<embodiment>
Below, embodiments of the invention are described.In this embodiment, prepare to change 5 kinds of membrane components that manufacturing conditions obtains.Wherein, below the embodiment of explanation is not intended to limit the present invention.
(sample 1)
At first, will be dispersed in decentralized medium (water) as the alumina powder (Alpha-alumina, particle diameter 3 μ m) of inorganic porous material the alumina fluid dispersion of preparation pulp-like together with adhesive (ethyl cellulose base polymer).Then, utilize extrusion molding, the dispersion liquid of pulp-like is shaped to the formed body of tubulose.By under air atmosphere, this formed body being fired to (1500 ℃, 2 hours), manufacture the porous substrate of tubulose.The porosity of this porous substrate is 40%, average pore size is 0.7 μ m.
Then, form on the surface of above-mentioned porous substrate the ceramic separation film (Alpha-alumina film) formed by Alpha-alumina.Particularly, will be dispersed in decentralized medium (water) as the alumina powder (Alpha-alumina, particle diameter 1 μ m) of porous material the alumina fluid dispersion of preparation pulp-like together with adhesive (polyvinyl alcohol adhesive).Then, adopt dip coating, at the outer peripheral face of the porous substrate of above-mentioned tubulose, give above-mentioned Alpha-alumina dispersion liquid.After making solvent seasoning, fired (1200 ℃, 2 hours) under air atmosphere, thereby formed the ceramic separation film (Alpha-alumina film) of thickness 100 μ m on the surface of porous substrate.The porosity of this Alpha-alumina film is 39%, average pore size is 65nm.
Then, the fluorine-containing organic silicon compound is imparted to the surface of above-mentioned Alpha-alumina film.In the present embodiment, as above-mentioned organo-silicon compound, use perfluor dodecyl triethoxysilane (2H, 2H-triethoxysilane, be designated hereinafter simply as " PFDTES " for perfluorododecyl-1H, 1H).Adopt dip coating, this PFDTES is imparted to the surface of Alpha-alumina film with thickness 50nm.Then, under oxygen atmosphere, the Alpha-alumina film of having given PFDTES is heat-treated to (350 ℃, 1 hour), thereby remove PFDTES from the surface of Alpha-alumina film.The membrane component that will possess the ceramic separation film that such operation makes is called sample 1.
Below, the manufacturing conditions of sample 2~5 is described.Wherein, in the making of following sample, for the step that there is no special instruction, carry out the step same with above-mentioned sample 1.
(sample 2)
In sample 2, by above-mentioned heat treated Temperature Setting, it is 400 ℃.

(sample 5)
In sample 5, do not give any material on the surface of Alpha-alumina film, implement heat treatment (350 ℃, 1 hour) after forming this Alpha-alumina film.
The formation of above-mentioned each sample is summarized in to table 1.
[table 1]
Figure BDA0000393989110000191
(parsing on ceramic separation film surface)
At this, at first, observe the cross section of the ceramic separation film (the Alpha-alumina film after heat treatment) of sample 1 by SEM.The photo obtained is shown in to Fig. 3 A.Then, in this limits vision, carry out energy dispersion type X ray spectrum analysis (SEM-EDS analysis), carry out the quantitative and qualitative analysis of element.
The analysis result of SEM-EDS is shown in to Fig. 2.Fig. 2 means the figure of the energy dispersion type X ray spectrum analysis spectrum of sample 1.In this spectrogram, the longitudinal axis means counting, and transverse axis means the intensity of X ray.The results verification of this analysis is to the peak of carbon (C), oxygen (O), fluorine (F), aluminium (Al), silicon (Si).That is, the Alpha-alumina film of known sample 1 after heat treatment exists (remaining) each above-mentioned atom.And, according to having carried out the assay value that ZAF revises, on the surface of Alpha-alumina film, with respect to 100 aluminium atoms, have 4 fluorine atoms.So, for the distribution of the element of clear above-mentioned confirmation, for carbon (C), oxygen (O) and each element of aluminium (Al), carried out the SEM-EDS distributional analysis.
