NaA分子筛膜催化剂上CO和C2H4混合气的选择性氧化反应

Defect-free zeolite NaA membranes were coated onto the surface of spherical Pt/Al2O3 particles using a two-step hydrothermal method. The structure and morphology of the synthesized composite catalysts were characterized using XRD and SEM techniques, respectively. The results indicated a layer of compact and uniform NaA molecular sieve membrane with a thickness of about 20 滋m was coated on the spherical Pt/Al2O3 particles after the two-step hydrothermal synthesis. The prepared NaA membrane coated catalysts were used in the oxidation of a mixture of CO and C2H4 to study the reactant selectivity over the coated zeolite NaA membranes. Under the optimized conditions, the oxidation selectivity for CO over C2H4 on the composite catalyst was as high as 96%. The feasible application of this composite membrane coated catalyst to the selective removal of CO in the presence of C2H4 was anticipated.     

微波场中A型分子筛及分子筛膜合成的研究

Effects of aging time and alkalinity as well as cation concentration(Na⁺) on the synthesis of A type zeolite and zeolite membrane were investigated in this paper. The results showed that aging time for synthesis of A type zeolite and zeolite membrane had remarkable influence and alkalinity could accelerate the formation of zeolite but was disadvantage to zeolite membrane synthesis. Cation concentration(Na⁺) also couldn′t accelerate the synthesis of zeolite and zeolite membrane but it was probable an important factor to accelerate crystal growth .Moreover, more compact zeolite membranes could be synthesized by this method while the thickness of membrane was thinner than that of convention. Zeolites and zeolite membranes were characterized by XRD, TEM as well as IR characterization techniques.     

Evaluation of a mathematical model using experimental data and artificial neural network for prediction of gas separation

In recent times, membranes have found wide applications in gas separation processes. As most of the industrial membrane separation units use hollow fiber modules, having a proper model for simulating this type of membrane module is very useful in achieving guidelines for design and characterization of membrane separation units. In this study, a model based on Coker, Freeman, and Fleming＇s study was used for estimating the required membrane area. This model could simulate a multicomponent gas mixture separation by solving the governing differential mass balance equations with numerical methods. Results of the model were validated using some binary and multicomponent experimental data from the literature. Also, the artificial neural network （ANN） technique was applied to predict membrane gas separation behavior and the results of the ANN simulation were compared with the simulation results of the model and the experimental data. Good consistency between these results shows that ANN method can be successfully used for prediction of the separation behavior after suitable training of the network     

Synthesis of Compact NaA Zeolite Membrane by Microwave Heating Method

A continuous and dense NaA zeolite membrane was synthesized by microwave heating method while employing a multi-step seeding LTA zeolite with the average size of 120 rim. The gas H2/N2 mixture separating results indicated that the mixture selectivity increased with increasing of synthesis times. In addition, selectivity of the three-step synthesis was higher than the value(3.74) expected from Kundsen diffusion.     

在多孔γ-Al2O3氧化铝载体上微波合成NaA分子筛膜及气体渗透分离性能

The paper presented novel synthesis of NaA zeolite membrane with good performance using microwave heating. The method involved two steps, prior seeding 120 nm of LTA crystals on substrate and then employing a secondary hydrothermal synthesis. Effects of seeding times, synthesis time and synthesis times were investigated in this work. The quality evaluation of membranes respectively used single component gases (HE and N2) and H2/N2 (equivalent volume) mixture. The ideal H2,/N2 selectivity increased from 1.90 of the substrate to 6.37 of the three-stage synthesized membrane, which was distinctly higher than the corresponding Knudsen diffusion selectivity of 3.74. However, the real H2/N2 selectivity of the three-stage synthesis was much lower than the corresponding ideal selectivity and close to the corresponding Knudsen diffusion selectivity of 3.74.     

Conventional processes and membrane technology for carbon dioxide removal from natural gas:A review

Membrane technology is becoming more important for CO 2 separation from natural gas in the new era due to its process simplicity,relative ease of operation and control,compact,and easy to scale up as compared with conventional processes.Conventional processes such as absorption and adsorption for CO 2 separation from natural gas are generally more energy demanding and costly for both operation and maintenance.Polymeric membranes are the current commercial membranes used for CO 2 separation from natural gas.However,polymeric membranes possess drawbacks such as low permeability and selectivity,plasticization at high temperatures,as well as insufficient thermal and chemical stability.The shortcomings of commercial polymeric membranes have motivated researchers to opt for other alternatives,especially inorganic membranes due to their higher thermal stability,good chemical resistance to solvents,high mechanical strength and long lifetime.Surface modifications can be utilized in inorganic membranes to further enhance the selectivity,permeability or catalytic activities of the membrane.This paper is to provide a comprehensive review on gas separation,comparing membrane technology with other conventional methods of recovering CO 2 from natural gas,challenges of current commercial polymeric membranes and inorganic membranes for CO 2 removal and membrane surface modification for improved selectivity.     

