Dense and good catalytic performance TS-1 zeolite membranes were rapidly prepared on porous mullite support by secondary hydrothermal synthesis. The properties of seed crystals were very important for the preparation of high-catalytic performance TS-1 zeolite membranes. Influences of seed crystals (Ti/Si ratios, size, morphology, and zeolites concentration of the seed suspension) on the growth and catalytic property of TS-1 zeolite membranes were investigated in details. High Ti/Si ratio, medium-size, and morphology of the seed crystals were critical for preparing the high-performance TS-1 zeolite membrane. Compared with the bi-layer TS-1 zeolite membrane (inner and outer of the mullite tube), the mono-layer TS-1 zeolite membrane had a better catalytic performance for Isopropanol IPA oxidation with H2O2. When the Ti/Si ratio, size, and morphology of the TS-1 zeolites were 0.030, 300 nm, ellipsoid, and the zeolites concentration of the seed suspension was 5%, the IPA conversion, and flux through the TS-1 zeolite membrane were 98.23% and 2.58 kg·m−2·h−1, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
