- Hierarchical porous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs) were synthesized at room temperature via a template-free approach under dynamic conditions (stirring) using water as a solvent. The ZIF-8 NPs were evaluated as adsorbents for rare earth elements (La3+, Sm3+ and Dy3+). Adsorption equilibrium was reached after 7h and high adsorption capacities were obtained for dysprosium and samarium (430.4 and 281.1 mg g(-1), respectively) and moderate adsorption capacity for lanthanum (28.8 mg g(-1)) at a pH of 7.0. The high adsorption capacitiese, as well as the high stability of ZIF-8 NPs, make the hierarchical ZIF-8 materials as an efficient adsorbent for the recovery of La3+, Sm3+ and Dy3+ from aqueous solution.

- Two isostructural series of lanthanide metal-organic frameworks denoted as SUMOF-7II (Ln) and SUMOF-7IIB (Ln) (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, and Gd) were synthesized using4,4',4 ''-(pyridine-2,4,6-triyl)tris(benzoic acid) (H(3)L2) and a mixture of H(3)L2 and 4,4',4 ''-(benzene-1,3,5-triyl)tris(benzoic acid) (H3BTB) as linkers, respectively. Both series were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal analysis (TGA), and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Photoluminescence measurements show that Eu-MOFs demonstrate a red emission while Pr- and Nd-MOFs display an emission in the near-infrared (NIR) range. On the other hand, La-, Ce-, Sm- and Gd-MOFs exhibit only a ligand-centered emission. The average luminescence lifetimes in the SUMOF-7IIB series are 1.3-1.4-fold longer than the corresponding ones in the SUMOF-7II series. SUMOF-7IIs show a good photo- and thermal stability. Altogether, the properties of SUMOF-7II and SUMOF-7IIB render them promising materials for applications including sensing, biosensing, and telecommunications.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the present work, a carbon/cobalt composite was prepared and evaluated for adsorption of ecologically harmful tannic acid (TA). The composite was prepared by simply mixing phenolic resin with ZIF-67 and following by carbonization. TEM and SEM images showed that ZIF-67 was etched by phenolic resin and cobalt nanoparticles were formed and evenly distributed in carbon. Macroporous structure was generated between the carbonized phenolic resin and ZIF-67. N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms results exhibited that the composite also had both micro- and meso-pores (average pore size of 5 nm) with a high surface area of 393 m2 g−1. Porous structure and evenly distributed cobalt nanoparticles facilitated the diffusion and adsorption of TA due to the formation of the complex between TA macromolecules and cobalt. The highest observed adsorption amount was as high as 2778 mg g−1, significantly higher than that of the carbon prepared from carbonization of phenolic resin (205 mg g−1) and ZIF-67 (1375 mg g−1). The carbon composite material is easy to recover and reuse due to the magnetic property. The reuse experiment also showed high stability of the composite. All of the results indicated a great potential of the developed carbon composite material in wastewater treatment in the industry.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A new silicogermanate (PKU-20) was hydrothermally synthesized using triethylisopropylammonium cation as the structure directing agent in the presence of fluoride. Its structure was determined from a combination of synchrotron single crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction data. PKU-20 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m, with the lattice parameters of a = 18.5901(6) angstrom, b = 13.9118 (4) angstrom, c = 22.2614(7) angstrom and beta = 100.1514 (12)degrees. The framework of PKU-20 is constructed from an alternate stacking of sti and asv layers. The sti layer is exactly the same as that in the STI framework, while the asv layer is a new layer sliced off from the ASV framework parallel to the (112) plane. The takeout scheme of the layer is discussed on the basis of a composite building unit D4R-/au-D4R. PKU-20 possesses a two-dimensional channel system, where the 10-ring channels parallel to the [010] direction are intercrossed by 12-ring pockets along the [101] direction.

