Synthesis Optimization of SSZ-13 Zeolite Membranes by Dual Templates for N2/NO2 Separation

High-silica SSZ-13 zeolite membranes are promising in industrial separations of light gases and continuous membranes are highly demanded for better separation performances. Herein, pure-phase, continuous and thin SSZ-13 zeolite membranes were synthesized using dual templates of N,N,N-trimethtyl-1-adamantammonium hydroxide(TMAdaOH) and tetraethylammonium hydroxide(TEAOH). Systematical investigations of TMAdaOH/TEAOH ratios and their concentrations show that TMAdaOH acts as the main structure-directing agent in the formation of the SSZ-13 zeolite. TMAdaOH cooperatively plays with TEAOH in promoting the SSZ-13 crystal intergrowth to form a continuous polycrystalline membrane. Additionally, appropriate introduction of TEAOH is able to adjust the membrane thickness to the crystal-comparable size of ca. 2.0 μm. The SSZ-13 membranes are further applied for N₂/NO₂separation, which is firstly reported on zeolite membranes. The gas permeation results show that the SSZ-13 membrane synthesized by the dual-template approach exhibits selective separation of N₂ over NO₂ with N₂/NO₂ separation factor of 7.6 and N₂ permeance of 1.66×10^-8 mol·m^-2·s^-1·Pa^-1.     

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).     

聚合物支撑的金属有机骨架膜的制备及其气体分离性能

由于MOF(金属有机骨架)膜与基底之间的作用力较薄弱,所以制备具有高的H_2渗透性和H_2/CO_2选择性的致密连续的大面积金属有机骨架膜仍具有巨大挑战。本文选取多孔Al_2O_3作为基底,在表面涂覆一层PIM-1(一种固有微孔聚合物),并对其进行羧基化处理,使得表面具有大量的羧基基团,随后利用羧基与金属之间的相互作用,原位生长得到了两种致密连续的聚合物支撑的MOF膜(PIM-1-COOH/ZIF-8和PIM-1-COOH/HKUST-1)。通过XRD的表征可以看出MOF膜是纯相的并且具有较高的结晶性;SEM的测试结果表明MOF膜是致密连续的并且MOF膜与基底之间紧密结合。气体分离测试结果表明,这两种MOF膜对H_2具有较高的渗透性以及H_2/CO_2选择性。在常温常压下,对于PIM-1-COOH/ZIF-8和PIM-1-COOH/HKUST-1膜,H_2/CO_2双组分气体的分离系数分别为7.32、9.69,并且它们H_2的渗透通量分别高于3.16×10~(-6)、1.14×10~(-6) mol·m~(-2)·s~(-1)·Pa~(-1)。在单组份测试中,这两种MOF膜的H_2/CO_2的理想分离系数分别为7.70、12.04;H_2的渗透通量分别高达3.73×10~(-6)、3.86×10~(-6) mol·m~(-2)·s~(-1)·Pa~(-1),这就表明这两种MOF膜有望在H_2的纯化和分离方面广泛应用。     

具有抗生物污染活性的分子筛膜用于高效油水分离

The development of the global economy has been accompanied by frequent oil spills caused by accidental leaks and industrial manufacturing, which have seriously threatened the aquatic environment and human health. Traditional methods for the treatment of oily wastewater include centrifugation, skimming, flotation, oil-absorbing technology, etc., which are limited by low separation efficiency as well as secondary pollution during the post-processing of oil absorption materials. Recently, separation technologies utilizing the special wettabilities of filtration membranes have been developed to enrich and recycle oils from wastewater. Among these, the fabrication of superhydrophilic/underwater superhydrophobic membranes have attracted intensive research interest, which can selectively allow the passage of water through the membrane while blocking the oils. However, microorganisms are more likely to breed on these hydrophilic surfaces, eventually leading to the blockage of the membranes. In this study, ZSM-5 zeolite crystals (MFI topological structure) were coated onto the stainless-steel meshes by means of seeding and secondary hydrothermal growth. Then, 70% of the total Na⁺ ions in the zeolite channels were substituted by Ag⁺ ions via an ion exchange process. The resultant membranes (Ag@ZCMFs) were superamphiphilic in air, with both water contact angle and oil contact angle of approximately 0°. However, they became superoleophobic when immersed in water, and the underwater oil contact angle reached 151.27° ± 4.34°. In terms of special wettability, Ag@ZCMF achieved efficient separation for various oil-water mixtures with separation efficiencies above 99%. The water flux and intrusion pressure of Ag@ZCMF depended on the diameter of pinholes in the membrane, which could be modulated by altering the time of secondary hydrothermal growth. For instance, the average diameter of pinholes in Ag@ZCMF with optimum secondary growth time of 14 h (Ag@ZCMF-14) reached approximately 21 μm, giving rise to the water flux and intrusion pressure of 54720 L·m^-2·h^-1 and 4357 Pa, respectively. The anti-corrosion test and rubbing test confirmed the high chemical and mechanical stability of Ag@ZCMF-14, respectively. The separation efficiency of Ag@ZCMF-14 remained stable during ten purification-regeneration cycles, and no obvious attenuation was observed, proving the high separation stability of Ag@ZCMF-14. Furthermore, the loaded Ag⁺ ions afforded the membrane excellent anti-biofouling activity, which could effectively inhibit the growth of both alga and bacteria in the operating environment, thus preventing membrane blockage during the oil-water separation process. In particular, the bacteriostatic rate of Ag@ZCMF-14 to Escherichia coli reached to 99.6%. These results demonstrate that Ag@ZCMFs with anti-biofouling activity has promising potential future applications in the removal of oil slicks from oily wastewater.
