Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A separation membrane structure includes a porous support, a first separation membrane and a second separation membrane. The first separation membrane is formed on the porous support and contains high silica zeolite having Si/Al atomic ratio of greater than or equal to 200. The second separation membrane is formed on the first separation membrane and contains cation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A separation membrane structure comprising: a porous support, a first separation membrane formed on the porous support and containing high silica zeolite having an Si/Al atomic ratio of greater than or equal to 200, and a second separation membrane formed on the first separation membrane and containing at least one cation, wherein the high silica zeolite contained in the first separation membrane is zeolite that has a backbone of any of DDR, MEL, BEA and CHA, wherein the second separation membrane contains low silica zeolite that has a smaller Si/Al atomic ratio than the high silica zeolite contained in the first separation membrane, and wherein composite building units of the high silica zeolite contained in the first separation membrane share at least one of composite building unit of the low silica zeolite contained in the second separation membrane. 2. The separation membrane structure according to claim 1 , wherein the cation is at least one type of cation selected from the group consisting of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, Au, Ag, Cu, Ni, Co, Pd and Pt. 3. The separation membrane structure according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the second separation membrane is greater than or equal to 0.1 micrometers and less than or equal to 3.0 micrometers. 4. A separation membrane structure comprising: a porous support, a first separation membrane formed on the porous support and containing high silica zeolite having an Si/Al atomic ratio of greater than or equal to 200, and a second separation membrane formed on the first separation membrane and containing at least one cation, wherein the high silica zeolite contained in the first separation membrane is zeolite that has a backbone of any of DDR, MEL, BEA and CHA, and wherein a backbone structure of the high silica zeolite contained in the first separation membrane is the same as a backbone structure of the low silica zeolite contained in the second separation membrane. 5. The separation membrane structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second separation membrane contains low silica zeolite that has an Si/Al atomic ratio of less than or equal to 60.
