Synthesis of SAPO-34 membranes and critical influence factors in microwave-assisted secondary growth
SAPO-34 membranes for separation of CO2/CH4 gas mixture were fabricated on porous α-Al2O3 substrates by seeded growth under microwave irradiation. Effects of synthesis conditions
including heating mode
seed size
aging and synthesis time
on membrane morphology and structure were investigated in order to manufacture dense and thin SAPO-34 membranes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
X-ray diffraction (XRD)
and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to characterize SAPO-34 membranes. 1.5 μm-thick defect-free SAPO-34 membrane could be obtained with high reproducibility at condition of 0.4 μm-sized seed
24 h aging
and 4 h microwave heating. The new membrane demonstrated an average CO2/CH4 separation selectivity at 81 and high CO2 permeability at 6.6×10-7 mol·m-2·s-1·Pa-1.