Langmuir - Blodgett monolayers of SBA-15 particles with different morphologies

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study presents an optimized protocol for the deposition of mesoporous SBA-15 particles with platelet-like and rod-like morphologies on different types of supporting substrates using LangmuirBlodgett methodology, resulting in the formation of monolayers with porosity orientation controlled by the type, i. e. the morphology, of particles used over large areas. The morphology of the SBA-15 particles and specifically their aspect ratio are essential for the orientation of the particles and, hence, the orientation of the intrinsic porosity. Deposition on a surface, establishes a layer of SBA-15 platelets with pores oriented perpendicular to the substrate, or a layer of SBA-15 rods with pores oriented parallel to the substrate. In both cases, the oriented SBA-15 particles can be deposited onto areas that are larger than square centimeter using Langmuir-Blodgett technique. SEM characterization demonstrates formation of uniform close-packed layer of oriented mesoporous SBA-15 silica particles. Additionally, the particles coverage of the surface is independent and unaffected by the type of supporting substrate, which allows convenient experimental performance without requiring surface or particle modifications. In conclusion, Langmuir Blodgett is a convenient technique for deposition of mesoporous SBA-15 particles with different morphology types in order to obtain a close-packed layer. The methodology is suitable to create large area sensors, used in; for instance, bio-sensing applications. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Self-Diffusion of Phosphonium Bis(Salicylato)Borate Ionic Liquid in Pores of Vycor Porous Glass
- 2016

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 1H NMR pulsed field gradient was used to study self-diffusion of a phosphonium bis(salicylato)borate ionic liquid ([P6,6,6,14][BScB]) in the pores of Vycor porous glass at 296 K. Confinement in pores increases diffusion coefficients of the ions by a factor of 35. However, some [P6,6,6,14][BScB] ions demonstrated apparent diffusion coefficients much lower than their mean values, which may be due to partially restricted diffusion of the ions. We suggest that this fraction corresponds to areas where ions are confined by pore ‘necks’ (micropores) and empty voids. Heating of the ionic liquid / Vycor system at 330 K led to a change in the diffusivity of the ions, because of their redistribution in the pores. The size of the bounded regions is on the order of 1 µm, as estimated from the dependence of the ion diffusivity on the diffusion time.

- Bolivian diatomite was successfully used as a silica source for the synthesis of zeolite Y. Prior to synthesis, the diatomite was leached with sulfuric acid to remove impurities and aluminum sulfate was used as an aluminum source. The raw materials were reacted hydrothermally at 100 °C in water with sodium hydroxide and different Na2O/SiO2 ratios were investigated. The final products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, gas adsorption and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy. Diatomites originating from different locations and therefore containing different types and amounts of minerals and clays as impurities were investigated. After optimization of synthesis time, zeolite Y with low SiO2/Al2O3 ratio (3.0–3.9) was obtained at a high yield for high alkalinity conditions (Na2O/SiO2 = 0.85–2.0). Lower Na2O/SiO2 ratios resulted in incomplete dissolution of diatomite and lower yield. Nevertheless, decreasing alkalinity resulted in a steady increase of the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio in zeolite Y. Consequently, it was possible to synthesize almost pure zeolite Y with a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 5.3 for a Na2O/SiO2 ratio of 0.6, albeit at a low yield. In this respect, diatomite enables the synthesis of high silica zeolite Y and behaves similarly to colloidal silica in traditional syntheses, with both sources of silica having in common a high degree of polymerization. Interestingly, the presence of minerals and clays in the starting diatomite had marginal effects on the outcome of the synthesis. However, their dissolution resulted in presence of calcium and magnesium in the zeolite Y crystals. Finally, overrun of all investigated compositions resulted in the formation of zeolite P nucleating and growing onto dissolving zeolite Y crystals, which was shown to be triggered when aluminum was completely depleted at high alkalinity

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Size-controllable monodispersed carbon@silica core-shell microspheres and hollow silica microspheres were prepared in a simple homemade T-type mixer by polymerization of furfuryl alcohol (FA) and hydrolysis of TEOS in H2SO4 water phase microdroplets to obtain polyfurfuryl alcohol (PFA)@silica microspheres, followed by carbonization and calcination. The FA and TEOS diffuse into the water phase from an oil phase. The flow rates of oil and water phase were 4 and 2 ml h−1, respectively. It was found that the concentration of FA has a more significant effect on the diameter of carbon@silica core-shell microspheres than TEOS due to the template effect of the PFA core. However, the diameter of the hollow silica microspheres was influenced by the concentration of TEOS more significantly. The obtained core-shell microspheres and hollow silica microspheres have large surface area of 555 and 769 m2 g−1, respectively. The hollow silica microspheres have both microporous and mesoporous structure, and the percentage of mesoporous volume was as high as 89%. In addition, based on the study results, a rational formation process of the carbon@silica core-shell microsphere and hollow silica microspheres was assumed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Hydrogen sorption properties of graphene-related materials were studied by gravimetric and volumetric methods at 2931< and 77K. Rapid thermal exfoliation of different types of graphite oxide (GO) precursors yielded samples with maximal surface areas up to 850 m(2)/g, whereas surface areas up to 2300 m(2)/g were achieved by post-exfoliation activation treatments. Therefore, hydrogen storage parameters of graphene materials could be evaluated in a broad range of surface areas. The H-2 uptake vs surface area trend revealed in this study shows that hydrogen storage by graphene materials do not exceed 1 Wt% at 120 Bar H-2 at ambient temperatures. Linear increase of hydrogen adsorption vs surface area was observed at 77 K with maximal observed value of similar to 5 Wt% for 2300 m(2)/g sample. It can be concluded that bulk graphene samples obtained using graphite oxide exfoliation and activation follow standard for other nanostructured carbons hydrogen uptake trends and do not demonstrate superior hydrogen storage parameters reported in several earlier studies. Nevertheless, graphene remains to be one of the best materials for physisorption of hydrogen, especially at low temperatures.