What will obtain by this distributional analysis the results are shown in Fig. 3 B~Fig. 3 D.Fig. 3 B means the result of SEM-EDS distributional analysis of the distribution of the carbon atom (C) in the cross section of Alpha-alumina film.Fig. 3 C means the result of SEM-EDS distributional analysis of the distribution of the oxygen atom (O) in the cross section of Alpha-alumina film.Fig. 3 D means the result of SEM-EDS distributional analysis of the distribution of the aluminium atom (Al) in the cross section of Alpha-alumina film.As shown in Figure 3 B, the result of being analyzed from SEM-EDS, carbon atom (C) does not almost detect in the inside of Alpha-alumina film (typically being the zone of the inside more than surperficial 5 μ of distance), that is, on surface and inner near surface zone, do not exist.Can think that thus the carbon atom detected comes from the organo-silicon compound on the surface that is imparted to the Alpha-alumina film (PFDTES).On the other hand, known as shown in Fig. 3 C and Fig. 3 D, oxygen atom (O) and aluminium atom (Al) are present in the inside of Alpha-alumina film in a large number.Can think that thus oxygen atom (O) and aluminium atom (Al) come from the aluminium oxide that forms ceramic separation film (Alpha-alumina film).
By above can think exist the material (residual after heat treatment) come from through heat treated organo-silicon compound on the surface of ceramic separation film.That is, can think that fluorine (F) and the silicon (Si) of having confirmed its existence in Fig. 2 are the atoms that comes from organo-silicon compound, with above-mentioned carbon, similarly be present in the surface (residual after heat treatment) of ceramic separation film.
(mensuration of water contact angle)
Then, for the hydrophobicity of assess sample 1 and sample 5, measure " water contact angle ".When measuring " water contact angle ", take JIS R3257(1999) measured as benchmark.Particularly, drip the water of 1 μ L on the surface of Alpha-alumina film, the angle θ that the surface of the tangent line of the water droplet of dropping and subjects is, as " water contact angle θ ", adopts θ/2 methods to measure water contact angle θ.
The result of said determination, the water contact angle θ on the surface of the Alpha-alumina film of sample 1 is more than 120 °.And the water contact angle θ on the surface of the Alpha-alumina film of sample 5 is below 50 °.Like this, be greater than the water contact angle θ of sample 5 by the water contact angle θ of sample 1, known sample 1 is difficult to soak (hydrophobicity is high) than sample 5.
(evaluation of water permeability)
Then, measure the water permeability of each sample.Particularly, each sample is cut to the circle into diameter 30mm, be fixed on support.Under the state of the Alpha-alumina film side contacts that makes water and each sample, to the direction of porous substrate, water is pressurizeed.Then, will periodically improve the water applied pressure, the pressure when water penetrates into the porous substrate side is measured as " authorized pressure ".The authorized pressure of each sample (MPa) is shown in to this hurdle of table 1.
As shown in table 1, in sample 1,4, until apply 0.2MPa(2bar) above pressure, water does not all penetrate into the porous substrate side.That is, known sample the 1, the 4th, do not see through the water-impermeable film of water during hydraulic pressure below 0.2MPa.On the other hand, in the sample 5 of not giving organo-silicon compound, even do not exert pressure, water also penetrates into the porous substrate side.That is, the known diffusion barrier only consisted of Alpha-alumina does not have water-impermeable.In addition, sample 2,3, even apply 0.4MPa(4bar) above pressure, water does not penetrate into the porous substrate side yet.Can think thus in the sample 3 that average pore size at the pore that heat treated temperature is elevated to the sample 2 of 400 ° and Alpha-alumina film is 4nm, give more excellent water-impermeable.
