Shuttle tankers are becoming more widely used in deep water installations as a means of transporting crude oil to storage plants and refineries. The emissions of hydrocarbon vapours arise mainly during loading and offloading operations. Experiments have been carried out on the use of polyurethane/zeolite membrane on an alumina support for the separation of methane from carbon dioxide and oxygen. The physical properties of the membrane were investigated by FTIR. Single gas permeation tests with methane, propane, oxygen and carbon dioxide at a temperature of 293 K and pressure ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 x 10-5 Pa were carried out. The molar flux of the gases through the membrane was in the range of 3 x 10-2 to 1 x 10-1 molm-2s-1. The highest separation factor of CH4/CO2 and CH4/O2 and CH4/C3H8 was determined to be 1.7, 1.7 and 1.6 respectively.

In this study, seeding of DD3R particles as an important step in the synthesis of DD3R membrane with secondary growth method was investigated. Dip-coating method is used for seeding of DD3R particles on the modified surface of α-alumina supports. 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 wt% aqueous suspensions of the DD3R seeds were prepared and each support was coated three times with dipping time of 240 s. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was used for the investigation of the quality of seed layer formed on the support. It is shown that the uniform layer of seeds was formed with 0.2 wt% seed suspension concentration. DD3R zeolite membrane was synthesized via hydrothermal method on the support seeded with 0.2 wt% seed suspension concentration. The X-ray diffraction and SEM analysis confirmed the synthesis of uniform DD3R zeolite membrane layer on the support which can be due to the uniform distribution of the DD3R seeds. Single gas permeation tests of N2, CO2 and CH4 were carried out, so that good perm-selectivity for gas mixtures was observed.

Mixed Metal

In this paper, we propose mixed metal ions in the node of the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) structure. The hybrid metal ZIF is formed for the gas separation of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. In the first stage, the nanoparticles were prepared as a coating on a substrate, and acting as secondary growing nuclei. The hybrid metal ZIF structures were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms determined surface area, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the microstructure and surface morphology. The hybrid metal ZIF-8-67 powder had the largest surface area (1260.40 m2 g−1), and the nanoparticles (100 nm) could be fully dense-coated on the substrate to benefit the subsequent membrane growth. In the second stage, we prepared the hybrid metal ZIF-8-67 membrane on the pre-seeding substrate with mixed metal nanoparticles of cobalt and zinc, by the microwave hydrothermal method. Cobalt ions were identified in the tetrahedral coordination through UV–Vis, and the membrane structure and morphology were determined by XRD and SEM. Finally, a gas permeation analyzer (GPA) was used to determine the gas separation performance of the hybrid metal ZIF-8-67 membrane. We successfully introduced zinc ions and cobalt ions into the ZIF structure, where cobalt had a strong interaction with CO2. Therefore, GPA analysis showed an excellent H2/CO2 separation factor due to lower CO2 permeability. The CO2 permeance was ~0.65 × 10−8 mol m−2 s−1 Pa−1, and the separation factors for H2/CO2 and H2/N2 were 9.2 and 2.9, respectively. Our results demonstrate that the hybrid metal ZIF-8-67 membrane has a superior H2/CO2 separation factor, which can be attributed to its very high specific surface area and structure. Based on the above, hybrid metal ZIF-8-67 membranes are expected to be applied in hydrogen or carbon dioxide gas separation and purification.

Permeation Properties

The polycrystalline CHA-type zeolite layer with Si/Al = 18 was formed on the porous α-Al2O3 tube in this study, and the gas permeation properties were determined using single-component H2, CO2, N2, CH4, n-C4H10, and SF6 at 303–473 K. The membrane showed permeation behavior, wherein the permeance reduced with the molecular size, attributed to the effect of molecular sieving. The separation performances were also determined using the equimolar mixtures of N2–SF6, CO2–N2, and CO2–CH4. As a result, the N2/SF6 and CO2/CH4 selectivities were as high as 710 and 240, respectively. However, the CO2/N2 selectivity was only 25. These results propose that the high-silica CHA-type zeolite membrane is suitable for the separation of CO2 from CH4 by the effect of molecular sieving.

In the present work, ceramic-supported chitosan hybrid membranes were prepared for the pervaporation dehydration of ethanol. Mullite and combined mullite-alumina (50% alumina content) tubular low-cost ceramic supports were fabricated, and their influence on membrane performance was compared to a commercial α-alumina support. The membrane preparation parameters were different ceramic supports and the concentration of chitosan solution (varying from 2 wt.% to 4 wt.%). The supports and hybrid membranes were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and contact angle measurements. The results show, with increasing chitosan concentration, the permeability decreases, and selectivity increases. It was also found that the separation factor decreases with increasing feed temperature and feed water content, while the permeation flux increases. The membrane that was coated on α-alumina support with a 3 wt.% chitosan concentration exhibited the best pervaporation performance, leading to a permeation flux and separation factor of 352 g·m−2·h−1 and 200 for 90 wt.% ethanol in feed at 60 °C, respectively.

The spatial redistribution of the 235U isotope of natural uranium in a gradient temperature field along the height of the reactor in supercritical carbon dioxide has been experimentally investigated. The scheme of the reactor is given and the principle of operation of the reactor is described. The method of preparation of initial samples from granite samples containing natural uranium and the procedure of extraction are described. The conclusion about the spatial redistribution of 235U isotopes in supercritical carbon dioxide is based on the analysis of gamma spectra of extracts. It is shown that the concentration of the 235U isotope in a supercritical fluid is maximal near the lower heated flange of the reactor, and decreases with approaching the upper, cooled flange. It was concluded that the separation factor of the 235U isotope in supercritical carbon dioxide can be about 1.2 ± 0.12.
