Abstract
Microporous silica membranes have been prepared by low-temperature chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) of supported mesoporous γ-alumina membranes. The best results were obtained with silicon tetra-acetate as precursor with H2:N2 membrane selectivities of >40 and a H2 permeance of 4×10−7 mol/m2 s Pa at 250°C. This permeance compares favorably with that of state-of-the-art microporous CVI silica membranes. Experiments with silane as precursor did, however, not lead to selectivity improvements of the starting membranes.
