Abstract

In this study, mesoporous titania/alumina membranes were prepared by sol-gel method. Pore structure and phase composition of titania/alumina membranes could be changed by calcination temperature. The addition of alumina into titania membranes retarded anatase-to-rutile phase transformation, resulting in stabilization of pore structures. The 5 time dip-coated membrane calcined at $450^{\circ}C$ is about $10.3{\mu}m$ in thickness with an average pore size of 5 nm. Hydrogen and nitrogen permeances through the membrane were $17.1{\times}10^{-7}mol/m^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa$ and $4.7{\times}10^{-7}mol/m^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa$, respectively. These data were explained by the Knudsen diffusion mechanism.

본 연구에서는 메조기공 티타니아/알루미나 막을 솔-젤법을 이용하여 제조하였다. 티타니아/알루미나 막의 기공구조 및 결정상은 하소 온도에 따라 조절될 수 있었다. 티타니아에 알루미나를 첨가하는 것은 티타니아 결정상이 아나타제상에서 루타일상으로 상변화 되는 것을 지연시켜 기공구조의 열적 안정화를 가져왔다. 5번 딥코팅하여 제조된 막의 두께는 $10.3{\mu}m$였으며, 평균 기공크기는 5 nm이었다. 기체 투과 실험 결과는 수소와 질소의 permeance는 각각 $17.1{\tiems}10^{-7}mol/m^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa$ 및 $4.7{\tiems}10^{-7}mol/m^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa$이었다. 이 결과는 Knudsen 확산에 의해 설명될 수 있었다.
