  • Publication number: 20210362099
    Abstract: Disclosed are a MWW/DDR type gas separation membrane comprising at least one MWW type zeolite and at least one DDR type zeolite and a method for preparing the same. One of the MWW type zeolite and the DDR type zeolite is disposed on the other thereof, wherein at least one of the MWW type zeolite and the DDR type zeolite is epitaxially grown. In the gas separation membrane, the DDR type zeolite is epitaxially grown from the MWW type zeolite, or the MWW type zeolite is epitaxially grown from the DDR type zeolite. Thus, the MWW/DDR type gas separation membrane is synthesized using a structural continuity of the MWW type zeolite and the DDR type zeolite. Thus, the gas separation membrane has excellent separation efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11027241
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of post-treating a zeolite membrane, comprising treating a defective zeolite membrane with a chemical material such as a dye molecule, which has a size larger than that of the pores of the zeolite membranes and smaller than defects in the membrane, thereby healing the defects in the membrane. The post-treatment method performs post-treatment of the zeolite membrane under mild conditions (room temperature and normal pressure), thereby selectively healing the defects in the zeolite membrane and improving the performance of the zeolite membrane. In addition, the method may provide a high-performance membrane having a high separation factor, particularly under dry conditions.

  • Publication number: 20200391178
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrocarbon adsorbent with metal-impregnated zeolite particles having regular mesopores and a manufacturing method therefor. The hydrocarbon adsorbent includes a metal cation and a metal oxide that are impregnated in zeolite particles, in particular, the zeolite particles include regularly formed mesopores having a size of 2 to 10. By adjusting a Si/Al ratio and mesoporosity of the mesopores, a hydrocarbon adsorbent may have increased adsorption capacity for hydrocarbons in a cold-start section and can rapidly oxidize the hydrocarbon upon desorption thereof, thereby reducing the discharge of exhaust gas produced in automobiles and industries.

  • Patent number: 10717054
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a chabazite zeolite membrane with a controlled pore size and a production method thereof, wherein the sizes of pore space and pore mouth of the chabazite zeolite membrane are finely controlled through chemical vapor deposition. Through the chemical vapor deposition, defects present in the chabazite zeolite membrane are eliminated, and the pore size is effectively controlled. Thus, unlike hydrophilic membranes showing excellent CO2/N2 separation performance under a dry condition, the chabazite zeolite membrane with a controlled pore size according to the present invention has a hydrophobic surface, and thus can maintain excellent CO2/N2 separation performance even under a wet condition. Accordingly, the chabazite zeolite membrane of the present invention can effectively capture carbon dioxide from nitrogen under various environmental conditions.

  • Patent number: 10695722
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing a perm-selective porous membrane and a method of separating gases using the prepared porous membrane. According to the present invention, a membrane is synthesized using a hierarchically structured alumina porous support by a counter diffusion method. During this synthesis, the diffusion rate of metal ions loaded on the porous support is controlled by controlling the pore size of the porous support, and the position at which the membrane is synthesized is controlled by synthesizing the membrane inside the support. This can increase the physical stability of the membrane and make the membrane thicker so as to ensure higher H2/CO2 separation factors.