Graphene decorated with metal nanoparticles : Hydrogen sorption and related artefacts

- Hydrogen sorption by reduced graphene oxides (r-GO) is not found to increase after decoration with Pd and Pt nanoparticles. Treatments of metal decorated samples using annealing under hydrogen or air were tested as a method to create additional pores by effects of r-GO etching around nanoparticles. Increase of Specific Surface Area (SSA) was observed for some air annealed r-GO samples. However, the same treatments applied to activated r-GO samples with microporous nature and higher surface area result in breakup of structure and dramatic decrease of SSA. Our experiments have not revealed effects which could be attributed to spillover in hydrogen sorption on Pd or Pt decorated graphene. However, we report irreversible chemisorption of hydrogen for some samples which can be mistakenly assigned to spillover if the experiments are incomplete.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The systematic investigation of the solvothermal system Al3+/5-fluoroisophthalic acid (H(2)mBDC-5F)/isophthalic acid (H(2)mBDC)/DMF/H2O through a mixed-linker approach led to new mixed-linker CAU-10 derivatives containing 11, 28 and 44% of fluorinated linker molecules (denoted as CAU-10-H/F-11, CAU-10-H/F-28 and CAU-10-H/F-44, respectively), as determined by NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of CAU-10-H/F-28 was determined using the Rietveld method (space group 14(1)md, a = b = 21.3075(5), c = 10.7101(3) angstrom). The structure is built up by helical chains composed of cis corner-sharing AlO6 polyhedra. Each of these helices is interconnected to four adjacent helices with alternating rotational orientation through the carboxylate groups of mBDC(2-) linker molecules. Thus, accessible, square-shaped channels are formed. Sorption measurements revealed a high dependency of the adsorbed amount of gas on the degree of fluorination. With increasing fluorination, the total uptake decreases in N-2, H-2 and H2O sorption experiments and the hydrophobic character of the pores increases. In addition, an extended CAU-10 derivative, CAU-10-HTATB, was discovered using the tricarboxylic acid 4,4',4-s-triazine-2,4,6-triyl-tribenzoic acid (H(3)TATB) during the high-throughput investigation of the system Al3+/H(3)TATB/DMF/H2O. This new MOF, which was denoted CAU-10-HTATB, was thoroughly characterized using IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and elemental analysis, temperature dependent powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and sorption measurements. Although the compound is thermally stable up to 400 degrees C according to temperature-dependent PXRD measurements, it is not porous towards N2 molecules. The structure of CAU-10-HTATB could be also refined from PXRD data using the Rietveld method (space group l4(1)/a, a = b = 36.438 (1), c = 10.9373 (9) angstrom).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Highly intergrown nanocrystals are commonly observed in zeolite samples, and the densely packed agglomerates may result in small secondary porosity, which restricts the advantage of hierarchical structures. In this work we take IZM-2 zeolite as an example to demonstrate a post-treatment method with diluted hydrofluoric acid solution, which de-agglomerates intergrown zeolite nanocrystals and improves the secondary porosity. The treated samples preserve high crystallinity, similar framework composition and distinctively higher external surface area compared to the agglomerated ones. The results show that this treatment is an effective method for de-agglomeration of intergrown nanocrystals without affecting the original framework.

