“…In reality, however, the permeation properties will often be modified due to the existence of intercrystalline defect porosity caused by insufficient intergrowth of crystals, thermal removal of the template (e.g. tetra-propyl ammonium hydroxide (TPAOH)) [18,19], or the complete de-watering of the membrane layer [20,21]. Several researchers have reported changes in the unit cell dimensions of MFI-type zeolite crystals during heat treatment [21][22][23][24].…”

Desalination of seawater ion complexes by MFI-type zeolite membranes: temperature and long term stability, Journal of Membrane Science, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.memsci. 2013.10.071 This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting galley proof before it is published in its final citable form.

Permeation flux of the zeolite membrane significantly increased with increasing in temperature. Upon closer observation of the major cations, size selective diffusion in the zeolite membrane was observed over the temperatures tested. Larger ions Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ were less responsive to temperature than smaller ions Na + and K + . No changes in membrane structure were observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) after 180 days seawater exposure. However, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping on the surface of the membrane revealed a small quantity of tightly bound divalent cations present in the structure, which appear to have penetrated the zeolite, accelerated by temperature. They were suspected to have altered the permstructure, explaining why original high rejections at room temperature were not reversed after heat exposure. The work has shown that zeolite membranes can desalinate seawater, but other unusual effects such as ion selective diffusion as a function of temperature indicate a unique property for desalination membrane materials.

“…In reality, however, the permeation properties will often be modified due to the existence of intercrystalline defect porosity caused by insufficient intergrowth of crystals, thermal removal of the template, or the complete de-watering of the materials [14,15]. Thermal removal of tetra-propyl ammonium hydroxide (TPAOH), which is commonly used as a structure directing agent for the synthesis of MFI type zeolites, has been extensively studied [16,17]. The effects of heat treatment on the unit cell dimension of MFI type zeolite crystals have also been reported in literature [15,[18][19][20].…”

Si/Al = 100 appeared to be a unique ratio, allowing the material to possess the same Na + adsorption features (and hydrophilicity) of high alumina materials, but ion interactions resembling high silica materials. MFI-type zeolite is therefore shown to be highly configurable using Si/Al ratio for a wide variety of applications in the presence of ions.

“…They focused on the possible operating conditions under which reactant loss controls conversion in dehydrogenation reactions. However, Illgen et al [146] commented a feed dilution effect should always be considered during product analysis. It was stated that despite the high separation efficiency of the MFI zeolite membranes, e.g.…”
