polycrystalline mfi zeolite membranes were prepared on α-alumina tubular support by hydrothermal treatments at 413 k. the synthesized zeolite membranes were characterized by xrd, sem and single gas permeation. the influence of hydrothermal treatment steps and the calcination time on the zeolite layer formation were investigated. mfi zeolite membrane prepared by four subsequent hydrothermal trea...

In this paper, the performances of potential zeolite membranes were estimated by the Maxwell-Stefan model and then they were placed in Robeson plot of propylene/propane separation. Additionally, the effects of feed pressure and the mole fraction of propylene in the feed on both the propylene permeabilities and membrane permselectivities were investigated. The results showed that zeolite membran...

[1] The Noachian terrain west of the Isidis basin hosts a diverse collection of alteration minerals in rocks comprising varied geomorphic units within a 100,000 km region in and near the Nili Fossae. Prior investigations in this region by the Observatoire pour l’Minéralogie, l’Eau, les Glaces, et l’Activité (OMEGA) instrument on Mars Express revealed large exposures of both mafic minerals and i...

The synthesized zeolite membranes were characterized by XRD, SEM and single gas permeation. The influence of hydrothermal treatment steps and the calcination time on the zeolite layer formation were investigated. MFI zeolite membrane prepared by four subsequent hydrothermal ...

a pebax-nano zeolite x mixed matrix membrane was fabricated and operationally characterized using single gas (co2) permeation. x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis was used to study the arrangement of polymer chains of mixed matrix membrane. the membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem) to study cross-sectional morphology. the single gas permeability were carried out for ne...

BACKGROUND Butanol is regarded as an advanced biofuel that can be derived from renewable biomass. However, the main challenge for microbial butanol production is low butanol titer, yield and productivity, leading to intensive energy consumption in product recovery. Various alternative separation technologies such as extraction, adsorption and gas stripping, etc., could be integrated with aceton...

mfi zeolite membranes were prepared on porous α-alumina substrates, using secondary growth of nano-seeded layers. the resulting membranes were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray diffractometry (xrd), and pervaporation performance tests for separation of benzene, toluene and xylene (btx) mixture from contaminated water. the morphology, thickness, homogeneity, cry...
