Gases Separation by ZSM-5 based Membranes

Zeolite ZSM-5 Membranes Grown on Porous a-A1203

Zeolites have found widespread applications as catalysts and separation media. A L present, all technologies exploiting these materials use the zeolite in powder composite form. The desire to translate the molecular sieving properties of zeolite powder composites into a membrane configuration has long been recognized. To prepare such a membrane, the crystals must grow in an interlockng fashion ...

Preparation of Zsm-5 Zeolite Membranes by Combined Hydrothermal Synthesis and Electrophoretic Deposition

Separation of Carbon Dioxide from Natural Gas by Matrimid-Based Mixed Matrix Membranes

Spherical MgO nanoparticles and Flake-like clay minerals modified with polyaniline (PAni) are applied in Matrimid in order to fabricate mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) having improved gas separation performance. The CO2 permeability, CO2/CH4 selectivity and CO2-induced plasticization pressure of MMMs are assessed at 4-30 bar feed pressure. The chemical structure, morphology and thermal properties...

Synthesis, Characterization and Vapor Permeation Performance of B-ZSM-5 Membranes

In the present work, B-ZSM-5 zeolite membranes were synthesized on porous tubular α-alumina supports by several subsequence in situ crystallization hydrothermal treatments. The TiO2- Bohmite and ɣ- alumina intermediate layers were applied to improve the lattice matching between zeolite layer and the support. The uniform membrane intermediate layers with low permeation resistance were...

Xylenes Reactions and Diffusions in ZSM-5 Zeolite based Catalyst

Xylenes transformations have been investigated over ZSM-5 zeolite in a riser simulator that mimics closely the operation of commercial fluidized-bed reactors. P-xylene was found to be more reactive than the other isomers followed by o-xylene and m-xylene was found to be least reactive. The order of reactivity is consistent with the order of diffusivity. At low temperature (400°C), isomerization...