Microporous pure-silica IZM-2

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Pure-silica IZM-2 was synthesized for the first time, and the concentration of sodium hydroxide used during synthesis affected the phase purity and size of crystals. Most of the micropores in calcined pure silica IZM-2 that was synthesized in the presence of high concentrations of sodium hydroxide were inaccessible to N-2 adsorption; however, the micropores could be rendered accessible by applying either of two different post-synthetic treatments. Pure-silica IZM-2 could also be synthesized without sodium ions using the hydroxide version of the template. In this case, the micropores were accessible to N-2 directly after calcination. The size of pure-silica IZM-2 crystals obtained increased with the concentration of sodium hydroxide, with the highest concentrations giving spherical and micrometer-sized aggregates of pure-silica IZM-2 that consisted of intergrown particles (60-500 nm). The nature of the defects in pure-silica IZM-2 was studied with a combination of H-1, and Si-29 solid-state NMR spectroscopy. As expected, direct-polarization Si-29 NMR spectroscopy showed that the number of non-condensed silica groups decreased upon calcination. Calcined samples also showed broader Si-29 NMR bands for the fully condensed silica moieties, which indicated a broader distribution of bond angles and/or bond lengths. The siloxy and silanol groups in calcined pure-silica IZM-2 were accessible to protonation as determined by H-1 NMR spectroscopy. We could not determine the structure of pure-silica IZM-2 in its aggregated form; however, further studies of the synthetic conditions could yield larger, non-aggregated crystals that would facilitate structural determination.

Nanocrystalline TON-type zeolites synthesized under static conditions

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Pure-phase zeolites of the TON-type were synthesized under static hydrothermal conditions, which previously have, typically, required stirring during synthesis. Heterocyclic structure directing agents (SDAs) were observed to play important roles in both the selection of the polymorphs as well as in affecting the morphology of the particles formed. When an imidazole-based SDA was used snowflake shaped particles formed, which indicated a dendritic growth pattern of the zeolite. These zeolite particles possessed intercrystalline mesopores. To the best of our knowledge, it is for the first time that snowflake-shaped particles have been observed for TON-type zeolites. Other synthesis parameters were optimized to obtain crystals with short c-axes. The c-axis shortened with an increased solid concentration used during synthesis. This shortening was attributed to both the degree of supersaturation, and a change of the crystal growth mechanism. Short c-axes could increase the concentration of pore mouths in TON-type zeolites. Altogether, synthesis of nanocrystalline zeolites of the TON type under static condition could, potentially, be advantageous to large-scale production.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- ZSM-5 zeolite crystals with carefully controlled thicknesses in the range 20–110 nm, i.e. in the colloidal domain, were synthesized in fluoride and hydroxide media. The crystals were treated in steam at high temperature to evaluate the stability and evaluated by SEM, XRD, NMR and NH3-TPD. The results showed that the framework of crystals synthesized in fluoride media was more stable than the framework of crystals synthesized in hydroxide media. This should be an effect of lower concentration of structural defects and silanol groups in the former zeolites as reported by other groups. However, independently of the synthesis conditions, all crystals dealuminated rapidly when treated with steam at the conditions investigated in the present work.

- The CO2 adsorption and CO2 adsorption kinetics were evaluated by thermogravimetry on two Prussian blue analogues, K2x/3CuII [Fe-x(II) Fe-1-x(III) (CN)(6)](2/3), with nominally K-free x = 0.0 and K-rich x = 1.0. Differential isosteric heats of adsorption were determined from adsorption isotherms using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation and integral values by differential scanning calorimetry. The average differential heats of CO2 adsorption are 28 kJ/mol for x = 0.0 and 33 kJ/mol for x = 1.0. Both compositions show small maxima in differential heat at similar to 1 mmol/g. The integral adsorption heats were determined to be 26 kJ/mol for both x = 0.0 and x = 1.0. The kinetic CO(2 )adsorption/desorption curves can be modeled by a double exponential function describing two parallel processes with different rate constants. The activation energies for CO2 adsorption on x = 0.0 were 6 (1) kJ/mol for the faster component and 16 (1) kJ/mol for the slower one, while the corresponding values for x = 1.0 were 9 (1) kJ/mol and 7 (1) kJ/mol, respectively. The maximum CO2 uptake for both compositions was found to be similar to 4.5 mmol/g, 19.8 wt%, at 1 bar and 273 K. The materials exhibited fast adsorption kinetics and stable cyclic performance at room temperature. The kinetics were slower for the samples with x = 1.0 than for x = 0.0 which may be attributed to interactions between CO2 molecules and K+ ions.

