA-citrate complexation method,and then pressed into disk and applied in a membrane reactor.The performance of the BSCFNiO membrane reactor was studied for partial oxidation of methane over Ni/α-Al 2 O 3 catalyst.The time dependence of oxygen permeation rate and catalytic performance of BSCFNiO membrane during the catalyst initiation stage were investigated at 850 C.In unsteady state,oxygen permeation rate,methane conversion and CO selectivity were closely related to the state of the catalyst.After 300 min from the initial time,the reaction condition reached to steady state and oxygen permeation rate were obtained about 11.7cm 3 cm 2 min 1.Also,the performance of membrane reactor was studied at the temperatures between 750 and 950 C.The results demonstrated good performance for the membrane reactor,as CH 4 conversion and CO selectivity permeation rate reached 98% and 97.5%,respectively,and oxygen permeation rate was about 14.5 cm 3 cm 2 min 1 which was 6.8 times higher than that of air-helium gradient.Characterization of membrane surface by SEM after reaction showed that the original grains disappeared on both surfaces exposed to the air and reaction side,but XRD profile of the polished surface membrane indicated that the membrane bulk preserved the perovskite structure.     

Preparation of high density polyethylene/polyethylene-block-poly(ethylene glycol) copolymer blend porous membranes via thermally induced phase separation process and their properties

<正>High density polyethylene(HDPE)/polyethylene-block-poly(ethylene glycol)(PE-b-PEG) blend porous membranes were prepared via thermally induced phase separation(TIPS) process using diphenyl ether(DPE) as diluent.The phase diagrams of HDPE/PE-b-PEG/DPE systems were determined by optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC).By varying the content of PE-b-PEG,the effects of PE-b-PEG copolymer on morphology and crystalline structure of membranes were studied by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and wide angle X-ray diffraction(WAXD). The chemical compositions of whole membranes and surface layers were characterized by elementary analysis,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflection(FTIR-ATR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).Water contact angle,static protein adsorption and water flux experiments were used to evaluate the hydrophilicity,antifouling and water permeation properties of the membranes.It was found that the addition of PE-b-PEG increased the pore size of the obtained blend membranes.In the investigated range of PE-b-PEG content,the PEG blocks could not aggregate into obviously separated domains in membrane matrix.More importantly,PE-b-PEG could not only be retained stably in the membrane matrix during membrane formation,but also enrich at the membrane surface layer.Such stability and surface enrichment of PE-b-PEG endowed the blend membranes with improved hydrophilicity,protein absorption resistance and water permeation properties,which would be substantially beneficial to HDPE membranes for water treatment application.     

DETERMINATION OF PERMEATION PROPERTIES OF GAS THROUGH POLYMER MEMBRANE BY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY

An apparatus constructed for measuring permeation properties of polymer membranes using a mixture of gases is described. A gas chromatographic system was applied to determine the individual transport characteristics of component gases without a vacuum line. This paper also discusses some experimental factors effecting the precision of measurement. The results show that there is a linear relationship between the permeation time and the volume of the gas permeated through the membrane within certain permeation period, which depends on the permeation rate (from 10~(-4) to 10~(-7) cm~3 (STP)/cm~2. sec. cmHg) of the membrane. The reproducibility has been found to be good with a relative standard deviation of 3.5%. This method is more sensitive, considerably faster and more convenient for determining both the permeability coefficient and the separation factor of a polymer membrane from a chromat ogram using mixed penetrant gases.     

Synthesis and characterization of gallium-based perovskitetype dense membrane with oxygen semipermeability

La0.15Sr0.85Ga0.3Fe0.7O3-δ(LSGFO) and La0.15Sr0.85Co0.3Fe0.7O3-δ(LSCFO) mixed oxygen-ion and electron conducting oxides were synthesized by using a combined EDTA and citrate complexing method, and the corresponding dense membranes were fabricated. The properties of the oxide powders and membranes were characterized with combined SEM, XRD, H2-TPR, O2-TPD techniques, mechanical strength and oxygen permeation measurement. The results showed that LSGFO had much higher thermochemical stability than LSCFO due to the higher valence stability of Ga3+. After the temperature-programmed reduction by 5% H2 in Ar from 20℃to 1020℃, the basic perovskite structure of LSGFO was successfully preserved. LSGFO also favors the oxygen vacancy formation better than LSCFO. Oxygen permeation measurement demonstrated that LSGFO had higher oxygen permeation flux than LSCFO, but they had similar activation energy for oxygen transportation, with a value of 110 and 117 kJ ?mol~(-1), respectively. The difference in oxygen permeation f     

Polymerizable ionic liquid copolymer P(MMA-co-BVIm-Br) and its effect on the surface wettability of PVDF blend membranes

