| description | Abstract The support for the membrane is the basis for the preparation and application of the zeolite membrane. Moreover, its cost and properties directly determine the performance of the zeolite membrane and its industrial applications. A novel porous silicon carbide (SiC) support for zeolite membrane bonded with needle-like mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2) was prepared using SiC powders as the raw material and kaolin, Al(OH)3, and AlF3 as the needle-like mullite precursor additives via an in situ high-temperature reactions in an air atmosphere. Effects of the support material composition and the sintering temperature on the sintering behavior, pore structure, permeability, and microstructure of the resultant supports were extensively investigated. The needle-like mullite formation consumed silicon oxide (SiO2) and generated a rigid skeleton structure with a good pore structure and bonding phase. Hence, the porous SiC support exhibited high porosity, with relatively large pore size and mechanical strength, which helped improve the support performance. Notably, the porous SiC support sintered at 1480 °C with in situ inter-particle needle-like mullite bonding exhibited excellent filtration and permeability performance. The porous support materials and methods used in this work are suitable for designing and preparing a novel porous SiC support for zeolite membranes. |