(selecting the evaluation of permeability)
Then, the selection permeability of sample 1 and 5 is estimated.At this, use nitrogen (N 2), distilled water, absolute ethyl alcohol (99.5%, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. produce), toluene (99.5%, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. produce), adopt the method identical with above-mentioned " evaluation of water permeability ", selected the evaluation of permeability.This evaluation result is shown in to Fig. 4.Wherein, the transverse axis of Fig. 4 means that, to mixture applied pressure (bar), the longitudinal axis means the transit dose (mol/m of each material 2.s.Pa).And, in Fig. 4, the transit dose of the icon representation sample 1 that full coat is black, the transit dose of hollow icon representation sample 5.
As shown in Figure 4, the nitrogen (N of comparative sample 1 and sample 5 2) transit dose, sample 1 and sample 5 both, nitrogen (N 2) all suitably see through the N of sample 1 and sample 5 2the gas permeability is equal extent.
Water (the H of comparative sample 1 and sample 5 2o) transit dose, see through water under the state of exerting pressure in sample 5, even and apply the pressure about 2bar in sample 1, do not make water see through yet.That is, known sample 1 has excellent water-impermeable.
The permeability of the ethanol of comparative sample 1 and sample 5 (Ethanol) under the state of pressure low (below 1.2bar), sees through ethanol, and in sample 1, could not make ethanol see through in sample 5.So, when pressure strengthens (more than 1.2bar), the permeability to ethanol also appears in sample 1, the permeability of known appearance and sample 5 same trend.
The transit dose of the toluene of comparative sample 1 and sample 5 (Toulene), sample 1 and sample 5 all have the permeability of same trend.That is, 5 pairs of toluene of known sample 1 and sample all have excellent permeability.
As mentioned above, sample 5 all sees through the contained whole material of mixture.With respect to this, in sample 1, there is the impermeability to water under the pressurized conditions below 2bar, and there is the impermeability to ethanol under the pressurized conditions below 1.2bar.That is, can think that sample 1 has the impermeability of water (according to pressurized conditions, also comprising ethanol) and has other materials (N 2gas, ethanol, toluene) permeability, there is the selection permeability.Therefore the ceramic separation film of known sample 1 can be suitable for separating the mixture from containing water or ethanol (particularly water) material of regulation.
(TG-DTA evaluation)
In addition, for the variation of confirming that organo-silicon compound produce due to heat treatment, carry out differential thermogravimetric amount and measure (TG-DTA:Thermo Gravimeter-Differential Thermal Analysis) simultaneously.At this, the device " Thermoplus " that uses Co., Ltd. Neo-Confucianism to manufacture, given the sample of PFDTES for the sample 1(of above-mentioned making on the surface of perforated membrane) measured.Particularly, under air atmosphere, with 5.0 ℃/min of programming rate, from room temperature, be warming up to 600 ℃, confirm exothermic peak temperature and weight change.Measurement result is shown in to Fig. 5.
As shown in Figure 5, in sample 1 near 250 ℃ (254.1 ℃) confirmed obvious weight and reduced.Afterwards, near 250 ℃~550 ℃, observe the minimizing of the weight of following exothermic peak, when surpassing about 600 ℃, almost can't see weight change.Therefore, while in manufacture method disclosed herein, using PFDTES as organo-silicon compound, for example, by by heat treated Temperature Setting being more than 200 ℃, below 700 ℃ (typically be more than 250 ℃ below 600 ℃, more than 300 ℃ below 600 ℃), can give suitable gas-premeable and water-impermeable to perforated membrane.
Utilizability on industry
In the diffusion barrier of the water-impermeable made by manufacture method disclosed herein, with high level, have both gas-premeable and water-impermeable.Therefore, can be suitable for use as the gas separation membrane for example desirable gas separated with water (comprising steam).And, because this diffusion barrier consists of pottery, so heat resistance and resistance to chemical reagents excellence can be applied in various fields.