Polymerizable ionic liquid copolymer P(MMA-co-BVIm-Br) was synthesized by radical polymerization technique, and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry(FTIR), 1H Nuclear magnetic resonance(1H-NMR) and gel permeation chromatography(GPC). The resulting copolymer was used to prepare poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) blend membranes via a phase inversion method. The effects of the copolymer on the polymorphism, surface wettability and zeta potential(ζ) of the blend membranes were investigated by ATR-FTIR, contact angle instrument and zeta potential analyzer. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM and SEM-EDS) was also applied to investigate the morphology and the surface element changes of the fabricated membranes. The results indicated that P(MMA-co-BVIm-Br) copolymer existed on the surface of the membrane which made the blend membrane have a positive surface during the experimental p H range. The copolymer was also in favor of the formation of β crystal phase in PVDF membranes. The contact angle experiment indicated that P(MMA-co-BVIm-Br) copolymer could switch the wettability of the blend membranes from hydrophilic to hydrophobic by exchanging Br-anion with PF-6. Compared with pure PVDF membranes, the water flux and water recovery flux of the blend membranes were enhanced obviously. The results from the flux recovery ratio(FR) and total fouling ratio(Rt) all suggested that the blend membranes had good anti-fouling properties.     

Thermo-responsive and antifouling PVDF nanocomposited membranes based on PNIPAAm modified TiO2 nanoparticles

A novel hydrophilic nanocomposite additive(TiO2-g-PNIPAAm) was synthesized by the surface modification of titanium dioxide(TiO2) with N-isopropylacrylamide(NIPAAm) via "graft-from" technique. And the nanocomposite membrane of poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)/TiO2-g-PNIPAAm was fabricated by wet phase inversion. The graft degree was obtained by thermo-gravimetric analysis(TGA). Fourier transform infrared attenuated reflection spectroscopy(FTIR-ATR) and X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy(XPS) characterization results suggested that TiO2-g-PNIPAAm nanoparticles segregated on membrane surface during the phase separation process. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) was conducted to investigate the surface and cross-section of the modified membranes. The water contact angle measurements confirmed that TiO2-g-PNIPAAm nanoparticles endowed PVDF membranes better hydrophlilicity and thermo-responsive properties compared with those of the pristine PVDF membrane. The water contact angle decreased from 92.8° of the PVDF membrane to 61.2° of the nanocompostie membrane. Bovine serum albumin(BSA) static and dynamic adsorption experiments suggested that excellent antifouling properties of membranes was acquired after adding TiO2-gPNIPAAm. The maximum BSA adsorption at 40 °C was about 3 times than that at 23 °C. The permeation experiments indicated the water flux recover ratio and BSA rejection ratio were improved at different temperatures.

Hydrogen Permeation Properties of Perovskite-type BaCe_(0.9)Mn_(0.1)O_(3-δ)Dense Ceramic Membrane

In recent years, mixed-conducting oxides, in which both protonic and electronic charge carriers exist, have received increasing attentions1. Ceramic membranes made of such materials are semipermeable to hydrogen at elevated temperatures. In the early 1980s, Iwahara et al. first reported protonic conduction in SrCeO3-based materials2. Later, BaCeO3 system was extensively studied because of its higher conductivities. However, the electronic conductivity of rare earth doped-BaCeO3 ceramic…

Multitracer study on permeation of rare earth elements through a supported liquid membrane

Separation by means of supported liquid membranes is a useful method for the preparation and preconcentration of radioactive nuclides. The permeation of rare earth elements through a bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate-decalin membrane supported on a microporous polytetrafluoroethylene sheet was studied using a multitracer containing radioactive nuclides of Sc, Zr, Nb, Hf, Ce, Pm, Gd, Yb, and Lu. Permeation rates of these elements from feed solutions of various acidity to receiving solutions of 0.5 mol·dm⁻³ HCl were determined simultaneously. The feed solution at pH 1.4 gave the highest permeation rate for Ce, Pm, and Gd, amounting to about 95% of permeation for Ce and Pm, 80% for Gd, and 10% for Yb in 21 h. Scandium, Zr, Nb, Hf, and Lu were not transported at all from the feed solution. Permeation rates of Yb and Lu from the feed solution at pH 1.4 to receiving solutions of 0.75, 1.0, 2.3, and 4.0 mol·dm⁻³ HCl increased with the concentration. The results obtained indicate that the light rare earth elements can be separated from the heavy ones by this method.     

Preparation and hydrogen permeation of BaCe0.95Nd0.05O3−δ membranes

A mixed proton–electron conducting perovskite made of BaCe_0.95Nd_0.05O_3−δ (BCN) was prepared by EDTA/citric acid complexing method. The precursor was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In order to learn the perovskite formation process during the calcination, the intermediate, i.e. the sample calcined at 750 °C for 5 h, was investigated by scanning (STEM), energy-filtered (EFTEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) as well as electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). The results revealed that the perovskite structure was formed via a solid-state reaction between barium–cerium mixed carbonate and cerium–neodymium mixed oxide particles. Dense mixed proton–electron conducting BCN membranes were made by pressing BCN powder followed by sintering. The microstructure of the sintered membranes was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Hydrogen permeation through the BCN membrane was studied using a high-temperature permeator. The hydrogen permeation fluxes under wet conditions are higher than those under dry conditions, which is due to increased proton concentrations in the H⁺ hopping via OH groups. The hydrogen permeation increased with increasing hydrogen and steam concentrations in the feed. For a steam concentration of 15 vol.%, the hydrogen permeation flux reaches 0.026 ml/min cm².
