Specification
This paper reported a microporous composite silica membrane prepared by an acid-catalyzed polymerization route sol-gel method using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and bridged silsesquioxane [1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane, BTESE] as precursors. The composite silica membrane exhibited molecular sieve properties for small molecule gases such as H2, CO2, O2, N2, CH4 and SF6, and can be used for gas separation.
Preparation of TEOS/BTESE sol and composite silica membranes
· Initially, TEOS and ethanol were mixed and placed in an ice bath to prevent premature hydrolysis. Water and nitric acid were gradually added to the TEOS precursor while stirring vigorously, followed by reflux for 90 minutes at 60 °C. Next, a mixture of BTESE and absolute ethanol was added dropwise to the hydrolyzed TEOS solution. The reflux was continued at 60 °C for another 90 minutes, after which the sol was allowed to cool to room temperature, resulting in a final molar ratio of 1:0.3:5.6:0.085:6.5 (TEOS:BTESE:Ethanol:H2O:HNO3).
· The sol was then diluted sixfold before the final dip-coating step. A composite silica membrane, 150 nm thick and free of defects, was deposited onto a disk-shaped support made of macroporous α-Al2O3 with a mesoporous γ-Al2O3 interlayer through dip coating, followed by calcination in a nitrogen atmosphere.
In contrast to the conventional sintering method at temperatures below 300°C, this work achieved further improvement in thermal stability by sintering 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTESE) derived membranes at higher temperatures (550-700°C).
· Preparation of pH-Swing BTESE Sols
BTESE was combined with ethanol, water, and hydrochloric acid in the molar ratios of BTESE/HCl/H2O = 1/0.01/240, adjusting the precursors' weight percentages to 5% using ethanol as a solvent. The BTESE-derived sols were created through a pH-swing method. Initially, BTESE was hydrolyzed and condensed with water and hydrochloric acid at 50 °C for one hour. The pH of the sols was then altered from 2 to 9 by introducing a specific quantity of ammonia and stirring for a few minutes, followed by the addition of hydrochloric acid to bring the pH back to around 2 at 25 °C.
· Comparison of Gas Separation Performance of BTESE-Derived Membranes
Membranes fired at 700 °C displayed a selectivity of up to 100 for H2/CH4, with a hydrogen permeance of approximately 10^-6 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1. Additionally, BTESE-derived membranes treated at 550 °C in nitrogen and then in air maintained high selectivity values of approximately 100 for H2/CH4 and 2000 for H2/CF4. In contrast, membranes processed at 300 °C exhibited selectivity of about 30 for H2/CH4 and 200 for H2/CF4.
Safety information detail
At the same time, I received the safety information of 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane, which provided a basis for the use of safety.
Amazing results with 1,2-Bis(Triethoxysilyl)Ethane!
Used in my research, it greatly enhanced the bonding of my resin to silicatized titanium. The non-functional silane was easy to use and produced excellent results in preparing mesoporous organosilica materials. Highly recommend for scientific research purposes!
