Background
Statistically, industrial energy consumption accounts for about 32% of total energy consumption, and most of the energy is applied in the direction of material separation. The existing separation technology comprises rectification, extraction, adsorption, recrystallization and the like, wherein the rectification is the most widely applied technology, in the process, vaporization and condensation are required to be repeated continuously, a large amount of energy consumption is required, and the rectification has many low efficiency conditions in other energy utilization aspects. Compared with the traditional separation technologies, the membrane separation technology has the advantages of low energy consumption, less pollution, easiness in realizing continuous separation, easiness in coupling with other separation processes, mild use conditions, easiness in amplification and the like, and is more and more widely applied in many industrial fields.
The key point of the membrane separation technology is that the membrane component is mainly divided into an organic membrane, an inorganic membrane and a biological membrane. Compared with organic films, inorganic films have the advantages of high mechanical strength, strong chemical corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, difficult aging and the like, and are widely applied. The NaA molecular sieve membrane is used as one of inorganic membranes, has the advantages of the inorganic membranes, simultaneously becomes the most hydrophilic molecular sieve artificially synthesized at present due to the characteristics of 0.41nm of effective pore diameter, 1 silicon-aluminum ratio and the like, and has excellent separation effect in the dehydration of organic solvents, particularly in the dehydration field of alcohol-water azeotrope systems and the like. In recent years, the fuel ethanol has great development prospect due to energy shortage, the preparation of the absolute ethanol generally adopts a rectification method, but when the water content is low, an azeotrope is generated, and 100 percent ethanol is difficult to obtain, and if a NaA molecular sieve membrane is applied to a pervaporation separation technology, the application of the fuel ethanol can be promoted.
The existing synthesis method of the NaA molecular sieve membrane mainly comprises an in-situ synthesis method, a secondary growth method, a microwave heating synthesis method, a steam phase conversion method and the like. The in-situ hydrothermal synthesis method is simple and easy to operate, but the membrane preparation method is not easy to control the thickness and the size of crystal grains of the membrane, the surface of the membrane is easy to have the problems of unevenness, cracks and the like, and the membrane separation performance and the flux are greatly influenced. The method separates the growth period and the nucleation period of crystals, firstly coats a layer of seed crystal on the surface of a support to be used as a crystal nucleus in the in-situ hydrothermal synthesis process, and when the seed crystal is used as a growth center during the hydrothermal reaction in a synthetic liquid system, the seed crystal shortens the crystallization time of the film, and plays a certain role in controlling the thickness of the film and the generation of mixed crystals; wherein, the crystal coating step on the surface of the support has important influence on the quality of the obtained NaA molecular sieve membrane.
At present, there are many methods for coating crystal, such as hot dipping, vacuum coating, and wiping. The most widely applied hot dipping method is that the support body is subjected to heat treatment, hot air is formed inside the support body, the support body is rapidly cooled to form negative pressure when being immersed in liquid crystal, and the seed crystal is adsorbed on the surface of the support body to form a seed crystal layer under the push of pressure difference; in the process, the coating time is short, the distribution of the crystal seeds is not uniform enough, and the surface of the carrier cannot be completely covered even if the crystal coating is repeated for many times. Several other coating methods also make it difficult to achieve a uniform distribution of the seeds on the support. The quality of seed crystal coating has great influence on the thickness, uniformity, compactness and the like of the NaA molecular sieve membrane, thereby influencing the performance of the membrane.