Polyvinyl acetate/poly(amide-12-b-ethylene oxide) blend membranes for carbon dioxide separation

In this paper,blend membranes from polyvinyl acetate(PVAc)and block copolymer poly(amide-12-b-ethylene oxide)(Pebax1074)are prepared by solution casting and solvent evaporation method.Although they are homogeneous on a macro-scale,the observations from DSC and SEM indicate micro-phase separation for PVAc/Pebax1074 blend membranes.With the increase of Pebax1074 content,gas permeabilities of CO2,H2,N2and CH4all increase greatly.PVAc/Pebax1074 blend membranes with high PVAc content are appropriate for CO2/CH4separation.The temperature dependence of gas permeability is divided into rubbery region and glassy region.The activation energies of permeation in rubbery region are smaller than those in glassy region,and they all decrease with increasing Pebax1074 content.For N2,H2and CH4,their gas permeation properties are mainly influenced by the dual-mode sorption and hydrostatic pressure effect.But for CO2,its permeability increases with the increase of pressure due to CO2-induced plasticization effect,which is more obvious for PVAc/Pebax1074 blend membranes with high PVAc content.     

Novel preparation of NaA/carbon nanocomposite thin films with high permeance for CO2/CH4 separation

Novel NaA/carbon nanocomposite thin films were successfully prepared on a porous a-Al2O3 substrate by incorporatingnanosized NaA zeolite into novolak-type phenolic resin.The prepared films were characterized by XRD,SEM and single gaspermeation tests.The NaA zeolite/carbon nanocomposite thin films exhibited that the ideal separation factor of CO2/CH4 was 28.4and the carbon dioxide flux was 3.39*10-7mol/(Pa m2s)at room temperature and under a pressure difference of 100 kPa,whichwas two orders of magnitude higher than that of pure carbon membrane prepared at the same procedures and conditions as those ofcomposite films.From the SEM images,the films were continuous and highly intergrown.Compared with carbon membranes,thethickness of nanocomposite films was drastically decreased,which was helpful to reduce the diffusion resistance and increase theflux of gas permeance.     

碘甲烷在碳酸二甲酯直接合成中的作用

Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is an environmentally friendly compound and a substitutive intermediate for highly toxic phosgene or dimethyl sulfate in carbonylation and methylation reactions as well as a promising octane booster. The common methods for its preparation are the oxidative carbonylation of methanol catalyzed by a variety of transition metal ions and the transesterification of ethylene carbonate or propene carbonate with methanol[1]. The direct synthesis of DMC from carbon dioxide and methanol is a challenging route in which the most abundant carbon resources and a main greenhouse gas is used as feedstock. A new method for the direct synthesis of DMC catalyzed by the methoxide of main group metal has attracted more and more attention since it was reported[2～6] . However the lower conversion of the reaction has become the main obstacle for its application. In this letter, an efficient promoter for the direct synthesis of DMC is reported.     

Framework Structure of a Synthetic High Silica Zeolite --ZSM-39 from a C_2H_4(OH)_2-H_2O Mixed Solvent System

The structural analogy of clathrate synthesized with natural zeolite framework is well known. HPF_6·6H_2O and (CH_3)_4 (OH)·5H_2O are isostructural with sodalite,melanophlogite is isostructural with the 12 cubic gas hydrate and zeolite ZSM-39 with the 17 gas hydrate. The synthesis of ZSM-39 was first reported by Brace in 1981.Schleker and Meier also obtained the crystals of ZSM-39 with size<10μm and analyzed its crystal stucture by the powder X-ray diffraction.In 1984,Gies solved the crystal structure of dodecasil 3C(ZSM-39) synthesized from an aqueous system in space group F_(ds).In the present paper,we report the framework structure of the high silica zeolite—ZSM-39 obtained from the ethylene glycol-water mixed solvent system.

