Infiltrated glassy carbon membranes in γ-Al2O3 supports
2006
Abstract A new infiltrated microporous membrane without defects has been obtained. For that, a microporous glassy carbon (GC) membrane was infiltrated inside the mesoporous structure of a γ-Al 2 O 3 support with 70% of porosity. GC material was formed after carbonisation of a phenolic resin which is deposited on the inner face of a tubular ceramic multilayer system. This consists of a cordierite support, an intermediate layer of α-Al 2 O 3 and a γ-Al 2 O 3 top layer. Textural properties of the unsupported GC membrane were determined by CO 2 adsorption at 273 K and inmersion calorimetry employing organic solvents with different molecular dimensions. The sequence of the GC deposition in γ-Al 2 O 3 support was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The final infiltrated membrane system was studied by N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherms at 77 K and gas permeation measurements.
