Abstract

Abstract: Growth process of the NaY zeolite membranes was investigated by fluoride-containing precursor synthesis gel. Compared with the fluoride-free precursor synthesis gel, the irregular NaY zeolite crystals were dissolved into amorphous by the fluoride-containing precursor synthesis gel initially, the amorphous contained the Y-type zeolite characteristic bands by the IR characterization. The fine square NaY zeolite crystals arose from the amorphous, which were accumulated and gradually grew into a dense NaY zeolite layer on the support surface after 6.5 h. Because the excessive NaY zeolites were dissolved by the strong alkaline and fluoride-containing precursor synthesis gel, there was plenty of amorphous on NaY zeolites layer for prolonging the crystallization time. The as-synthesized NaY zeolite membranes had a good separation performance and repeatability for separation of 10 wt% methanol (MeOH)/methyl methacrylate (MMA) mixture by pervaporation, the flux and separation factor were (1.27 ± 0.07) kg·m^-2·h^-1 and (4900 ± 1500) at 323 K, respectively. Besides, the NaY zeolite membranes were applied to separate the other short chain alcohol from the various alcohol/organic ester and alcohol/organic ether mixtures, the NaY zeolite membranes showed high short chain alcohol perm-selectivity.
