Embodiment 1

[0038] 1) Bonding of ceramic porous tubes and joining members

[0039] (a) at image 3 In order to seal the porous ceramic tube (1) (alumina 99%, outer diameter 16mmφ, inner diameter 12mmφ), the glass ring (2) obtained by compressing and molding glass powder is interposed between one end of the tube (1) and the sealing plug (3) between (dense alumina) (see image 3 a). The composition of the glass powder used here is shown in B in Table 2. Next, this was baked at 900° C. for 1 hour to obtain a structure in which one end of the tube ( 1 ) was sealed.

[0040] (b) After that, in order to improve the strength and airtightness of the junction of one end of the ceramic porous tube (1) and the sealing plug (3), the junction is immersed in a slurry of glass powder (composition: B in Table 2) ( Glass powder: 50wt%, solvent: ethanol) and drying (see image 3 b). Next, this was fired at 900° C. for 1 hour, thereby producing a structure in which the outer surface of the junction wa...

Embodiment 2

[0058] The effect of adding stabilized zirconia to glass powder was examined by the following method.

[0059] In "1) Bonding of the ceramic porous tube and the bonding material" in Example 1, as the glass powder for the binder and the glass powder for the coating, the glass (composition: B in Table 2) added A zeolite separation membrane was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that a predetermined amount of yttrium-stabilized zirconia (HYS-8 manufactured by Daiichi Zenen Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) was present. The same method as in Example 1 was carried out on the membrane in an ethanol / water immersion vaporization test (separation coefficient).

[0060] Table 1 shows the above test results.

[0061] [Table 1]

[0062] Zirconia addition

[0063] From the above results, it can be seen that the performance (separation coefficient) of the zeolite separation membrane is improved when the amount of stabilized zirconia added to the glass is 20% by weight...

Embodiment 3

[0065] The effect of glass powder composition on film properties was investigated in the following manner.

[0066] In "1) Bonding of the ceramic porous tube and the bonding material" in Example 1, the composition of the glass powder for the binder and the glass powder for the coating were changed as shown in Table 2, and the same procedure as in Example 1 was performed except that The same operation was performed to produce a zeolite separation membrane. With respect to the film, the same method as in Example 1 was used to conduct an ethanol / water permeation vaporization test (separation coefficient). Table 3 shows the above test results.

[0067] From the above results, it can be seen that in the compositions A to D, the glass seal of the junction has extremely high airtightness and has a structure that hardly affects the zeolite separation membrane.

Abstract

The present invention provides a separation membrane characterized by comprising: a porous tube comprising alumina as the main component; a connection member disposed in a position for connection to the tube; a binder with which the connection member has been bonded to the tube and which is made of ceramic oxides comprising 17 to 48 wt.% SiO2, 2 to 8 wt.% Al2O3, 24 to 60 wt.% BaO, and 0.5 to 5 wt.% ZnO as essential ingredients and containing at least one of La2O3, CaO, and SrO; and a thin zeolite layer formed on the surface of the porous tube. Before the zeolite layer is formed, the connection member is bonded to the porous tube. Thus, the binder can have a melting temperature exceeding the limit of up to 600 DEG C, which is the heat-resistance limit to zeolite. This widens the choice of ceramic oxide compositions, e.g., glass compositions, to be used in the binder (there are no limitations on glass softening temperature).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a zeolite separation membrane for separating a desired component from a mixture of liquid or gas. Ethanol / water membrane separation device used in the ethanol refining process, or a membrane separation device that removes water from aqueous organic solvents and recovers high-concentration organic solvents, among mechanical equipment that ferments raw materials to produce ethanol. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the separation membrane and a binder used in the separation membrane. Background technique [0002] As a method of joining or sealing a tube at one end of a zeolite separation membrane, the following known techniques are known. [0003] Patent Document 1 describes a tube end connection structure having a ceramic tube with a zeolite membrane, a metal tube connected to the ceramic tube, and a member having elasticity or fluidity. The elastic or fluid members relate to the outer su...