The pseudo 2-D relaxation model for obtaining T1-T2 relationships from 1-D T1 and T2 measurements of fluid in porous media

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- NMR spin-lattice (T1) and spin-spin (T2) relaxation times and their inter-relation possess information on fluid behaviour in porous media. To elicit this information we utilize the pseudo 2-D relaxation model (P2DRM), which deduces the T1-T2 functional relationship from independent 1-D T1 and T2 measurements. Through model simulations we show empirically that the P2DRM accurately estimates T1-T2 relationships even when the marginal distributions of the true joint T1-T2 distribution are unknown or cannot be modeled. Estimates of the T1:. T2 ratio for fluid interacting with pore surfaces remain robust when the P2DRM is applied to simulations of rapidly acquired data. Therefore, the P2DRM can be useful in situations where experimental time is limited.

Ultramicroporous CO2 adsorbents with tunable mesopores based on polyimines synthesized under off-stoichiometric conditions

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A series of porous polymers with ultramicropores and tunable mesopores were synthesized by condensation reaction (Schiff base) of triamine and trialdehyde monomers. They had specific surface areas and pore volumes of up to 694 m2/g and 0.67 cm3/g. The ultramicropores seemed to have been templated by the solvent (DMSO) primarily. The size of the mesopores depended strongly on the amine-to-aldehyde ratio used during synthesis. With a moderate aldehyde excess, the irregular mesopores of the porous polymers increased in size. The polymers’ capacities to adsorb CO2 were large (0.93–1.58 mmol/g at 0.15 bar and 2.20–3.28 mmol/g at 1 bar; 0 °C) due to their large ultramicropore volumes, and the estimated CO2-over-N2 selectivities were also relatively high (31-90 for CO2/N2 mixtures with 15v%/85v% at 0 °C). The uptake of CO2 on the polymers was quite rapid, and it appears advantageous to have a combination of meso- and ultramicropores in this class of polymers for applications in carbon capture and storage.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Zeolite NaX@NaA core-shell microspheres were prepared via a post-treatment secondary growth of zeolite NaA films on outer surface of binderless zeolite NaX microspheres. The obtained core-shell microspheres were composed of intergrown octahedral NaX particles inside, with particles size of ca. 500–750 nm, and continuous zeolite NaA films on the outer surface with the thickness of about 2 μm. Higher CO2 separation performance was observed for the core-shell microspheres comparing to the parental binderless zeolite NaX microspheres. The ideal separation factors of zeolite NaX@NaA core-shell microspheres for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 were 13 and 47, and the adsorption selectivities for the corresponding binary mixtures were 308 and 923, significantly higher than the binderless zeolite NaX microspheres of 9 and 19 as well as 264 and 735, respectively. After K+ ion exchanging, the core-shell zeolite microspheres have even higher adsorption selectivities of 326 and 1109 for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 binary mixtures. The crushing strength of the binderless zeolite NaX microspheres was increased from 0.46 MPa to 3.42 MPa after the secondary growth. In addition, the growth of zeolite A film was resultant from interzeolite conversion and the interzeolite conversion was investigated by the conversion of zeolite NaX to NaA crystals in NaA membrane synthesis gel.

- In situ hydrolysis-gelation-hydrothermal (HGH) synthesis of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) technique was developed to prepare hollow zeolite NaA/chitosan composite microspheres. The chitosan solution coated calcium alginate microspheres served as template to generate hollow structure, which were pre-modified by oleic acid and coated by TEOS. Furthermore, the calcium alginate microspheres were prepared by a simple homemade double T-junction mixer. During the hydrothermal process, the TEOS hydrolyzed and provided silica source for the zeolite NaA shell, meanwhile the inner calcium alginate microsphere core dissolved by the alkaline synthesis mixture and left the hollow structure. The obtained products were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TG et al. techniques. The preparation method for calcium alginate microspheres template was simple and the preparation process had no NaA crystal seeds been involved. The hollow size could be adjusted by controlling the synthesis parameters of calcium alginate/chitosan microspheres. In addition, the functional magnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles could be introduced into the cavity during synthesis of calcium alginate/chitosan microspheres and guest magnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles had no effect on the properties of host zeolite NaA. The obtained functional magnetic hollow NaA/chitosan microspheres had decent adsorption performance for Cu2+ ions and were easy to recycle.