Water-alcohol Separation by Pervaporation through Zeolite Modified Poly(amidesulfonamide)s (PASAs)

A series of poly(amidesulfonamide)s (PASAs) which have been synthesized in our laboratory possess good membrane fabrication properties^[1]. The potential use of these membrane materials in RO, UF and PV were demonstrated^[2,3]. Reminiscent to the PV performance of other glassy polymers, most of these materials exhibit a fairly high separation factor albeit a permeation flux below 35 g m^-2 h^-1 in the PV separation of aqueous alcohol mixtures. To have a real application prospect in PV, the permeation flux through the membranes has to e further improved. The present work represents our effort to upgrade the separation characteristics of PASAs by blending with inert hydrophilic zeolites. Three types of PASAs (structure shown in Figure 1) were selected to be fabricated by blending different amount of zeolite NaA or NaX. The zeolite filled membranes were characterized by SEM, IR spectroscopy, sorption measurements and wide-angle X-ray diffraction. By adding proper amount of NaA into the polymer casting solutions, the resultant zeolite filled membranes exhibited improvement in both selectivity and permeability in the separation of 10% aqueous solutions of ethanol, propan-l-ol and propan-2-ol, as compared to the zeolite free membrane (Table 1).

澄清溶液体系二次生长法NaA型沸石膜的生长机制及膜厚的控制合成

用晶种涂层二次生长成膜法研究了在含水量不同的澄清溶液合成体系中NaA型沸石膜的生长及沸石膜厚度的控制合成.用SEM,TEM和XRD表征手段分析了沸石膜的形成过程和微结构.在载体表面不涂晶种而直接合成则不易形成连续沸石膜;用晶种涂层二次法可以很容易形成均匀的连续膜.合成液中水量的高低强烈影响沸石膜的生长速率、形成结构和膜的厚度.在高水量(水硅摩尔比为2000)的合成体系中沸石生长速率慢,膜主要通过晶种层中的晶粒长大,交织成膜,且膜只有一层结构;而在低水量(水硅摩尔比为750)的合成体系中沸石生长速率快,膜则通过晶种层表面晶粒向外生长、交织成膜,而膜具有两层结构.通过调变合成液的水量可有效地控制沸石膜层的厚度,并能制得非常均匀、连续的膜.     

Dehydration of acetonitrile using cross-linked sodium alginate membrane containing nano-sized NaA zeolite

Pervaporation (PV) separation of water–acetonitrile mixture using sodium alginate (NaAlg) based mixed matrix membranes (MMM) comprising different amounts of nano NaA zeolite (10, 20 and 30 wt%) is investigated in various concentrations of water and temperatures. The prepared membranes are modified by sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) as a crosslinking agent. NaAlg-NaA/SSA membranes are synthesized by a solution casting technique. The process and membrane performance including separation factor, flux and activation energy of permeation are determined. Results reveal that adding of nano zeolite may lead to an increase in the flux and the separation factor of sodium alginate membrane up to 123 and 169%. In addition, using MMM in dehydration of a feed containing 30 wt% of water shows much better performance than alginate membrane. Furthermore, the activation energy of water permeation through MMM is predicted lower than sodium alginate membrane which reflects the facilitated permeation of water through MMM.

Synthesis and characterization of silicalite-1/carbon-graphite membranes

Silicalite-1/carbon-graphite composite membranes have been prepared using a standard hydrothermal synthesis method and characterized by XRD, SEM, TGA, BET and permeation experiments. Single gas permeation fluxes and binary mixtures separation and selectivity data are reported for methane, ethane and propane using the composite membranes. Carbon-graphite oxidized for 4 h prior to membrane preparation had the most promising separation properties. The permeation fluxes for the binary mixtures reflect that of the single component flux ratios. At 20 degrees C the membranes show high separation selectivity toward lighter component in binary mixtures. Single gas permeances for methane and ethane were found to decrease with increasing temperatures while that of propane fluctuates.     

Effects of synthesis parameters on zeolite membrane formation and performance by microwave technique

Recently, zeolite membranes on porous supports have been extensively studied in the ethanol–water separation process for further use for gasohol production. This work focuses on a NaA membrane synthesized on an α‐Al₂O₃ support via microwave hydrothermal treatment. Synthesis temperature and time, type of substrate, seed amount and seeding time for the layer growth of the membrane are considered. The formation of as‐synthesized membranes is discussed according to observations by SEM and XRD. In addition, a preliminary study of the performance of the synthesized NaA zeolite membrane was conducted using the pervaporation technique. It was found that, for the synthesized continuous NaA membranes prepared using a 0.5 µm NaA crystal seed concentration of 3 g/l via vacuum seeding, the optimum conditions were 363 K synthesis temperature for 15–20 min via microwave heating. The flux and the separation factor obtained were 1.6 kg/m² h and 1760.5, respectively, for the substrate without an intermediate layer. Interestingly, the substrate with an intermediate layer showed better flux and separation factor at 1.7 kg/m² h and 6532.7, respectively. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
