Zeolite Membrane
A zeolite membrane is a synthetic membrane made of crystalline aluminosilicate materials, typically aluminum, silicon, and oxygen with positive counterions such as Na+ and Ca2+ within the structure. Zeolite membranes serve as a low energy separation method. They have recently drawn interest due to their high chemical and thermal stability, and their high selectivity. Currently zeolites have seen applications in gas separation, membrane reactors, Desalination, water desalination, and Solid-state battery, solid state batteries. Currently zeolite membranes have yet to be widely implemented commercially due to key issues including low flux, high cost of production, and defects in the crystal structure. Production methods There are several methods used for the formation of Zeolite membranes. The ''In Situ'' method involves Zeolite membranes being formed on microporous supports of various materials, typically aluminum oxide or stainless steel. These supports are then immersed in a solu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
