Synthesis of MCM-22 Zeolite Membrane on a Porous Alumina Support

Abstract:

Much interest has been aroused in the application in industrial processes using zeolite membrane, due to its crystalline structure, and narrow pore diameters. These features enable the continuous separation of mixtures based on differences in molecular size and shape and also based on different adsorption properties. This paper reports the synthesis of MCM-22 zeolite membrane, using the method of secondary growth. The MCM-22 zeolite was synthesized by the hydrothermal method and characterized by spectroscopy Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).The ceramic support (α-alumina) was prepared using the technique of forming powder and then subjected to the sintering temperature of 1400 °C/1h and characterized by XRD. The zeolite membrane preparation was performed by the method of secondary growth and characterized by XRD, SEM and mercury porosimetry. The obtained zeolite membrane could be confirmed by X-ray diffraction. From, the obtained SEM pictures it was possible to observe the formation of a homogeneous film on the zeolite surface of the ceramic support (α-alumina).
