Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of molecular sieve membrane preparation and application technology, specifically relating to a high-performance SSZ-13 molecular sieve membrane, a counter-diffusion preparation method, and its application in gas separation. This counter-diffusion preparation method can significantly reduce the use of organic template agents. Background Technology

[0002] The efficient purification of natural gas, especially for unconventional resources such as shale gas, tight gas, and coalbed methane, is a crucial step in achieving a low-carbon economic transformation. Selective removal of N2 is one of the main challenges currently facing the industry. The similar molecular size and physicochemical properties of N2 (0.36 nm) and CH4 (0.38 nm) make their separation difficult. Compared to traditional separation technologies, membrane separation is considered a promising alternative due to its advantages such as low energy consumption, small footprint, and flexible operation. Selecting high-performance membrane materials is a crucial prerequisite for achieving efficient N2 / CH4 separation.

[0003] CHA-type molecular sieve membranes, such as aluminosilicate SSZ-13 and aluminosilicate SAPO-34, exhibit the potential for efficient N2 separation from CH4 due to their regular and appropriately sized pore structure (0.38 nm × 0.38 nm). Among them, SSZ-13 zeolite with a high silica-to-alumina ratio (approximately 25–100:1) possesses excellent hydrothermal stability and hydrophobicity, making it more suitable for practical applications. Currently, SSZ-13 molecular sieve membranes are typically synthesized using a seed-assisted secondary hydrothermal method. Traditional secondary hydrothermal methods require a large amount of homogeneous synthesis solution containing expensive organic template agents to maintain solution saturation during SSZ-13 crystal growth. However, in actual synthesis, only a small amount of raw materials are converted into SSZ-13 molecular sieve membranes on the support surface; the majority of the remaining raw materials either form amorphous gels in solution or remain unreacted and difficult to recover, resulting in significant waste of organic template agents and high costs. This problem severely restricts the large-scale preparation and industrial application of SSZ-13 molecular sieve membranes. Therefore, developing an efficient synthesis method that can significantly reduce the amount of organic template agent used is of great economic and practical significance for promoting the preparation of high-performance SSZ-13 molecular sieve membranes.

[0004] Previous studies have explored synthetic routes with low template consumption. Nair et al. (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2022, 61, e202204265.) proposed a "viscosity-limited dry gel conversion method" for preparing CHA-type molecular sieve membranes. This method eliminates the need for liquid-phase hydrothermal treatment, making low-cost large-scale production possible. Zhou Rongfei et al. (Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2024, 63, 9964-9975) prepared SSZ-13 molecular sieve membranes using a gel-free method, saving on the use of solvents and organic templates. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a high-performance SSZ-13 molecular sieve membrane, a method for preparing it via counter-diffusion, and its application in gas separation.

[0006] The present invention discloses a method for preparing a high-performance SSZ-13 molecular sieve membrane by counter-diffusion, the preparation steps of which are as follows:

[0007] (1) Preparation of synthetic sol: NaOH and TM-40 silica sol were dissolved in water and stirred at room temperature to obtain synthetic sol A; organic template agent N,N,N-trimethyl-1-adamantyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAdaOH) was dissolved in water and stirred at room temperature to obtain synthetic sol B;

[0008] (2) SSZ-13 molecular sieve seed crystals are coated on the outer surface of the porous alumina tube to form a seed crystal layer, which serves as a nucleation site during the crystallization reaction;

[0009] (3) Synthesis of SSZ-13 molecular sieve membrane by counter-diffusion method: The synthetic sol B obtained in step (1) is added to the inside of the porous alumina tube with a seed layer on the surface obtained in step (2), and the two ends of the porous alumina tube are sealed with polytetrafluoroethylene caps and then placed in a reaction vessel; the synthetic sol A obtained in step (1) is added to the reaction vessel and completely immersed in the porous alumina tube, crystallized at high temperature, and finally the porous alumina tube is washed, dried and calcined to remove the organic template agent, and SSZ-13 molecular sieve membrane is obtained on the outer surface of the porous alumina tube;

[0010] Porous alumina tubes serve as the carrier. The kinetic diameter of CH4 is 0.38 nm, and the kinetic diameter of N2 is 0.364 nm, while the pore size of the SSZ-13 molecular sieve membrane prepared in this invention is 0.38 nm. When the N2 / CH4 mixed gas passes through the porous alumina tube, the SSZ-13 molecular sieve membrane confines CH4, preventing it from passing through the tube wall, while N2, with a molecular size smaller than 0.38 nm, can pass through. This invention separates the gases N2 and CH4 in this way.

[0011] Further, in step (1), the molar ratio of each component in the synthesized sol A is n(SiO2):n(Na2O):n(H2O)=1:(0.1~0.4):(40~160); the molar ratio of each component in the synthesized sol B is n(TMAdaOH):n(H2O)=(1~4):(400~1600);

[0012] Furthermore, the pore size of the porous alumina tube in step (2) is 200 nm, 500 nm or 2~3 μm;

[0013] Furthermore, the crystallization time in step (3) is 1 to 48 hours, and the crystallization temperature is 160 to 190°C.

[0014] The high-separation-performance SSZ-13 molecular sieve membrane of the present invention is prepared by the above method.

[0015] The high-performance SSZ-13 molecular sieve membrane described in this invention can be well applied in the separation of N2 / CH4.

[0016] This invention proposes a counter-diffusion crystallization strategy, which involves introducing an organic template agent solution and a silicon source solution onto opposite sides of a porous alumina tube, successfully synthesizing an SSZ-13 molecular sieve membrane to achieve efficient separation of N2 from CH4. Compared to the traditional hydrothermal synthesis method, this method requires only 7.5 wt% of the organic template agent solution. Furthermore, the unreacted organic template agent aqueous solution within the porous alumina tube can be recycled and reused, further improving raw material utilization. The optimized SSZ-13 molecular sieve membrane exhibits excellent N2 / CH4 separation performance.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0018] This invention successfully synthesized SSZ-13 molecular sieve membranes on alumina tubes via a counter-diffusion method, exhibiting excellent separation performance. The method provided by this invention significantly reduces the use of organic template agents, and the unreacted organic template agent solution within the support tube can be recycled and reused, further improving raw material utilization, reducing manufacturing costs, and minimizing pollution.

[0019] The relevant test conditions and methods involved in this invention are as follows:

[0020] Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) testing: The morphology of the prepared membrane samples was characterized using a Hitachi Regulus 8100 high-resolution scanning electron microscope.

[0021] X-ray electron diffraction (XRD) test: The structure of the prepared film sample was characterized using a Rigaku MiniFlex 600 desktop X-ray diffractometer.

[0022] The gas separation test was performed using the Wicke-Kallenbach Technique apparatus (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 7053-7056). The flow rates of N2, CH4 and carrier gas Ar were controlled by a mass flow controller. The feed gas permeating the membrane was purged by the carrier gas and entered the gas chromatograph. The contents of different gases were measured to ultimately determine the separation effect.

[0023] The gas permeation flux (Pi) can be calculated using formula (1):

[0024] (1)

[0025] Where Ni (mol s) -1 ) is the permeation flow rate of gas component i, Δpi (Pa) is the pressure difference across the membrane of component i, and A (m 2 ) is the effective area of ​​the membrane;

[0026] The separation factor (αi / j) for gas separation can be calculated using formula (2):

[0027] (2)

[0028] Where i and j represent two components in the mixture.

[0029] Gas chromatography (GC) analysis: Shimadzu GC2014; column temperature: 50℃; detector: TCD; the gas mixture consisted of N2 and CH4 in a 1:1 volume ratio. Attached Figure Description
