Publication number: 20130059150Abstract: A process for producing a ceramic membrane in the form of a hollow fibre, which process comprises: forming a suspension by mixing inorganic oxide precursor particles with a solution of a polymer binder dissolved in a solvent for the binder; feeding the suspension through a spinneret to form hollow fibres; passing the fibres through an air gap and into a coagulant to solidify the fibres; heating the fibres to remove the polymer binder; and sintering the fibres to render them gas tight, wherein the polymer binder is selected so that it may be removed from the fibres by heating without leaving any residual species within the ceramic that will impair the oxygen permeability of the fibres.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2011Publication date: March 7, 2013Applicant: THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLANDInventors: Joao Carlos Diniz Da Costa, Adrian Chin-Han Leo, Shaomin Liu

Patent number: 6943123Abstract: A method of producing a weakly branched silica membranes coated onto a substrate using a two-step catalysed hydrolysis sol-gel process. A tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS)/ethanol solution is formed and placed in an ice bath. An acid/water solution is formed and added to the TEOS/ethanol solution, to form a TEOS/ethanol/acid/water solution, which inturn is refluxed. A two-step sol is prepared by adding water and nitric acid to the refluxed TEOS/ethanol/acid/water solution and initiating a two-step sol-gel process. From the two-step sol a membrane film layer is deposited on a substrate, for use in a number of applications, including selective separation of gases.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2001Date of Patent: September 13, 2005Assignee: The University of QueenslandInventors: Victor Ruldolph, Joao Carlos Diniz Da Costa, GaoQing Lu