- In this work, we have synthesized four SAPO-34/44 (framework type code: CHA) samples by utilizing different organic structure-directing agent (OSDA) such as cyclohexylamine (CA), n-butylamine (BA), diisopropylamine (DIPA), and dipropylamine (DPA). An approach combining Rietveld refinement and simulated annealing has been successfully applied to determine the location of the individual OSDA and the host (inorganic framework)-guest (OSDA) interaction. The final Rietveld refinements show that 1) one cha cage can be occupied by either two OSDAs (CA and BA) in the up-and-down arrangement or one OSDA (DIPA and DPA) in the longitudinal configuration and 2) the classical hydrogen bond between CA/BA and the inorganic framework in SAPO-44-CA and SAPO-34-BA could be identified. The host-guest interactions among these four samples are also investigated by FT-IR, which are consistent with Rietveld refinement results. The approach employed here could be applicable for the host-guest investigation in other crystalline porous materials.

- Chitosan-assisted in situ impregnation−gelation−hydrothermal (IGH) crystallization process has been developed for the preparation of hollow fiber zeolite NaA membranes. Firstly, chitosan-zeolite NaA composite hollow fibers were prepared successfully by assistance of a simple homemade tube-in-orifice spinneret. The composite hollow fibers were initially prepared by in situ impregnation–gelation–hydrothermal transformation of chitosan-silica hollow fibers in aluminate solution. Zeolite NaA membranes can be subsequently obtained on the outer surface of chitosan-zeolite NaA composite hollow fibers by in situ microwave hydrothermal treatment. The zeolite crystals in the composite hollow fibers serve as seeds for the growth of zeolite membrane. Moreover, the chitosan-silica hollow fibers were prepared by solidification of chitosan hollow fibers, which were formed in the tube-in-orifice spinneret from a chitosan-silica sol viscous aqueous solution, in the sodium hydroxide solution. Pervaporation for separation of 90 wt% ethanol aqueous solution was employed to examine the obtained membranes. The hollow fiber membranes showed high permeation flux and high stability.

- Ultra-thin MFI zeolite membranes with different Si/Al ratios (152, 47 and 26) were prepared on graded α-alumina supports in the presence of organic template molecules and evaluated for separation of equimolar CO2/CH4 mixtures at temperatures from 315 to 249 K. The thicknesses of all membranes were less than 500 nm and permporometry showed that the number and size of defects were low for the two membranes with the highest Si/Al ratio (152 and 47). The membrane with the lowest Si/Al ratio (26) also had low amounts of defects in the mesopore range, but did have a few macropore defects. All membranes showed very high CO2permeances in the entire temperature range studied and the permeances increased with increasing temperature. The CO2 permances were also correlated to the Si/Al ratio of the membranes. The higher permeances was observed for membranes with higher Si/Al ratio. The highest observed CO2 permeance was 142 × 10−7 mol s−1 m−2Pa−1 at room temperature for the membrane with Si/Al = 152. The separation factor, on the other hand, increased with decreasing temperature for the two membranes with the highest Si/Al ratio (152 and 47), but for the membrane with a Si/Al ratio of 26, the separation factor went through a maximum at ca. 270 K. The highest separation factor observed was 7.1 at 249 K for the membrane with Si/Al = 47. These observations are consistent with an adsorption controlled separation mechanism.

- Surface deposited layers of mesoporous silica particles could function as support for bio-sensing or drug release applications. It is crucial to control the surface deposition process and employ relevant techniques to characterize the properties of the particles on the surface. Here, we deposit SBA-15 particles on native silica or cationic surfaces and characterize the hydration and dehydration by employing a novel method based on humidity scanning quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (HS QCM-D). SBA-15 platelets are deposited with mesopores oriented parallel to the surface normal using drop deposition. SEM shows a monolayer on the surface, which is established as stable. Water sorption-desorption isotherms of the SBA-15 layer from HS QCM-D are compared with isotherms from water sorption calorimetry and nitrogen sorption on bulk material. We demonstrate that HS QCM-D provides results in good agreement with results obtained with the reference methods. The properties of SBA-15 particles are retained during the deposition process and unaffected by the presence of the surface. In addition, HS QCM-D is a fast technique that requires significantly lower amount of material (∼5000 times) compared to experiments on bulk material. HS QCM-D provides complete characterization of the pore size distribution of SBA-15.
