Characterization results of XRD (X-ray diffractometer) and FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscope) revealed that evolutionary selection might predominantly contribute to the formation of the sharply oriented mordenite membrane. The nec- essary conditions under which evolutionary selection occurs are: (a) the number density of nuclei on the support surface should be high enough at the early stage; (b) the crystals should grow fastest along one direction; and (c) the zeolite layer should proceed via the successive growth of the crystals nucleated on the support surface instead of the accumulation of the crystals formed in the bulk solution.展开更多

The thickness of the membranes is ca. 60 μm. Under the conditions of 20 ℃ and 0.1 MPa pressure difference, the permeabilities of H 2, O 2 and N 2 thro ugh the calcined B-Al-ZSM-5 zeolite membranes are 2 298×10 -8 , 1 176 ×10 -8 and 1 368×10 -9 mol/(m 2·s·Pa), respectively. The calculated values of ideal se lectivities of H 2 an d O 2 over N 2 are 16 8 and 8 60, respectively. The data indicate that the c alcin ed zeolite membranes are non-pinhole, non-crack, continuous and perfect.展开更多
