Abstract:

Sn-modified MFI zeolite membranes were prepared by chemical vapor deposition(CVD) method using anhydrous SnCl4 as Sn source, and were applied for the separation of alcohol-water mixture by pervaporation. SEM, XRD, 29Si NMR and UV-Vis analyses showed that Sn can be introduced into the framework of MFI zeolite membranes by CVD process with their structure remained. The surface Si—OH groups can be effectively reduced after the incorporation of Sn, and the obtained membranes showed improved stability. The zeolite membrane prepared with 3 mL of SnCl4 at autoclave bottom and the reaction time of 1 h had the best separation performance and also showed a long-term stability for the separation of 5% ethanol/water mixture at 60 ℃. After 50 h, the permeation flux slightly decreased from 1.52 kg·m-2·h-1 to 1.38 kg·m-2·h-1, and the separation factor decreased from 18 to 16.
