High-Performance FAU Zeolite Membranes Derived from Nano-Seeds for Gas Separation.

ABSTRACT: In this study, high-performance FAU (NaY type) zeolite membranes were successfully synthesized using small-sized seeds of 50 nm, and their gas separation performance was systematically evaluated. Employing nano-sized NaY seeds and an ultra-dilute reaction solution with a molar composition of 80 Na₂O: 1Al₂O₃: 19 SiO₂: 5000H₂O, the effects of synthesis temperature, crystallization time, and porous support (α-Al₂O₃ or mullite) on the formation of FAU membranes were investigated. The results illustrated that further extending the crystallization time or increasing the synthesis temperature led to the formation of a NaP impurity phase on the FAU membrane layer. The most promising FAU membrane with a thickness of 2.7 µm
