  • Patent number: 11554348
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing a hierarchical porous zeolite membrane and an application thereof, comprising the following steps: a mesoporous structure-directing agent is added to limit the growth of zeolite crystals, and self-assembled in the crystallization process to generate a mesoporous structure. Based on a seed crystal induced secondary nucleation mechanism, this method can realize one-step hydrothermal synthesis of hierarchical porous zeolite membrane with the advantages of mild and controllable synthesis conditions, simple process, good repeatability, reduced energy consumption and cost savings. The hierarchical porous zeolite membrane prepared by the method has good cut-off performance, and the cut-off molecular weight is adjustable between 200 to 500,000 Da.

  • Patent number: 11390565
    Abstract: The Invention relates to a method for preparing a multichannel hollow fiber membrane. According to a certain ratio, ceramic powder, a macromolecular polymer, an organic solvent, and a dispersant are mixed evenly to prepare a membrane casting solution; and after bubble removing processing is performed on the membrane casting solution, a membrane green body is formed with the cooperation of a multichannel hollow fiber die and phase inversion. After the membrane green body is roasted at a high temperature, a multichannel ceramic hollow fiber membrane is formed. The multichannel ceramic hollow fiber membrane has an asymmetric structure and a skeleton structure in an inner cavity and can meet the strength and flux requirements of a ceramic hollow fiber membrane.

  • Patent number: 11278846
    Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing a defect-free DDR molecular sieve membrane. Sigma-1 molecular sieve is used as an inducing seed crystal to prepare and obtain a continuous and compact DDR molecular sieve membrane on the surface of a porous ceramic support. An ozone atmosphere or an external field assisted technology is used to remove a template in the pores of the molecular sieve membrane at a low temperature. The invention avoids the formation of intercrystal defects and cracks, an activated DDR molecular sieve membrane has a good selectivity for separating CO2, and the membrane preparation time is significantly reduced.

  • Patent number: 10427107
    Abstract: The invention relates to a high-strength hollow fiber zeolite membrane and its preparation method, characterized in that the support of the high-strength zeolite membrane has a multi-channel hollow fiber configuration. The preparation method comprises first preparing a crystal seed solution, then immersing the dry support with the multi-channel hollow fiber configuration in the crystal seed solution, and extracting and drying the support to obtain a crystal-seeded support; and finally placing the crystal-seeded support in a zeolite membrane synthetic fluid, performing hydrothermal synthesis, and taking out, washing and drying the product to obtain the high-strength hollow fiber zeolite membrane. The multi-channel hollow fiber support can provide high mechanical property, which greatly reduces the depreciation rate of the hollow fiber zeolite membrane equipment during use.
