Dehydration of Natural Gas Using Synthesized Chabazite Zeolite Membranes
Authors
Abstract:
ine"> Chabazite zeolite membranes were synthesized for their potential application in dehydration of natural gas. The membranes were prepared using secondary growth method on porous ·-alumina substrates. Hydrothermal treatment was applied for the synthesis of chabazite seeds. The membranes were synthesized at four temperatures of 100, 120, 140, and 160°C; and duration of 20 h. Separation performance of assynthesized membranes was evaluated through permeation ofwater vapor and methane as single gas. Moreover, the structure and morphology ofas-synthesized chabazite zeolite membranes as well as seeds were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results revealed that the optimum temperature for the synthesis ofchabazite membranes is 140°C while at lower and higher temperatures, lower separation performances were observed. At the optimum synthesis temperature, an ideal selectivity of 23 was obtained for water vapor/methane, while a thin and integrated chabazite zeolite layer of about 5 m in thickness was synthesized over the surface ofalumina substrate.

Pervaporation (PV) dehydration of isopropanol (IPA) using modified chitosan membranes was studied. The membranes were prepared from chitosan and were modified by using zeolite-A. Pre-weighed amount of zeolite-A was added into acidic solvent and stirred to produce homogeneous solution. Chitosan flakes were then added into the solution and stirred overnight. Various ratios of zeolite-A and chitos...

Single and multicomponent gas permeation tests were used to evaluate the performance of metal-supported clinoptilolite membranes. The efficiency of hydrogen separation from lower hydrocarbons (methane, ethane, and ethylene) was studied within the temperature and pressure ranges of 25-600 °C and 110-160 kPa, respectively. The hydrogen separation factor was found to reduce noticeably in the gas m...
