Abstract

A novel synthesis strategy was developed for the seeding-free preparation of dense LTA zeolite membranes by using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as covalent linker between zeolite membrane and porous Al2O3 support. In a first step, the ethoxy groups of the 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane react with surface hydroxy groups of the support. In a second step, the 3-aminopropylsilyl groups react with silanols of the zeolite crystals, leading to a "bridge" between the growing LTA zeolite membrane and the support being built to anchor the LTA zeolite layer onto the support. The SEM image and XRD indicate that a dense and pure LTA zeolite membrane with a thickness of about 3.5 μm can be formed on the α-Al2O3 support, and no cracks, pinholes or other defects are visible. The LTA zeolite membrane displays good molecular sieving performance. For binary mixtures at 20 °C, the separation factors of H2/CH4, H2/N2, H2/O2 and H2/CO2 are 3.6, 4.2, 4.4 and 5.5, respectively, which are higher than the corresponding value of Knudsen diffusion. Moreover, relative high H2 permeances of about 3.0 × 10-7 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 can be obtained.
