  • Patent number: 12654138
    Abstract: Provided are a use of a Janus ceramic membrane in a dispersion-intensified bubble aeration process, and a preparation method of the Janus ceramic membrane. The Janus ceramic membrane is prepared as follows: a hydrophobic group is in situ grafted on a Al2O3 ceramic membrane as a substrate membrane through impregnation of a perfluoroalkylsilane (FAS) to prepare a hydrophobic ceramic membrane, and then a hydrophilic coating polydopamine (PDA) is formed through unilateral asymmetric surface deposition of dopamine (DA) to produce the Janus ceramic membrane for bubble aeration. The Janus ceramic membrane has asymmetric wettability. The Janus ceramic membrane not only has the unique properties of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic ceramic membranes, but also can improve the defects of hydrophilic and hydrophobic ceramic membranes to allow a synergistic effect, which improves the bubble aeration performance of the membrane in a gas-liquid dispersion process.

  • Patent number: 12447466
    Abstract: A preparation method of a Co@CM multi-channel ceramic catalytic membrane for hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol is provided. In the catalytic membrane, a multi-channel ceramic membrane is adopted as a substrate. A cobalt salt as an active component is loaded in situ on a surface and in pores of the multi-channel ceramic membrane through a forced circulation with the help of the excellent reduction and anchoring effects of dopamine (DA), and then subjected to in situ self-reduction through calcination to produce the Co@CM multi-channel ceramic catalytic membrane. The preparation method has the following advantages: Nano-scale Co particles are loaded instead of a precious metal on a multi-channel ceramic membrane, and the surface of the Co particles is wrapped by carbon and nitrogen, which can effectively inhibit the loss of Co particles during a reaction. In addition, there is no need to add an additional reducing agent during the reduction of Co.
