Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A zeolite membrane complex comprises: a support; and a zeolite membrane formed on the support. The membrane is of SAT-type zeolite, and in an X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by X-ray irradiation to the zeolite membrane, a peak intensity around 2θ=13.9° is 1.5 times or more a peak intensity around 2θ=8.5°.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A zeolite membrane complex comprising: a support; and a zeolite membrane formed on said support, wherein said zeolite membrane is of SAT-type zeolite, and in an X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by X-ray irradiation to said zeolite membrane, a peak intensity around 2θ=13.9° is 1.5 times or more a peak intensity around 2θ=8.5°. 2. The zeolite membrane complex according to claim 1 , wherein in said X-ray diffraction pattern, the peak intensity around 2θ=13.9° is two times or more the peak intensity around 2θ=8.5°. 3. The zeolite membrane complex according to claim 1 , wherein said support is porous. 4. The zeolite membrane complex according to claim 1 , wherein said support is an alumina sintered compact or a mullite sintered compact. 5. A method of producing a zeolite membrane complex, comprising: a) synthesizing SAT-type zeolite by hydrothermal synthesis and obtaining seed crystals from said zeolite; b) depositing said seed crystals on a support; c) immersing said support in a starting material solution having a pH greater than or equal to 5 and less than or equal to 9 prepared by mixing an aluminum source and a phosphorus source while maintaining a pH greater than or equal to 4 at all times after mixing the aluminum source and phosphorous source, and growing SAT-type zeolite from said seed crystals by hydrothermal synthesis to form a zeolite membrane on said support; and d) removing a structure-directing agent from said zeolite membrane. 6. The method of producing a zeolite membrane complex, according to claim 5 , wherein in an X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by X-ray irradiation to said zeolite membrane, a peak intensity around 2θ=13.9° is 1.5 times or more a peak intensity around 2θ=8.5°. 7. The method of producing a zeolite membrane complex, according to claim 5 , wherein in said operation a) or c), aluminum alkoxide or an alumina sol is used as the aluminum source in the hydrothermal synthesis.
